Where it All Began

Long Run Samoyeds is located in Nine Mile Falls, Washington.  I am Moriah Jester, an entrepreneur, foster parent, and single mom.  I began Long Run Samoyeds in 2012 as a 14 year old with a passion for preservation dog breeding.  As the journey of life has weaved my path, my Samoyeds have been by my side the entire time.  I am now joined on this journey by the best little sidekick anyone could ask for and we are just two girls loving life and our dogs.

 

My journey began with Shasta, who was my first Samoyed and the foundation of my program.  The day we met is still a highlight of my life.  Finding her took time; I searched and read, learning everything I possibly could about each dog breed that I had considered owning.  Then I found them, the perfect dog, the Samoyed.  I stumbled upon the breed in one of my books.  When I began to research the breed more in-depth, I knew they were meant for me.

 

I took my time, visited Samoyeds, watched them at shows, and searched for my perfect puppy.  I was painfully particular in my search.  No exceptions would be made.  I searched long and hard, in an effort to locate success in a variety of venues.

 

Eventually, I found the perfect litter and was thrilled to be placed on the list for a puppy.  The parents had done it all - and that is where I got Shasta, my first Samoyed.  Shasta grew to be an amazing dog and more than I could have ever hoped for.  It is with her, that Long Run Samoyeds was begun.  Now we continue to grow and develop our program, with Shasta's spirit watching over the young dogs that will strive to carry on the Long Run name.  Please enjoy browsing the website and learning more about our endeavors with this remarkable breed.
