Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind White Valley Goldens located in Challis, ID. My first priority is health and temperament in our dogs. I have no more than two breeding females at a time so that I can focus on their care and health. Our puppies have always been healthy and happy. They display a confident and gentle attitude that I see in each of them as they grow.

Samanthia’s experience

  • About Samanthia

    I'm a wife and mother of two kids, (all grown up now). I love the country life. We own a farm which is a full-time job, and where my dogs have the room and freedom to run and play.

  • What makes Samanthia’s program special

    Our puppies are given individual attention every day. Puppies are introduced to the ENS program when three days old. We use the Puppy Culture Workbook with our puppies. Both parents have their OFA health clearances and genetic testing done to ensure the health of each litter.
