Editorial Holding both the Championship and Open shows on the same
day was a first this year but hopefully everyone agreed it was a
long but thoroughly enjoyable day that worked really well, with
thanks to all those involved who kept everything happening.
We have just had our first of two Sammy Walks for the year.
Surprisingly the weather was really good and everyone seemed
to really enjoy it, dogs included, and lots of smiles greeted the
approaching group of white dogs (and one Dobermann!). Photos
will be in the next Sleigh Courier. Note we have another planned
for October, then we have the usual Snow Dogs Match in No-
vember and also, a new thing for us, the Pet Expo on the first
weekend of November in conjunction with the Spitz Breeds Club
(and possibly other clubs to be confirmed), held at Trentham
Racecourse.
As usual, if anyone has any relevant stories or articles for the
magazine please feel free to send them in. Also if you have any
photos of your Sammies that could be used to fill the magazine
or go with an article/story please feel free to send them to me
too! And as always, any ideas or offers to organise events and
fundraising are always wel-
come and much appreciated!

Over the years of starting up Samcare we seem to be becoming more known.
I get a lot more phone calls and emails asking for help to re-home their Samoyed or about Samoyeds that end up at the pound or SPCA.
Some of them are in the South Island or the Auckland/Waikato area, which I then contact the other Clubs/members in that area to see what we can work out between us.
Thank you to all the people that have tried to help.
I was a bit surprised and disappointed that in late May when I got a email and photo about a female Samoyed in the Hutt Pound, it was on death row because they could not find the owner.
The pound was shut and the only thing I had was the photo. So I emailed it to several breeders/owners asking for Help.
Some replies were very negative! Which is sad, when it does appear that this dog is lost.
Its microchip number was registered to a Wellington address and it was found in Wainuiomata.
Thank you to Lynne Barr for picking her up and doing the property check. It sounds like she now has a great home.
I have been lucky that I have had homes waiting for an older Samoyed, so we have not had to use Club funds to rescue Samoyeds, but I am always looking for homes.
It would also be helpful to have a list of foster homes in different areas or people that can visit their local pound.
If you can help in any way I would be pleased to hear from you.

Cutting-Edge Kiwi Canine Website is Global Phenomenon
http://www.doggelganger.co.nz/
More than 1.2 million people from 207 coun-
tries have logged onto a new website developed to
help rescue the thousands of dogs abandoned in New
Zealand every year.
The state-of-the-art Kiwi website, Doggel-
gänger, uses cutting-edge human to canine pairing
software to connect homeless dogs to their human
doubles.
Developed by facial recognition experts NEC,
the software is being used by the Pedigree Adoption
Drive Charitable Trust in this year’s annual campaign,
which aims to give homeless dogs in New Zealand a
second chance at life.
The website has been visited more than 1.5
million times by over 1.2 million people in countries
including the United States, Taiwan, Brazil, Iraq and
Angola.
Pedigree marketing manager Oliver Downs
says the company is thrilled with the traffic to the
website to date.
“These statistics are unprecedented. The
website was only launched a few weeks ago and has
been averaging around 80,000 hits a day so we can
only hope that these numbers continue to
grow. However at the end of the day, our main goal is
that the Doggelgänger site connects homeless dogs
throughout the country with loving new homes,”
Downs says.
The development of Doggelgänger by NEC
follows a 2004 study by the University of California
San Diego that found when people look for a canine
companion, they look for one that resembles them-
selves. The study concluded that dogs are more likely
to be chosen by a person who shares similar features.
NEC’s Head of Research and Development
Glen Cameron says the core technology “NeoFace”
has been ranked* as the world’s most accurate at
comparing human to human faces.
The software is also used internationally in
applications such as anti-terrorism and automated
border control.
Cameron says the technology works by look-
ing for visual areas of similarity between browsers and
an abandoned canine looking for a home.
The Pedigree Adoption Drive Charitable Trust
is part of a global programme established by Pedigree
to help raise awareness and funds for desperate dogs
in local communities, helping to house, feed and care
for the unwanted canines. It is estimated that more
than 10,000 dogs are abandoned by their owners each
year in New Zealand.

tion Drive and Doggelgänger see:

Words from the judge - Gael Morison
Dear Anita
My thanks to the Samoyed Club for giving me the chance to judge your 2011 Champ Show. Such a pretty and glamorous breed, I enjoyed judging the Samoyeds albeit with an "All Rounder’s" eye.
Quality was excellent from puppies right through to veterans, grooming and presentation also of the highest standard.
Thanks also for the Sam towels, already in use!
Wishing the club all the very best for the future.
Kind regards Gael
Dear Simeon Well done on being a super efficient Show Manager for the Samoyed Club Inc 2011 Champ Show . Attention to detail en-sured smooth running of the show.
Generous sponsorship , trophies and floral displays made the arena look really special. Thanks for your kindness and hospi-tality... extra bonus for us to see Wellington by night .
I enjoyed my time with the Samoyeds, not a numerically large entry but certainly all dogs of the highest quality . Wishing you many more super shows
Kind regards
Gael (& Les)
