I have been involved with Samoyeds from a very young age & bought my own 1st Samoyed at the age of 17 from the renowned Kalina Kennels of Mrs Sydenham_Clarke.
My family ventured into Cocker Spaniels when I was 10 & were very successful in the show ring. I participated in Junior Handlers & soon discovered my love of dog showing.

In 1977 Kalina Fair Stara joined our family along with a few Cockers & our old Sammy girl. I started handling for Kalina Kennels in 1983 as I wanted to learn as much as possible about this wonderful breed.

I have judged Group 6 in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland. I have also judged Samoyed specialties in Victoria, NSW, Auckland & Wellington New Zealand.
