Kelsa
Kelsa is our multiple Group Winning, Best in Show winner. She has twice been ranked in the top 10 Samoyeds in Canada, with many other Group placements to her credit.
Kelsa had been chosen, as litter pick, to go to Florence Hawdon in Ontario, while we kept her litter sister, our Gemma. Unfortunately Florence’s husband became seriously ill a short time later, and Florence returned Kelsa to us, as she felt she would not have time to devote to her show career just then, although we continued to co-own her. Kelsa had already taken her first points and Best of Breed from the classes. She went on to finish easily in Canada, and earned numerous Group placements in tough West Coast Group competition.
Kelsa earned her American Championship with Winners at the Willamette Specialty in Oregon, June 2007, and again the following day, then Best of Winners at a Willamette Valley supported entry in January 2008 and finally Best of Breed at Yakima Valley shows in May 2008.
Kelsa has twice won Best in Show – first at Tyee Kennel Club in 2009, and a second in January 2013 at the age of 9 years, and after 3 litters! She was ranked as #1 Samoyed in Canada til the end of June 2013, when we more or less retired her; although we will still show her occasionally, since she loves it so!
