Southern Roux Samoyeds

Jessi S.

Breeder of Samoyeds

Meet the breeder

I'm Jessi S., the breeder behind Southern Roux Samoyeds located in Lafayette, LA. Growing up, my family bred Akitas, which sparked my lifelong passion for responsible breeding. My passion deepened when I welcomed Kaya, my Samoyed, into my life. Her exceptional temperament and friendliness made me fall in love with the Samoyed breed and inspired me to start Southern Roux. In our program, we carefully select dogs that reflect the breed’s classic look to produce puppies with fluffy white coats, expressive faces, and strong, balanced builds. All breeding dogs are from champion bloodlines and undergo comprehensive health testing. Puppies are raised in our home as family. Follow our socials to learn more!

Q. & A. with Jessi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My family bred Akitas growing up. I loved the whole process and caring for the puppies. Akitas are a bit more aggressive than I am comfortable with, so I found the Samoyed breed. Their friendly spirits fit my personality perfectly, so I have always had a dream of starting a small Samoyed program to carry on the family tradition and utilize my passion for dogs in a way that I can share with others.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our dogs are raised in home as family. We use science-based methods, such as Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), and desensitization exercises to promote emotional resilience and prepare puppies for diverse environments. We follow the Misty Method for early life potty training. We perform aptitude testing on our puppies to help fit them with the right home.

  • 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.
