Listen to: " Hard To Handle "
Music by
The Black Crowes
This was one of the finest outcross breedings of French's German Shepherds. Unfortunately, the litter resulted in a singleton - only one puppy. It is well known that puppies have the best chance for normal social development if they are allowed to be with their littermates, unless they are well socialized. This is our first singleton and following the advice of many breeders, we are over-socializing Samson. He is quite the spoiled puppy from all the attention he gets and we know he will turn out to be a great dog!
Knowing this was such a special puppy, we debated on what to name this puppy. We thought about naming him "Solo" or "Uno" but our family decided on "Samson." This biblical character was a very special one-of-a-kind person. Samson was the legendary Nazirite Israelite Warrior, Judge, and Divinely Inspired Leader; renowned for his prodigious strength derived from his uncut hair. In the Bible, Samson's mother, a peasant of the tribe of Dan at Zorah, near Jerusalem, was visited by an angel who told her that her son was to be a lifelong Nazirite, one dedicated to the special service of God.
So likewise in a somewhat similar analogy and in keeping with our dedicated commitment to donating a puppy from every litter whelped by our Champion Karma Carmella CGC, TC, CHIC, we are donating Samson through the SEAL Dog Foundation to a Special Operations veteran. This veteran and his family are committed to getting Samson titled, and will give us breeding rights to him if he passes all his health checks. After hearing the song "Hard To Handle" it was decided to incorporate this song in his name as well!
We sincerely thank Dr. Morton Goldfarb of
Beechbrook Kennels for this
breeding opportunity. Nino von Tronje was
chosen by us as a sire to strengthen and add vitality to our
"Total Dog" lines.
