Ownership of Samoyeds since 1983! Samoyeds have been part of our family. In 2017, we imported Stoli Bear from Russia and could not neuter him! He is from championship lines and has that "old world" teddy bear face! We imported Lilah from Ukraine, also from Championship lines for him, and thus began Sierra Samoyeds.What makes your program special?
