ABOUT NTSFI

North Texas Samoyed Fanciers, Inc. (NTSFI) was founded in 2002 by a group of individuals in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas metroplex who own and love Samoyed dogs.  Our membership quickly expanded, and today our membership represents more than 400 years of experience in the Samoyed breed! 

Photo by Sharon WilsonNTSFI received its 501(c)(4) (tax-exempt) status from the Internal Revenue Service on December 21, 2004.  We are also the AKC-affiliated Samoyed breed club for the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area, and we are working to complete the remainder of AKC's requirements to become a full-fledged AKC licensed club, with the ability to hold Samoyed specialty shows. So far, we have completed our "B" match requirements, with our first AKC-Sanctioned B/OB Match October 30, 2004, and our second AKC-Sanctioned B/OB Match on May 13, 2006.  (See the "Sanctioned Matches" page for more about these events.) We recently received notification from the AKC that we have been approved for "A" status, which means we can begin to hold the Sanctioned "A" Matches that will be the final step in the licensing process.  Once we are an AKC-licensed club, we will be able to hold regional specialty shows.

 

Also, NTSFI has been supporting the entries for the Ft. Worth Kennel Club and Texas Kennel Club shows.  Our last such supported entry, in the spring of 2006,  also included Puppy and Veterans Sweepstakes. 

The Club seeks to provide support, resources and activities for Samoyed owners with many diverse interests.  Our members are active participants in conformation, obedience, agility, utility and therapy, as well as "working dog" activities. 

One of our primary causes as a club is Samoyed rescue.  To that end, we assist and support North Texas Samoyed Rescue, Inc.  This 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation works to rescue and rehabilitate rescued Samoyeds, finding "forever homes" for them with loving families. Many NTSFI events, including garage sales, online auctions and raffles at our Sanctioned Matches, are held to benefit Samoyed rescue.  For more information about North Texas Samoyed Rescue, Inc., click here.

NTSFI monthly meetings are designed to provide education, fellowship and fun for our membership.  We have guest speakers such as veterinarians, nutritionists, behaviorists, grooming experts, pharmaceutical companies and more. Meetings are held on the first Friday of every month in the home of one of our members.  For more information about membership, or to attend the next meeting, please click here.
