I'm Andrea D., the breeder behind ArticCross Samoyeds-Florida located in Hollywood, FL. Health, temperament, grace, and beauty are the cornerstones of our program. Our dogs are beautiful, affectionate, and intelligent! For over 35 years, ArticCross has been a family effort by Julie and Jason Rydstrand, and Julie's daughter Drea Dunkle. Dogs we have produced have competed successfully in various venues and sports, but ultimately, we believe that dogs are pets and they are an important part of our family.
