Q. & A. with Sandy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We bought a show dog and we were hooked. We wanted to share the love of the breed with families who could enjoy them as well.
  • What makes your program special?

    We have a mentorship with Judi Elford of Vanderbilt Samoyeds, with not only mentorship, but providing the very best of genetics and international bloodlines.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • X-Linked Progressive Retinal Atrophy (XL-PRA), DNA Disease Panel, Retinal Dysplasia/Oculoskeletal Dysplasia 1 (RD OSD)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
