Meet the breeder
I'm Taylor A., the breeder behind Desert Snow Samoyeds located in Erda, UT. We raise good natured, healthy puppies in a loving environment. Our puppies are socialized daily, and interact with children to become confident and friendly companions. They’re also introduced to grooming and car rides, and start basic potty-training to set them up for success.
Q. & A. with Taylor
Why did you start breeding?
I've always loved caring for animals since childhood and dreamed of raising puppies one day. As a mom of many, I enjoy nurturing little ones, and living on a 5-acre farm made breeding a natural way to share that experience with my kids.What makes your program special?
With plenty of space to roam and a house full of kids to socialize with the puppies, our setup provides the perfect environment for raising well-adjusted, happy dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We recently made the trip from Minnesota all the way to Utah to bring home our sweet puppy, Cota (red). From the very beginning, Taylor was nothing but kind, professional, and incredibly responsive. She made the entire process so easy and gave us complete confidence in our decision. Cota is everything we could have hoped for -healthy, well-tempered, and absolutely perfect. He has already brought so much joy into our lives and makes every day brighter. My fiancé and I are beyond grateful for Taylor's care and dedication, and we couldn't be happier with our newest family member.

+4We got our dog through Taylor, and the entire experience was seamless. Having always owned retrievers and goldendoodles, we weren't sure what to expect—but from the moment we brought Willow home, we knew we had found something special. Our little white fluff ball has truly exceeded every expectation. He was fully potty trained from day one, sleeps peacefully in his crate every night, and has the sweetest temperament. He’s amazing with children and absolutely adores our other dog. Willow is, without a doubt, the best dog we've ever had. He’s already brought so much joy into our lives, and we couldn't be happier with the newest addition to our family.

+4We are so grateful to Taylor at Desert Snow Samoyeds for our sweet boy, Anakin (formerly "Blue" from the litter). From the very beginning, Taylor was responsive, professional, and clearly passionate about her dogs. Communication through GoodDog was seamless with puppy progress photos after reservation, and she was always quick to reply—both before and after we brought Anakin home. Anakin has been an absolute joy. He settled into our home effortlessly, becoming fast friends with our Scottish Terrier and Schnauzer, and even getting along with our cats! His personality is as bright as his fluffy coat—curious, playful, and endlessly affectionate. He loves following us around, investigating everything, and has become an especially wonderful companion for my autistic daughter. It’s clear he was raised in a loving environment with plenty of socialization, which made his transition into our family smooth. Local pickup was convenient and Taylor made the process stress-free. Even after bringing Anakin home, she’s been helpful and supportive, answering any questions we’ve had. It’s obvious she truly cares about her dogs and wants them to thrive in their forever homes. We feel so lucky to have found Desert Snow Samoyeds and would highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a healthy, well-adjusted Samoyed puppy. Anakin has brought so much happiness into our lives, and we couldn’t have asked for a better breeder experience.
