We have never before repeated a breeding but we were very happy with the results from this litter the first time, (see the picture below of older sister Sochi). Since we didn’t keep anything, we decided to do it again! Our plan was to keep a girl this time, and since there was only one girl in the litter of 5, this was our keeper!
She has started her show career well, first winning Best Baby Puppy in Spitz Breed Theme show, and then winning Best of Breed over a Special and Best Puppy in Group her first time out in the official show ring, though she would not stand still for photos!
Zena had an amazing year – finishing her Championship in only a couple of weekends, winning numerous Adult Group placements and Best Puppy in Show on the way – with the result that she has ended 2018 as #9 Samoyed in the Breed and #3 Puppy – we have high hopes for her future!
In 2019, Zena earned her Grand Championship in Canada; and not to be outdone, her litter brother ZeeDee in Colorado has now earned his Am Championship too!
