Keona was born May 7, 2008, and crossed the Rainbow Bridge October 30, 2019. She exemplified the spirit of the Samoyed. She was outgoing, friendly, and carried on a conversation the best way she knew- howling! True to the breed Keona loved to work. She earned a master working title through the Samoyed Club of America. Keona participated in many activities. Her favorite were pet therapy and agility. She started her therapy dog career in 2010, just before her second birthday. She earned titles through the American Kennel Club in rally, obedience, agility and was recognized for her work as a therapy dog. Through the Samoyed Club of America she was recognized for her work in weight pulling, hiking, scootering, and bikejoring.
Did you know the Samoyed is one of the 14 ancient breeds most genetically similar to the wolf, but there is no mixture of wolf or fox running in the Samoyed strain!
