Our First Sam

Here are some pictures of Chynda. We got her in 1983. That makes 25 years of Sams! She was a show quality puppy, though we did not show her. We had kids of our own after getting her, and we didn't think about showing. She had two puppies, Marble and something (the kids named them.) I wish I knew the name of the stud dog Mrs. Coulter used, just for fun. Chynda was from Whitecliff Samoyeds in the bay area.

Chynda was lovely and sweet. Matt would walk around with a hamburger in his hand, as a tiny tot, out by the pool, and Chynda would just follow along behind him, never trying to steal it, though ever hopeful it would drop...
