Icer's story..... I was born in July of 1995, the second in a litter of 6. I knew I was a special little guy right from the beginning... my Mom says so and she would never lie to me! My breeders, Kent and Donna Dannen, are professional photographers. From the time I was very young I've had a camera stuck in my face, so in addition to being special, I'm also highly photogenic. This is my Polar Bear imitation! My Mom likes this picture of me so much, she had it put on one of her credit cards so now she can show it to all kinds of people who don't even ask to see it. It was taken when I was about 3 months old, not long after I came to live with my Mom. She continued the Dannen tradition of sticking a camera in my face at every possible opportunity When I was just a little guy, too young to be shown, my Mom took me to the National Specialty in Austin Texas. I couldn't believe how many samoyeds were there! It seemed like my Mom got really excited when her friends won these things she called trophies. I decided that if having other dogs winning could make Mom so happy that if *I* could win, she'd be even happier. And so I started winning stuff when I was just a little guy. In fact, I won my first championship points when I was just 9 months old. In 1996 when we went to Puyallup Washington for the National Specialty, I was old enough to show. Mom had told my Aunt Donna that she just wanted me to place in one class. Well! I showed them! Not only did I place in all three of my classes, I WON two of them! And I got Mom lots of beautiful trophies. Boom'r says I'm stupid because I didn't win anything I could eat, but I just wanted to make Mom happy. Food isn't everything although you'd never know it if you talked to Sasha or Boom'r. Last year was an exciting time for me. We went to Arizona in March. It was REALLY HOT especially for a winter dog like me. One Saturday I'm out with my Grandma, CH Tundra Winds Glacier Lily WSXM, pulling a sled and just six days later I'm in 98 degree weather. My names not 32 Degrz for no reason! Anyway, while we were in Arizona I won a major which made Mom really really happy. So the very next show, In Texas I won another major. The next show, in New Mexico I won another one and then the very next show, in Colorado, I finished my championship (and won Mom a great big beautiful blue and gold rosette). Now I get to put a CH in front of my name just like Sky and Boom'r and my Real Mom and Real Dad! Since finishing my championship I've been really busy winning a few Best of Breeds, helping my sister Boom'r raise her puppies, getting my Herding Instinct Certificate and learning to be real sled dog like my Real Mom and my Real Dad. Me and Boom'r and Koshare were in one race this year, we didn't win but we did finish which Mom says was just as important as winning. Hey you other sammie sled teams! Watch out for us WhiteStars next year! Hey! Guess what? You can now visit my Real Mom, Jenny, my Real Grandma, Glacie and my Real Sister and Brother, Nikki and Koshare at the Tundra Winds Team Homepage! And you can see my Real Dad, Boomer and my Real Sister, Skyrocket at the Chinookwind Home Page!
