This is my beautiful Sadie, a champion Samoyed. Every morning she likes to stand here, on the wall above the pool, and survey her domain. Are there any deer nibbling mom’s plants?? Any squirrels that need to be chased?? Once she’s confident that all is right in her world, she’ll come down the steps and be sociable.

Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm Nikon lens. The shutter was at 1/160 and the aperture was f/11.0; exp -.33, iso 200.

    The samoyed would be my choice,

    Do you show your’s?She is so beautifuley Groomed!!!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Thank you so much!! We did show Sadie, but she got her championship several years ago so we’ve only shown her once since them. They’re really a wonderful breed … if you have any questions about them, let me know and I’ll be happy to help!! I have a Maltese, too, and they are SUCH lovies!!! I’ll have to check out your site for pics of yours!! Thanks for your note and have a great weekend!!!

    Pat Yager

    Ohhhhh, Lois, what a DREAM dog you have! She’s “out of this world”! Love at first sight!! She looks like a walking powderpuff! Wouldn’t she be gorgeous standing next to one of the brilliant white peacocks some RBers have photographed! ‘Course, she’d probably have other ideas than to stand still next to one! About 30 years ago we rescued a HUGE Samoyed, named him Shasta, and loved him with all our hearts! I still miss him! So I can understand how you must love your Sadie. Please give her a hug for me! – Pat

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Dear Pat!!! Thank you so much for your sweet note!!! And yes, I will give Sadie some love from you. She is the sweetest natured animal God ever created, but this is a very independent breed. She has great dignity. We are so blessed to have her as part of our lives. She’s from the Nerak Kennels in Mt Jackson, Virginia, and is a champion. She’s on the small end of the breed standard at about 40 lbs … but perfectly proportioned and smart as can be. You should see her and little Peach together … they were having a barking contest last night … hilarious!!!!!! Of course as you can imagine little Peach is always the instigator, lol!!! I’m sure your Shasta was a darling!!!! It’s a magnificent breed!!! Thank you so much for your note … I can talk (write?) forever about 2 things .. photography and dogs, lol!!!!!!

    Sadie is GORGEOUS! and your exposure on her white (awesome) coat is captured perfectly. Phantom is exactly the way. But no deer here in SoCal but squirrels are his main enemy. He checks his yard many times a day. LOL
