This is our male samoyed, a son of our Aurora from Sweden and Snemark's Mr Cutty from Denmark.
His official name is Koraal's Boreas Djèdaay but we call him Muka.
Herewith three portraits of Muka,
the same dog photographed within just one week,
but with a very different expression!
Muka is a nice and intelligent dog. He is well educated and listens perfectly.
A male with the typical non aggressive samoyed character.

This is our female Aurora. Her official name is Polarullens Aljana Aurora and we bought Aurora in Sweden at the Polarullens kennel.
We always call Aurora with her full name Aurora.
She is a very clever female who still wants to learn new things every day. She can open doors and take out her own food from the cupboard. She always walks without a leash, except in area's with cars around. She likes to hunt in the woods with her daughter but Aurora has a so called 'hard bit' and I'm afraid she will kill little animals like birds and rabbits, so I keep her under close control mostly by using hand signs, sometimes verbal. Aurora is a worker, always wants to have something to do, doesn't matter what.

This is our female Sunshine, a daughter of our Polarullens Aljana Aurora from Sweden and Chatanika's Midnight Run from Denmark.
Her official name is Koraal's Arctic Sunshine. We call her Sunshine but sometimes we also call her Sushi. Sunshine is looking more and more like her mother. She has a sweet and reliable character. She likes to run and run and run.... she just is very fast in running! Sunshine certainly is not a dog to always keep on the leash. So we are lucky she listens very well (also thanks to a lot of training of course). She is trained to carry out a half day's job as watch-dog at the office. She also likes to hunt and recently caught a rabbit. However, she has a so called 'soft bit' so I was able to set the rabbit free after Sushi presented the animal to me without harming it.

Samoyeds in the Dark

I always wondered what kept Samoyeds busy during the dark periods in their life when they were living in ancient times. The long dark winters on the Tundra... what did they do then, besides herding the reindeer? I wonder why we rarely see pictures of Samoyeds in the dark!

Well, the last two months I took my camera with me when I walked the dogs late at night. I noticed that they loved to run free in the dark woodland. They always stayed rather close to me an they never showed any sign of running away.

But what I also noticed is that they started hunting a lot! They listened whilst standing very still, the ears were moving to all sides (when you experience this, you are convinced that the Samoyed need well developed ears!) and suddenly they jumped onto a little mouse. Just like wolves and foxes do, with four feet from the ground, the body bended with the head down to the ground.
I yet did not succeed to photograph this beautiful jump but I will do my utmost and perhaps one day I can also show you that picture!

It's not easy to take pictures in the dark. The biggest problem is that you almost cannot focus on the animal. But with a little patience, a right estimation of the distance and switching off the automatic functions on the camera, I'm convinced that everyone is able to take pictures of Samoyeds in the dark!
