Aust Ch Snezhinka Czar Jazz,
Jazz, was the pup kept from Zsa's only litter. Jazz is a gentle, loving
boy who snores when he sleeps and nudges anyone for pats or bait
in their pockets at shows.
He is our big bear who would stay
inside 24 hours a day if he could and snooze. Never an excitable or
energetic dog, Jazz has won over hearts in all that he has done.
When Jazz was just 3 months old, Ray Dean the owner of Jazz's sire
Aust Gr Ch Amundsen Hot Pursuit, encouraged us to enter Jazz in his
first show. The first show was the NSW Samoyed Speciality Show in
Sydney where Jazz had a spectacular debut, picking up Baby Puppy in Show
from 7 babies. Jazz attained his Australian Champion Title while still
a Junior and went on to amass numerous BOB, BPOG, POG, JOG, IOG, Best of
Group and Consolation to Best in Show at All Breeds Championship Level.
With his exquisite head he also won almost every head stakes class he
entered during his show career. Jazz was only shown up until just over
the age of 3 years due to Jules' work commitments and therefore retired
well before his prime to a life of a couch potato.
His lovely nature lead him to being selected as a special Pets As
Therapy Dog in Melbourne where he reached the highest accreditation
which saw him plucked out of visiting nursing homes to visit the special
AIDS and Cancer wards of the Alfred Hospital. Since moving to Auckland,
Jazz has taken up the SPCA/St John Outreach Pets Therapy Programme and
is back visiting nursing homes to bring joy and brighten the day of the
residents.
Jazz has some quirky traits
such as loving to chase splashes from stones thrown into the waves,
hunting for finished toilet roll cores and craving spicy Indian or Thai
food. He doesn't get fazed by anything and is our solid rock to
depend upon and now Merlin's best mate.
