d'Keta Samoyeds   

d'Keta's Riley

Riley came out of his retirement as he approached age 10 in January of 2011 when we decided to show him at just the west coast Samoyed Specialties to "see what he could do." Most Samoyeds are retired by age 5 or 6; some do go on longer in the show ring. Riley is out of the superstar Ono (BISS Ch. Oakbrook's Strike It Rich) and Group Placing Cricket (Ch. Sanorka's Trip Into Tamara)...read more.

In 1950 Christie Smith's beloved pet Samoyed was named Keta. Years later Keta #2, Can. Ch. Kamelot's Danish Shadow Von HNP HIC CGC WSX came to us from one of the pioneers in the breed, Mardee Ward-Fanning of Hoof n' Paw and Jennifer Brown of Kamelot. Christie, together with Jim, Ryann and Celinda, are proud of d’Keta Samoyeds, a line that has produced beautiful dogs for family pets, show, and all Working events.
