Meet the breeder
I'm Holly J., the breeder behind Happy Valley Sammies located in Salem, UT. Holly and Wayne are devoted to the health and care of their dogs and pups. Their dogs are their family and their pups are socialized every single day by themselves, their 3 young boy and others. Their goal is to make sure their puppies find their forever families and offer a lifetime of support.
Q. & A. with Holly
Why did you start breeding?
We have an unfortunate story about owning a dog who lost her vision and hearing due to Oculoskeletal Dysplasia 2. These issues could've been avoided had the breeder done health testing. After we looked into many local breeders and found none did the screenings. This inspired us to become a breeder who would preform health screening so other people might not experience the heartache we did.What makes your program special?
We are extremely family centered. Our puppies are raised around us, and our (human) children. All of our dogs are health tested and cleared of genetic defects. We also are devoted to providing support after our puppies leave our home. When you purchase from us, you become a part of our family!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Holly was totally amazing! Through out the entire process she has provided VIP service! Quick to reapond, provided all blood work, genetic testing for parents, AKC registry information,gave all shot and microchip paperwork. She provided me with toys, a blanky, our babies special food she likes and gave (and still has even after) many tips and tricks to take care of our new puppy. I will always refer her to anyone who is asking for Samoyed puppies because her puppies are potty trained and very friendly. We truly made the right decision by picking a breeder with many year of experience and having the pups raised around a family of kids was really important to us because we have three kids as well. She is located in UT but the flight nanny service she refered was affordable and our nany was amazing! VIP all the way with the both of them in constrant communication the entire time! Thank you to Holly and her family for raising such a sweet and beautiful Sami! We appreciate the hard work and dedication. We promise to love her and provide the best care for her entire life! Ty for making my dream come true! Ox
