Meet the breeder
I'm Melissa W., the breeder behind T&M Samoyeds located in Colorado Springs, CO. I started breeding Samoyeds in 2004 with my mother, who owns Better's Samoyeds, and have always strived to produce happy, healthy Samoyeds with sound structure and great drive to do what they were bred to do. In 2019 I started showing my Samoyeds in AKC conformation and performance events.
Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up on a small farm breeding, raising, and training horses, pigs, and dogs. I have always been an animal lover and love working/ training them. My Samoyed breeding program started out as an FFA project that continued into my adult life. I now compete with my dogs in multiple AKC events and recreational working dog events.What makes your program special?
I love the Samoyed as a working dog and strive to keep that drive within my line. I live in Colorado Springs and take my dogs to multiple parks, restaurants, and stores, so they are well socialized. My adult dogs also enjoy therapy work, skijoring, snowshoeing, and sledding when they are not at a AKC show. I strive to produce healthy puppies and make sure all my dogs have OFA CHIC numbers.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
