Activities - Herding
Samoyeds are amazing and very intelligent animals. It can at times be challenging to compete in dog sports with a Samoyed but if you dare it is also extremely rewarding. A Sammy's love is like no other and life without a samoyed would be extremely boring if you ask me.
Although we love the show ring, We very much enjoy spending quality time doing many things together. We believe it is important as a breeder not just to exhibit in the show ring, but also take the challenge and get involved in other areas of the dog world. It is very interesting watching different breeds work. The knowledge, skills and insite gained from other activites is amazing, inspiring and extremely rewarding. I love every minute and I know my dogs do too.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about the sports we are involved in please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected] I would be more than happy to answer your questions.
Herding
Kellie decided to embark on the aspect of developing the herding instinct with our dogs that is inherent in the Samoyed. herding is a great stimulation for the dogs and they have a ball. It is also great socialisation for them. Shimmer thrived on this as she is not only a very feminine pretty girl, with excellent movement and a champion in the show ring but she is also very intellegent and a social butterfly, Inka is extremely smart at herding and can move the sheep with little to no instruction.
Shimmer and Inka passed their Herding Instinct Test (first time) on Sunday 26 April 2009,
so they are now able to complete at the herding trials, unfortunately due the weekend Kellie was taking them to a herding trial for the next level, Tamiera became unwell and we lost her on the Monday, so Kellie never returned to this sport.
In 2024 Judy decided to take Chatter to a social training day. He absolutely trived. So we entered a trial, grateful to his trainer Sandra for handling him to his Herding Title (HT) We look forward to continuing this journey with him
