First of all,

I know which puppy farmer you were referring to. Everyone who has done their research would know which are the farms to avoid. BEWARE !

Samoyeds are indeed very few in this country, hence, these puppy farmers tend to exploit it to their advantage by raising the price, sometimes to undue levels. A sound and reasonable man would know it is totally unethical.

Amongs many things, having been associated with this wonderful breed for a few years, I have not known of a registered breeder/exhibitor with show quality blood lines demanded such a price for an unproven, unregistered, and non-pedigreed pup for such a price! [let alone a puppy farmer or backyard breeder]

At this moment, I strongly suggest that fanciers of any breed be extra vigilant and careful to choose or purchase from knowledgable registered breeders who are happy to provide you with support and guidance. Remember, a healthy and happy canine beats a beautiful 3 mth old pup who may turn out to be a very unhappy/unhealthy dog hands down !

For you to ponder ....
Ps: [I am happy to assist anyone who may be interested in this stunning breed, be it information etc ...pls send me a private message]
Cheers!
