Crusades of Cub n Pup: It is time!

For several years now I been wanting a dog, just wasn't sure when and what breed I should get. When I lived with my roommate in FL, her parents bred Golden Retriever's, so I was thinking of getting that breed. After awhile of going back and forth with my roommate on getting a dog.....(she keep saying I couldn't have a dog in the condo, now she has two! :-P ) I gave up on the though if getting a dog. Once I moved to Atlanta, I wanted a dog so bad, but it wasn't fair to get a dog and stick him in a small apt. Everyone suggested for me to get a small dog, but c'mon on! A big guy like me wouldn't look right with a small yapper. Besides small dogs are not dogs they are rats. One dog I truly love, is my parents dog, they have a Samoyed, he is the most loyal dog they have ever had....although he has his days when he doesn't want to be bothered, and growls at my mom, I know she keeps nagging at him, I would too I know how my mom is.

So I decided! I want a Samoyed puppy, they are not large dogs or small. They are friendly, seem to always have a smile on....like me! I did months of research and Georgia does not have any breeders that are recognized by the AKC as the National parent club for the Samoyed breed. I called up a few adoption agencies and talked to a few pet stores about my search. Most of them said for a price they can get me a Samoyed puppy. Only problem that I found with that is, I wouldn't know the linage or family health history of dog, I don't want a "puppy mill" pup or "back yard breeder" pup. So I decided to spend the extra cash and get myself a pure breed AKC Samoyed. The closest breeder is in Brandon, FL, which is only 20 minutes away from Tampa, my old stomping grounds. I did research on the breeder and their dogs and they have two litters for this year, one ready for June and the other will be ready for November. I filled the application and waiting for a respond from the breed on my deposit.....so hopefully soon I will know if at last I will be getting my puppy!

The first picture is from the breeders website, these puppies are from the June litter. Different parents then the November litter, but they will look like these puppies at 2 months.
