The Samoyed Club of Austin, Inc., was founded in 1982 by a group of people with one interest in common: Their love for the big white dog that smiles!  Our foremost goal is the welfare and betterment of the breed! We would like to see the breed protected and preserved in a manner that carries on an outstanding heritage!

The Samoyed Club of Austin, Inc., is a licensed member club of the American Kennel Club, Inc., achieving this status in 1993. We held our first licensed specialty show in conjunction with the Heart of Texas Cluster in May 1994! In 1995, the club hosted the Samoyed Club of America, Inc. National Specialty in Austin, Texas!

Our members include individuals who have owned Sammies for over twenty-five years, to those who have just become interested in our wonderful breed! Our members have interest that vary from conformation showing and obedience trials, to Samoyed Rescue, to just having a fun, loving pet!

Meetings are held bi-monthly at various locations. Our club newsletter Sammy Tails is published and distributed monthly. We host a yearly Samoyed Regional Specialty.

Additionally, our club takes an active role in the community. Time and money are donated to local humane societies. Visitations to nursing homes are made with members and their Samoyeds. Samoyed Club of Austin Rescue works closely with community animal shelter in assuring displaced Sammies are placed in loving homes. A presentation entitled "Safety Around Dogs" was produced for grades K-3 in the Austin Independent School District. Numerous efforts are made in support of two local all breed clubs. We have sponsored seminars, handling classes, and currently maintain a Sammy Rescue network with other Sammy Clubs in the United States.

The Samoyed Club of Austin, Inc., was founded with the Sammy people in mind If you are sincerely interested in the Samoyed breed, and want to have FUN, while learning at the same time, give us a call!
