About Crisandi Samoyeds

We have owned, loved, exhibited and bred Samoyeds exclusively since 1983. 

We are currently owned by 6 Samoyeds, each a loving part of our family. 4 outdoor kennels are in the yard and they are seldom used.  We do not 'warehouse' our dogs, as they are a part of our family and we enjoy their company.

We have bred and/or owned 20+ conformation champions and other titled dogs, including working, sledding and agility titles with many other Samoyeds championship pointed

Our goal is not to achieve top breeder or top dog awards, or earn records in the show ring, but to breed a healthy Samoyed who is sound in both body and mind. A Samoyed that is a fine example of the breed that adjusts naturally into any family life. 

Our satisfaction is not in lofty titles or awards, but in knowing our dogs conform to the standard and make excellent family additions, and that we can show for pleasure and entertainment 

Temperament is our priority and the super sweet Samoyed disposition must be preserved and considered before those show wins.  

A Samoyed who is a top winner in the show ring but does not display the sweet temperament the breed is known for, is not a winner at all.

We do not breed excessively, and breeding is never considered a source of income. Usually one litter a year, and sometimes two.  

Each litter is thought out carefully, and since we are proud of our boys, we  use our own studs as well as breed out to other stud dogs as pedigree planning dictates. 

We believe in line breeding, but also outcrossing, and both these methods are carefully considered before breeding, with  genetic diversity and breed strength always a concern.

Our dogs are hip cleared by either OFA or OVC and the dogs have their eyes CERF certified.  We breed only healthy dogs.
