This site has three parts:

• The family section is primarily pictures of the family members engaged in sports-related activities.
  
  
• The dog section is about Samoyeds and our kennel, and has a wealth of information about the breed, particularly useful to those new to dogs or to Samoyeds. It is quite extensive and complete, offering 35 pages of information and pictures and great links to other Samoyed sites.
  
  
• The youth soccer section is about the meaning of soccer to young people, particularly women, and about those who support and take part in the sport.
