Please look at our slide show of dogs.... we add to this as we collect more photos of our Samoyeds. You hope will find that they are every bit as appealing and beautiful at home as loved pets as they are in the show ring.

In Memory of Blaze
It is with heartbreak that we share the loss of Ch Hobby Horse Nordic Ghost Ryder, whom we call Blaze. He was the sire and grandsire of of champions. He sired our Celebration and Skarlet and is great grandsire to Allure. And great-great grandsire to DeLorean, Moxie, Rocketman and Bravo.. the next generation.
He was born on February 28, 2007 and passed on March 25, 2021. We will miss our little boy Blaze.
