Meet the breeder
I'm Darlene R., the breeder behind Starstruck Samoyeds located in Hayden, ID. Our dogs excel both in and out of the show ring. They are excellent representations of the breed and have wonderful temperaments. We breed in order to preserve the wonderful attributes we found in our dogs. Because of our dedication to both the health and quality of the breed, it's our goal to pass these traits down to future generations.

Parent dogs
Jamie, dad
Samoyed
About Jamie
Jamie is the sweetest male who loves to play with everyone. His favorite thing in the world is to run FASTCAT. (It’s like a 100 yard dash for dogs). He is crazy fast and working on the third level title in this.
Dany, mom
Samoyed
About Dany
She is the best mama dog, this time too intense about cleaning her babies to give them pink little faces! : ) This fades! Dany is very athletic and is going to be running agility courses after her babies leave home.
