SAMBO
This is Sambo's story she is owned by Herman Bres they both live in Holland.
Why I wanted a SBT: after playing football many years i wanted to stay active, some friends of mine have a SBT, they felt i also wanted that dog, after much information, help and advise march 1994 i bought female Kelly, red with a white breast and almost 7 months old, immediately I started a puppy- and obedience course, Kelly was very kind to children and people, to other dogs she often grumbled, but never fought, rather Kelly was only with people or children. After Kelly, my first female SBT and died in august 2001, I would wait a time to take a SBT. But friends of mine were sure that I was willing, after some months, a SBT again.
The first week of September 2001 I was called by a friend and told me he had bought a pup (male), the breeder had 4 pups. I was very interested, in spite of the memory to Kelly, and I bought Sambo. She was born 12-07-2001. Sambo was daughter of male Ringerike Viking Victory and female Djengis, two very kind SBTs. She is streamlined with a white breast and on her feet small white spots, her weight is 20 kilo. Another friend of mine, a dog instructor, advised me to take Sambo along to our club. We exercise obedience and agility. For Sambo the pup was a meeting with the dogs of the club very important for socialising. So the next 5 months every Monday night i took her along to our club only for socialising. Slowly I started some easy exercises.
There are many opportunities and possibilities to make a fine dog> When I walk I always do some exercises. When weather is nice we take Sambo to the beach and she swims with us. When i am cycling I put her in a plastic crate at the back of my bike. Often we go into the woods with some friends were the dogs can play and run, but also doing some exercises. Every Monday night I visit our dogclub, from 19.00 till 20.30 we train obedience and agility with various breeds.
Also round about our house Sambo often meets children and many people, she loves them very much and likes to play with them, when we visit family or friends. Most of them ask us to take Sambo along.
She is very kind to other dogs and with most of them she wants to play and run.
Sambo is a clever dog, every Monday she is very restless because she knows it is training night. Without we have said, she knows many names of friends and family, she knows the sound of the car - and bus engine when it is coming.
Sambo is a very sociable dog who is member of our family, like the Kinks sing: "Misses Pleasant".
