While desperately trying to think of names for my 'G Litter', I saw an ad for a Dr. Suess book.  Could I?  Should I? Would I name a Rottweiler 'Green Eggs 'n Ham'?  (Ok, so I admit to getting carried away with that moment.)

Well, I did, and the response from the kids and adults who meet her has been tremendous.  Samantha always manages to put a smile on someone's face.

Introducing.... Samantha, or Sam I Am, or the 'Little Egg' as she is known in the local Toronto area parks!

I kept Samantha back as my 'pick bitch' from my Rand X PDQ litter (see pedigree below), until she was about 3-months old.  Margo and Rick had been waiting for a female puppy for awhile, and Sam would make a perfect addition to their home, and she did!  I never regret for one moment, placing Sam with the Martins.  She enjoys her visits with me, and I even take her Mom, PDQ and Uncle Donnie to see her.

Samantha is slowly maturing into a 'wonderbeast', (is that a Dr. Suessism?), and will be hitting the show ring later this year.
In the meantime, Sam keeps her owners, Margo & Rick M. quite busy.

In limited shows, Sam has placed Reserve Winners Bitch from the puppy class, VSP at her first sieger show, in addition to placements in the AKC show ring as well.
 

Keeping with the 'theme' of this page, I've included a recipe for 'Green Eggs and Ham'.  Remember, Sam's favourite dish is Green Eggs and Ham.  But be warned: Sam likes to share her Green Eggs and Ham with everyone...and she doesn't take NO for an answer! 

à la Sam-I-Am

Ingredients 

1-2 tablespoons of butter or margarine
4 slices of ham
8 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk 
1-2 drops of green food colouring
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper 

What You'll Need: 
Knife, medium-size mixing bowl, wire whisk or eggbeater, large frying pan, spatula, aluminum foil, serving plates

1.  Melt a teaspoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add sliced ham and brown until edges are slightly crisp. Remove the ham from the pan, cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.

2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Beat with a whisk until frothy. Then add 1-2 drops of green food coloring until you reach the desired shade of green. 

3. Heat a tablespoon of butter or margarine in a large frying pan over medium heat until the butter begins to sizzle. Then add the egg mixture to the pan. 

4. Stir the egg mixture with a spatula until the eggs are firm and not too runny. 

5. Transfer the eggs to individual plates. Garnish with a sprig of parsley. Add the ham prepared earlier. Serve with toast or warm rolls.
