I'm the breeder behind Cot’N Pic’N Samoyeds located in Maryland. I am always seeking to breed the best to the best. I take pride in producing high-quality dogs. I consider it my responsibility to place the right puppy with the right family whether as a future show dog or lifelong companion. These dogs have brought me so much joy. I love them so much and know you will too!
About Marjorie
I started with my first Samoyed in 1968. He was a son of the top show dogs of his day. However, I was only interested in a pet that met my personal standards. I was busy riding and eventually breeding horses for the next 20 years. I finally bought a Samoyed female with a contract that required that she be shown. That is how the show bug got started and that lead to becoming a breeder.

Marjorie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Marjorie offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Marjorie directly.
Puppies live in my house and I am with them 24/7. As they grow, they receive regular, daily handling. They are well started on house training by the time they leave me. As a multiple dog household and grandparent, they experience all the regular sights and sounds of a home environment. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Household Desensitization and Potty Training.
Puppies are routinely dewormed every 2 weeks. I administer distemper and parvovirus vaccinations at 9 and 13 weeks. We discuss all the risks and benefits of additional vaccinations. Also, buyers are made aware of the value of titer testing. Puppies receive a pre-purchase vet exam including a heart check. All breeding stock has health clearances for hips and eyes.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Cot’N Pic’N Samoyeds hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Marjorie offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Marjorie started breeding
The female that I bought turned out to be an excellent breeding prospect. With much encouragement from fellow Samoyed lovers, I agreed to breed her. Eventually, she became the Top Brood Bitch for the Samoyed Club of America in about 1998. Through her, I discovered a love of breeding dogs as well as horses.
