Nestled in the rugged Siskiyou Mountains is a small working kennel of Samoyeds. Our Samoyeds are powerful, athletic, beautiful examples of this hearty ancient breed of Arctic dog. Our dogs descend from a long line of champion show and top racing sled dogs.

Pacific Crest Samoyeds is populated by five spectacular dogs: Lightning, Nimbus, Dixie, Stormy and Riegel. Our kennel is owned by Linda von Hanneken and Paul Martin. We are located within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, in southern Oregon.
