Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
I have loved Samoyeds since I was very young. A neighbor had one that I just fell in love with and swore one day I would have one! She I got my first male I fell even more in love with the breed. I started out breeding Siberian Husky’s in 2007 with my ex husband and then started Samoyeds on my own when we were divorced.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
