DOGS KNOW DOG LOVERS

MEET THE OWNERS

Lisa and Tim Crosby lived in Truckee, California, and raised their three sons, always having two Samoyeds, from 1992-to 2015. Tim grew up with Samoyeds in his big family with six siblings. Tim gave Lisa a Samoyed puppy after their engagement and so began their marriage and lifetime Samoyed ownership. Lisa and Tim have owned 9 Samoyeds for over 36 years before becoming a breeder in 2022.

Samoyeds are a family-friendly breed that loves an active lifestyle, the outdoors, and people, especially children! They were Lisa and Tim’s hiking and backcountry skiing companions and a big part of our camping trips and dog-friendly vacations.

Lisa’s career in Education included forming a nonprofit private school in Truckee and her dogs always came to the office. Their job was to comfort anyone upset and to play with the students during recess and lunch break. This job was a very important part of the school culture. Fast forward to 2016, when Lisa began her current endeavor Academic Transformations, as a literacy and math specialist and education consultant. The dogs helped struggling students as well as traumatized children with educational challenges. Samoyeds are a way of life in the Crosby family and everywhere they go with these beautiful dogs they are breed ambassadors spreading smiles and happy feelings to all they meet.
