Updated Pedigree Pages
The pedigree pages, have not been updated in quite a while, so it is more usefull for older dogs!
It is now powered by “Pedpoint”, and when I get a chance to migrate my old code into it, you will be able to add your own pedigrees, or fix any of my mistakes 😉
To see the pages go to the Pedigree Search Form, there is also a link to it under the “Our Links” tab on the right.
To view the pages, requires a user id & password, so if you havent already you will need to register & login, which you can do Here. Don’t worry it is free, and I will not use your details for anything, other than entry to these pages. (Update, there is a generic User/password prefilled, which you can use)
The User/ Password is a Pedpoint requirement and once again, when I get a chance to work it out, I will probably only make it a requirement if you want to add/ or edit any of the pedigrees.
This is for the future, and will probably take me a while to get around to it.

Site Updated After A Long Absense
Sorry to those people that use to look at the Samoyed pedigree pages, it is still there, just hidden away.
When I get a chance to modernise, it’s look, I’ll add it back into these pages.
We are finally getting back into owning Samoyeds, so this page will reflect our new girls progress, when we get her, next week
Samoyed Breed Standard
AS PUBLISHED BY THE N.S.W. CANINE COUNCIL
GENERAL APPEARANCE
The Samoyed being essentially a working dog should be strong and active and graceful, and as his work lies in cold climates his coat should be heavy and weather resisting. He should not be too long in back, as a weak back would make him practically useless for his legitimate work; but at the same time a cobby body, such as a Chow’s would also place him at great disadvantage as a draught dog. Breeders should aim for the happy medium, viz. a body not long, but muscular, allowing liberty, with a deep chest and well sprung ribs, strong neck proudly arched, straight front and exceptionally strong loins. Both dogs and bitches should give the appearance of being capable of great endurance but should be free from courseness. A full grown dog should stand about 53.5cm (21ins) at the shoulder. On account of the depth of the chest required the legs should be moderately long, a very short legged dog is to be deprecated. Hindquarters should be particularly well developed, stifles well angulated, and any suggestion of unsound stifles or cowhocks severely penalised.
CHARACTERISTICS
The Samoyed is intelligent, alert, full of action but above all displaying affection towards mankind.
