Meet the breeder
I'm Donna C., the breeder behind Wintersong Samoyeds located in Albuquerque, NM. I have been breeding Samoyeds since 1999. I am a proud member of the Samoyed Club of America and the Denver Samoyed Association. We are home to champion Samoyeds, bred with attention to temperament, health, structure, and type.
Q. & A. with Donna
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first Samoyed as the perfect Christmas surprise in 1999. It was, by far, the best Christmas present I have ever received. Fancy is the foundation for Wintersong, and from there, I began breeding Samoyeds under the Wintersong name.What makes your program special?
I focus strongly on the very best temperaments. Every excellent dog begins with a great temperament. Next we work hard to try and breed the healthiest puppies. We do all the testing available to help prevent genetic disease and study pedigrees for any information we can gather. After that we look for the best structure and type to keep in the breeding program and send to show homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and biscuit and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
