Meet the breeder
I'm Nichole V., the breeder behind The Floof Brigade located in Stanwood, WA. Hi! We’re Nichole and Daniel, two friend who have teamed up to bring beautiful samoyeds to the PNW. Raising each litter in our home with mom and dad present, enrichments activities, and new experiences to help every litter thrive and be a loving addition to their fur-ever homes!
Q. & A. with Nichole
Why did you start breeding?
I (Nichole) was first introduced to Samoyeds when Daniel brought home our Appa girl. I have learned so much about this breed and loved getting to know their amazing temperament and gentle nature. Daniel’s plan was always to breed Appa but we needed the right match. After one meeting with Archie we knew it was meant to be and brought him home. Their bond with each other made for the perfect family.What makes your program special?
We only have 1 male and 1 female in our home. Spacing litters 10mos to a year apart to allow for full recovery of our dam. Puppies are cared for around the clock receiving one on one enrichment activities and monitoring. Each puppy also receives a full wellness exam and 1st vaccines at 8 weeks. While this a longer lead time it helps pups become better adjusted when going to their new homes.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.

Litter update on 27 May •…Pup-date Week 6! Can you believe that these sweet babe are already a month and half old?! The puppies received their first bath and enjoy lots more outside time. They are growing like weeds and eating so well. We are now working on softened kibble and working our way up to dry kibble. The pups have also developed their personalities even more. Jolteon is our playful boy! Running and trying to tackle dad on the regular. He also enjoys playing with toys, specifically teething toys and his siblings tails! 😂 Flareon is our little lover! He loved to come up for pets and snuggling up with his siblings! He also was the first one to start trying to figure out our slide toy. He managed to wiggle his way between the steps and under the slide! Lol All the pup definitely enjoys wrestling, chasing mom and exploring all the places to crawl under outside.

Litter update on 12 May •…Pup-date Week 4! I cannot believe how quickly time is flying. Our sweet babies are now 4 weeks old and started the weaning process this last week. They already have eating out of a bowl down pat! Currently we are making a puppy purée/formula slurry for them to lick up and in the next two weeks will be transitioning them to kibble. It’s such an exciting them. The puppies also got a room upgrade! I hav rearranged their pen to be larger and incorporated a space for their water dish and added toys! Their current favorites are the soft ducky and bunny toys. We look forward to what this next week brings!

Litter update on 20 Apr •…Our sweet babies are one week old! This past week has flown by so fast, with all of the babes surpassing the 2lb mark! Momma is doing well too and has been in full mommy mode, caring for the babies. We also had a curious visitor, our cat Lulu came down for a peek. We also began our Early Neurological Simulation Exercises (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). Both of these early interactions promote neurological stimulation and increased senses.

Nichole was kind, honest, responsive and very understanding with me as a first time dog owner. She took her time to answer all my questions via a video chat before I made my decision to work with her, and helped the entire process feel smooth. She was incredibly responsive before and after taking our dog, Púca, home. I highly highly recommend The Floof Brigade!

We had a great experience with Nicole. She responded quickly to our questions. We adopted Rosie in June. We renamed her Pepper. She is an amazing puppy! She has confidence and a willingness to learn. And oh my goodness, she loves water. No sprinkler, hose, or pool is safe. We are so happy she’s part of our family. Nicole and her partner did an amazing job raising Pepper. She has no behavioral issues. She shines in obedience class. I’m so glad our paths crossed. We could not be happier with Pepper. She’s a perfect addition to our family. Thank you for all the love and care you gave Pepper as a puppy!
