Evenstar's Bardic Tale

Bard was whelped on April 23, 2009. His sire is Ch. Wolf River's Heart of Mirrormere WS CGC TT and his dam is Ch. Wolf River's Evenstar. Bard is from the first litter bred at Evenstar Samoyeds, so he definitely holds a special place in our hearts! He was an extremely charismatic puppy right from the beginning, demanding to be noticed. He walks into a room and owns it - he has a ton of presence! On top of that he has great substance, movement and a very handsome head, so we have high hopes for his future in the show ring.

Bard's name is meant to evoke the image of the wandering storyteller and minstrel. Bards in both history and fiction shared current events and new stories as they traveled and served as oral historians and lorekeepers. In medieval times, Norse bards were called skalds and were very important and highly ranked in Norse society. This ties Bard's name in with Loki's a little bit, since Loki is named after a Norse god. If we wish to tie it in with Tolkien, like our kennel name, Bard was the man in the Hobbit that shot and killed the evil dragon Smaug. Tolkien perhaps referred to the Old English meaning of the word, "wise warrior", when thinking of Bard of Dale.
