quota of champions for a small kennel. This months spotlight is on Pat Backhaus. Pat was our GMSF 2010 Secretary and enjoys her retirement as a snow bird. Thanks to Pat for all her great answers! How long have you owned Samoyeds? After that I co-owned Alever's Four x Four O the Floor with Eve, and she was the start of my kennel. I have now finished my latest champion that is the sixth generation of my breedings. In the meantime, I was looking for a very special male to complete the picture.

As I continued on, Jimmy was bred to Karin Nyhuis's Ch Bramblewood's Quick Claim (Boka) to produce Ch Persnickety's Miss Ellie whom I co-owned with John and Deb Myrechuck. She was my first OFA Excellent and finished with 3 majors, which at that time was a big thing. She also was a group placer, her first being under Anne Rodgers Clark. I kept her brother Ch Persnickety's Road to Fame as well. His son, Ch Persnickety's Pt Cruiser (pictured Pg 1), went winners dog at the Minnsota specialty 2003, and has champion offspring. He is now 11 years old and doing well.
ety's Sassy Niner (pictured) she was born 9-9-1999 and recently went to the rainbow bridge. . Nina was bred to Ch Chatanika's Winter Diamond and five little munchkins hit the world. Ch Persnickety's Sierra O'Alever (owned by Alever Kennels), Persnickety's Winter Delight (Best Bred By at the 2004 Samoyed Nationals), and Persnickety's Sparkl'n the Snow , (Chloe, the sparkle in my eye) were among the puppies in that litter.
Ch Persnickety's Sweet and Sassy was bred to Ch Snowberry's Burton of Mauyak to produce two boys. One of them was Ch Persnickety's One Sassy Kid, known as Simba from the Lion King movie, which was popular at that time. When it was time to look for a girl for him there was a puppy just looking for me out of a litter Karen Brooks had done with Jeanne Nonhof. She came to be known Ch Moonlighter's Applause.

Lucky for me, there was both a boy and a girl. I retired from work and decided to spend the winters in Arizona, so when they were 10 weeks old we all spent our first winter in Arizona. They had a blast as there is a huge dog park for them to play in and socialize. Tunwar (above), named by my grandson, (Ch Persnickety's Moonlit Snow) finished with three majors and is working toward his Grand Championship. Tunwars sister Hannah (pictured below), Persnickety's Misty Sky, has both her majors and only needs singles to finish. Tunwar has an OFA good and I am so proud Hannah has an OFA Excellent! Eyes are clear on both. That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Do you have pets other than Samoyeds? Yes I have my favorite horse, Willy, with whom I do a lot of trail riding. Three kitties. What is your most memorable dog show / dog competition moment? First one was when my friend and I were heading to Minnesota in October and got buried in a snowstorm, 21 inches to be exact. It took us all night to get there. We followed the snow plow in. Got there and there was a semi jack knifed in our exit. Got to the hotel and stuck in the yard, emptied an ash tray on the ground and away we went to our room. What a night . That was the weekend my boy Snickers went best in Specialty 1991. I also was also thrilled when my Nina took back to back majors at our Double Exposure Specialty. What are some of the most notable dogs you have owned/produced? My Miss Ellie was the super show dog just loved to show. Chloe was my sweet heart, as far as I can see they are all special to me and of course will never forget my Snicker's. If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be? I don't know I kind of like it the way I have it now here in Wisconsin for the summer and Arizona in the winters. How do you spend your free time? Lot's of camping, horseback riding and camping with them, I have a big garden and a lot of flower beds. What is your motto in life? I live for every day enjoy it to the fullest to share with my husband and keep our health. Who do you admire? I have made many wonderful friends over the years doing this Samoyed adventure. I admire them all. Are there any Sammy adventures you have not tried yet, but would like to? I have had adventures with them already pack hiking, swimming, herding and agility. They go with us where ever we go.
