Breed Ambassador / Education and Outreach

Mendel was invited to Barnes and Noble for story time to read the "Hero Finds His Path" book and to teach kids about show dogs.

First, we talked about Samoyeds and a little about showing.


We talked about the neat things Mendel can do, like pulling a sled.


After we read the story, the kids got to meet Mendel up close.



A number of parents contacted me (and my Mom, the public relations manager at the store) and told us that they were so glad they came.  Many of them had kids who were afraid or uneasy about dogs and they were shocked that their child was able to touch Mendel without fear.
