Q. & A. with Marissa
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always been obsessed with Samoyeds. They are so beautiful and unique. I imported my first Samoyed from Russia from champion parents and wanted to bring that opportunity to the US for others! That is when I first decided to get into breeding.
What makes your program special?
I am so dedicated into doing it right. I imported my dogs from Russia from an amazing breeder. I only wanted to breed the highest quality. I have done all the required health testing and want my dogs to live their best lives. I will always be available to communicate with. I am always happy to answer questions and give advice. I would love for my puppies to grow up to be champions!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
