Stella Maris SamoyedsUseful things
What we recommend, and where to check us.
The kit we actually use, and the independent organisations you can use to verify anything a breeder tells you — including us.
The kit
What to buy before they arrive.
Grooming
- A slicker brush
- A long-tooth metal comb
- An undercoat rake
- A high-velocity dryer, eventually
Home
- A crate that fits the adult dog, with a divider
- A raised bed for summer
- Stainless bowls
- An enzyme cleaner, for the first fortnight
Out and about
- A flat collar and an ID tag
- A well-fitted harness
- A six-foot lead, not a flexi
- A long line for recall practice
Shop links coming. Annamarie is putting together a list of the exact products she uses. Once that is ready this page will link straight to them.
Check us yourself
Independent sources.
None of these are ours, and that is the point. Every claim we make about health testing can be verified through them.
Samoyed Club of America
The breed’s parent club — the full standard, breeder referral, and health information.
OFA / CHIC
Look up any dog’s health clearances yourself, including ours.
AKC Canine Good Citizen
The temperament and manners programme, and where to find a local evaluator.
AKC Breeder with H.E.A.R.T.
What the programme requires of a breeder who carries the badge.
