Samoyed teams in Switzerland

A group of mushers from Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Sweden have formed a syndicate for the 
sportive Samoyed. They had their first group meeting in Switzerland in April of 2009.

Attending were 9 Sammy teams including the European Champion Sprint musher Ueli Gerber from 
Switzerland. On Saturday there were about 45 Samoyeds. Susann Kull, a breeder of Siberian Huskies 
and a judge, went over and discussed several of the Sammys that were present with the group.
