About Us
SnoFyre started out as a desire to share my life with a dog in 2001. I previously had lightly shown Samoyeds in the early 90's and had a love for the Spitz Breeds. After researching for many months the different requirements for the breeds I decided on a Siberian Husky as they would suit my active lifestyle. Months passed and I still had no dog as it never seemed the right time.
In 2003 saw a move to a new location on the Central Coast five days before Xmas. Little did I know what Xmas would bring that year. A friend had come to visit on Xmas day and asked if I could look after a dog he had rescued the week before, while his new house was being built.
What arrived later in the day was heart wrenching. A 13 month old, emaciated and very frightened female Siberian. Misty had come into my life.
Patience was the keyword with this girl as she built trust with me and I exposed her to new experiences. Going to the beach, local football matches etc, until she realised that not everybody wanted to mistreat her. It was a long road and well worth the time and effort. Always looking for new experiences for Misty, I started conformation shows with her in early 2005 and was instantly hooked again.
Sanji, Ch Anyka HauntedBy Desire, joined me in September 2005 from Anyka Kennels and was my first real "show dog". I showed a number of different Siberian Huskies over the next few years & on a trip to Victoria, met some Lapphunds from Janoby kennels.
My first reaction was that the Finnish Lapphunds had the large coat like a Samoyed that I loved and even more striking markings than the Siberian Huskie.
I made tentave enquiries about the breed with Theldaroy Kennels after seeing the Artificial Insemination litter they had coming up and researched the standard, spent many long nights looking at the breed in their home country and what was considered a "typical" Finnish Lapphund and finally asked for a male puppy from the NV litter when they were born.
In April 2007 at nearly 3 months old, Magnus- Gr Ch Theldaroy Green with NV (AI) entered my home and my heart.
SnoFyre Kennels sometimes has puppies available when I want something for myself and am happy to refer serious enquiries to reputable breeders if I have nothing at the time. All our pups will be raised and socialised in our home and we will only let our puppies go to loving homes where they will be part of the family. Our aim is to produce sound dogs with excellent temperaments.
