Lealsam Samoyeds NZ was re-established in 2000 by Andy & Denise Reeve on our 16 acre Farmlet in Mosgiel New Zealand.

Lealsam Samoyed  Kennels was originally established in the United Kingdom by my Grandfather Lt Cdr T I Ironside.

My passion for Samoyeds came about when helping my Grandfather in the UK from a very young age.

Our ongoing successes are not only in the Show Ring, but at Agility and Obedience.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SAMOYED

 As handsome a dog as one could wish to see, with his compact form of thick, brilliant white coat.  Biscuit or cream is permissible.  Being a working dog the Samoyed needs to be strong and active, and he is usually so well put together that every movement is instinct with grace.  In his native land he acts as guard, herd or hunter, and more occasionally is put to draught uses.  Teams have done excellently in some of the Arctic or Antarctic expeditions. With these multifaruios duties in view, breeders aim at producing a male standing about 22 inches at Shoulder  and 20 Inches at Shoulder for females, with a back of medium length, and broad and muscular.  The stout straight and muscular legs should be long enough to admit of great depth and breadth of chest, but not so long as to constitute a weakness.  Hindquarters strongly develped, stifles well bent.  Broad flat skull. Muzzle of medium length and tapering foreface.  Erect ears, Dark eyes, Black Nose preferred, but brown or flesh-coulured permitted.  Thick soft undercoat, through which grow the harsh hairs constituting the outer coat.
