[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Any advice on how to go about finding and contacting breeders who have adult dogs available? Is it just randomly emailing breeders or is there a better way?[/quote]

There is an excellent post by orangetangerine on the r/samoyeds reddit about how to reach out to a breeder and be taken seriously so they actually follow up with you. There is also one based on the C19 situation which is here https://www.reddit.com/r/samoyeds/comments/gm78vt/buying_a_samoyed_puppy_in_covid19_times_why_its/

My second thought is to look into more unusual breeds that are very similar to super common breeds. Usually these are the foundation stocks for them. There are plenty of rarer breeds whose breeders probably aren't getting swamped the way more mainstream breeds are. I'm thinking specifically of Otterhounds, French Spaniels (Espagneul Francais), more unusual retrievers, Shikoku, etc. In our case, we found that the foundation stock was actually a better fit than the original breed we'd been looking for because it married together all of the things we wanted that had been split in the resulting later breeds.

If you want an adult specifically, ask the breeder. They probably know everyone else and can put you in contact with someone who is looking to retire a dog soon but haven't been put up on the website yet. Usually they'll post them on their facebook first, though. [/quote]
