PEDIGREE


Sider at 6 months old

In September, 2007, I had the fortunate opportunity to meet and visit with Jeanne Nonhof of Moonlighter Samoyeds in Wisconsin, USA. Jeanne has bred several top U.S. Champions, including “Bark” (MBISS & BIS Am Can Ch Moonlighter’s Ima Bark Star TT) and Stanley (MBISS Am Can Ch Moonlighter’s Grandstander). What I enjoy so much about Jeanne is her obvious love of the breed, and her work with them. Not only does she show these wonderful dogs, she does agility and weight-pull as well!! She genuinely appreciates the true versatility of this breed, an appreciation we share. Her many accomplishments can be found at http://www.moonlightersamoyeds.com/index.html.

While I was visiting Jeanne, she had two yearling girls from the 2006 Stanley breeding, and I fell in love with Sider! After much visiting and watching the Moonlighter dogs (including Sider’s mother AND grandmother), Jeanne and I agreed that Sider would come to Canada and become the second foundation girl of Sershan Samoyeds.

With only one previous US show under her belt as a puppy, Sider proved her worth here in Canada in short order as a ‘yearling’ at 16 months old. Her first show, first 2 days in the ring, she won Best of Breed! Her second show, she won Best of Winners the first 2 days, earning her Canadian Championship in only two weekends!!

Sider at 16 months
 

In December/08, Sider produced our second litter, also sired Tundra. There were 5
boys and 2 girls this time, with the pick girl, "Shiner", returning to Jeanne to hopefully
participate in the future of Moonlighter Samoyeds.

The pick male, Thor, remains at home at Sershan Samoyeds. See the "Puppies" page for pictures of the entire litter.

Sider Enjoys sledding, working on the team and training as a wheel dog. After all, her
father was a top weight-pull dog in the U.S.! We will be working on her weight-pull, too,
so watch for this unique girl!
