In the Family
We can't keep them all! Whether they are co-owned, shown by their families, or simply carrying the KinleyRay name, we are so thankful for the people that invest in them, and help them shine. We never stop being involved with, incredibly proud of, and beyond grateful for the ones sent out into the world to represent KinleyRay. Watching our dogs succeed alongside the people who love them is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
"Ivy"
CH KinleyRay's Poison Kiss
Sire: CH Vanderbilt's Barefaced Lie "Kodiak"
Dam: GCH KinleyRay's Kiss My Sass "Quinn"
DOB: 7/20/24
Bred by: Chelsea Wood, Alyssa Allen, Heather Rondeau
Owned by: Heather Rondeau, Taylor Stapley, and Chelsea Wood
Ivy belongs to a MVP KinleyRay family. Heather and Taylor learned the ropes of dog shows with their first Sam from us, Quinn, and then were all in on being part of the breeding, whelping, and litter raising process. Our keeper from the Quinn X Kodiak litter was Ms. Ivy here, and she has been maturing so nicely with a few nice wins under her belt with Taylor on the end of the lead. We love her compact size with very nice bone, beautiful coat, rear angulation, jet black pigment, and an all-day sammy smile.
"Butter"
BISS GCHS Vanderbilt N' KinleyRay Butterf'lie Kisses

Butter has said "Hey, Look at ME!" since the day she was born. We are so grateful she found her way into a home where she's able to do what she loves best, rock the ring! Best in Specialty, Reserve Best in Show, and holding the #2 Samoyed ranking for many months is just a quick glimpse into her show career thus far. She is all things feminine Samoyed. Elegant and smoooth like Butter.
"Alora"
GCHB KinleyRay's Go Big or Go Nebula
Sire: CH Vanderbilt's Strike it Big "Mr. Big"
Dam: GCH White Shadow's Silver Lining "Sterling"

Alora was entrusted to the very capable hands of our now good friend, Eliza Wong with White Nebula Samoyeds, where she made her mark in the show ring and in the whelping box. Many group placements and and her kids are following quickly in her footsteps. She has passed on her "no bad days" temperament, and is enjoying retirement fully!

It's no doubt where Ivy and Butter got their show-stopper attitude, their mom! Quinn has been demanding attention from the jump, helped her owners learn all things dog show, and been bringing smiles every step of the way!
"Truly"

Truly was sibling #2 from our Howdy X Sterling litter that we had so much fun showing and learning all things dog show world, alongside her owner. She's a petite girl, but she has the personality of a giant!

#3, and the boy of the crew, Iorek has been a jack of all trades since the beginning. He finished easily, made the final cut in the breed at the 2022 national as a young dog, has dabbled in agility, and does all things outdoor with his favorite people. Kicksleds, hiking, camping, you name it. He is as sweet as can be. A lovely sized male with beautiful harsh silver coat, jet-black pigment and nice substance. His owners were also new to all things dog show, and we had so much fun working together to have him shine in and out of the ring.
