Welcome to Kursharn Samoyeds (NZ). We are a small family based kennel located in Christchurch New Zealand.

My (Julie) involvement in Samoyeds has been since 1992 after purchasing a very special girl very special girl (Ch Shobu Arina) for my mother's (Mary) birthday.

Mary's involvement goes back a little further than that, when my late father (Stephen Wells) purchased Mimoa Snow Prince back in 1959.   Unfortunately, Snow was killed by a train when only 18mths old. Two weeks later Aurora Sonia (Ex Ch Kalina Wanderer and Vonaika Zeeta) joined the family. Sonia had three litters under my parents Kennel name Kirchien.  Unfortunately, Mary can only remember two of the sires as this was a very long time ago (aha) but first to Ch Birchleigh Tzar then Ch Ruski Of Tsilma (please excuse spelling).  From that last litter, Tchita joined the family.  That is about where I officially come in as I was about 1yr old, Tchita was my companion for nine years - this was then followed a break of about 13 years without a Samoyed (Stephen was diagnosed with MS).
 
With the purchase of Ayla (Ch Shobu Arina), I was hooked into showing and breeding. So the parents kennel name was changed slightly and Kursharn Samoyeds was born.   Ayla was what has been described as a lemon as a brood bitch  but what we did get from her were some quality sams: Ch Kursharn Allisandra (By NZ Ch Novaskaya Lucky Blaze Imp UK); Ch Kursharn Q Czar (By Ch Aleksandr of Murmansk); and lastly  Ch Kursharn Sha Petruha and Ch Kursharn Sha Mashenka (By NZ Ch Moonsnow Shilo Imp Aust).
 
Allisandra was mated to her Granfather (Ch Skrownek Anachkov) to give us Ch Kursharn Babachka and Kursharn Barashnya.  Both these girls were then mated to Ch Moonsnow Shilo (Imp Aust) to give us Ch Kursharn Dyeshenka (from Babachka) and Ch Kursharn Nova Kaitlyn and Ch Kursharn Sha Mussek from Barashnya.  Allisandra was also leased by Skrownek Samoyeds and mated to Ch Skrownek Zhadanov to produce Ch Skrownek Shvokniev.  We then repeated the mating ourselves to produce Ch Kursharn Zenechka.

Ch Kursharn Dyeshenka was mated to Ch Shobu Baron Bragation (Ayla's brother) to give us Ch Kursharn Netasha Neta and Kursharn Aba  Nekasha.   Ch Kusharn Sha Mashenka was also leased by Skrownek to  produce Ch Skrownek Sev Kazeel and Ch Skrownek Sev Kazan from NZ Ch Sever Imperial Shah (Imp Aust).

The youngsters here are from Ch  Kursharn Zenechka and Ch Kursharn Sha Petruha born April 2003 - Kursharn Zeta Shonvee & Kursharn Zeta Shobastian.  The real babies of the famliy are Kursharn Sev Ariana and Kursharn Kaze Zhadan and Kursharn Kaze Zhelan At Sydjude.
 
Also residing here is Ch Zaminka Anastacia (Staci) (Sire A/NZ Ch Aldonza Strike Back (Imp Aust) and Ch Zaminka Strike it Lucky) and in 2006 we were  very pleased to have our first Import Jackson.
