Gina has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Gina partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
“Puppies are evaluated at 8 weeks of age. No puppies can be claimed until after my show dogs have been chosen. Then puppies are matched with people that have made a deposit.”

“Price includes AKC registration, health guarantee/contract, vet check w/vaccinations, multiple dewormings, microchip with pre-paid lifetime enrollment, opthamalogist check, collar & lead, food & puppy pack & lifetime breeder support.”
Gina 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 Gina 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 Gina directly.

Gina was excellent to work with. She responded very timely to messages. She was very upfront about everything. Answered all our questions! She made the process very easy. She even gave us very nice instructions and wonderful puppy basket to take home to get us started.

We had the absolute best experience with Gina. From the very beginning, she was in constant communication, answering every question with patience and care. She took the time to match us with the perfect puppy—calm, sweet, and exactly what we were looking for in temperament. When it was time to bring our puppy home, Gina went above and beyond. She sent us off with the most thoughtful care basket, filled with everything we could need to help him transition smoothly: a beautiful white pine leash and collar, food, treats, toys, a snuggle puppy, a blanket that smelled like his littermates, chews, probiotic, lick mat, poop bags, and even a flash drive with a training guide. She even showed us how to groom him properly, which made us feel so supported as new Samoyed parents. The moment we got on the road, we could tell how well-raised and well-socialized our puppy was. He was calm and perfect the entire 5-hour drive home—no crying, no accidents, no car sickness. Every time we stopped, he peed outside on the grass like a champ. Since then, he has continued to amaze us. He’s confident, gentle, friendly with both people and dogs, and so smart. His calm and sweet nature is a true reflection of Gina’s incredible care and dedication to her dogs. Gina is one of the kindest people we’ve met. She truly gives her whole heart to her family and her dogs, and it shows in everything she does. I felt supported every step of the way, and I know we’ll continue to stay in touch with her as our puppy grows. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better puppy. 1000/10 recommend Gina to anyone looking for a Samoyed breeder who is compassionate, understanding, and absolutely dedicated to raising amazing dogs.

A Wonderful Experience and a excellent Puppy I want to extend a sincere thank you to Gina for being such a thoughtful and dedicated breeder. Our new puppy has quickly become a beloved part of our family—he’s happy, healthy, and full of confidence. He’s brought so much joy to my three children, and it’s been heartwarming to see how naturally he connects with each of them. From the very beginning, Gina went above and beyond to make the entire experience a positive one. She welcomed us into her home, encouraged us to spend time with the puppies, and never rushed the process. She truly cared about helping us find the right fit for our family and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. Gina lived up to every promise and guarantee. We could tell she puts real love and care into her breeding—something that clearly shows in our pup’s temperament and health. Thank you, Gina, for giving us such a wonderful addition to our home. You helped make our happy household even happier. Warmly, James Zohoury

Gina made picking up Koda non-stressful. Being able to play/meet the puppies and finding the perfect match. It’s been 4 weeks, Koda has fit in with the family, the kiddos and Rowan his big brother, a golden retriever all play with Koda. He is a bundle of joy! Thank you Gina!

Gina was wonderful to work with. She was quick in her responses, and more than happy to share whatever knowledge she could. One of the things that I appreciated the most was her frequent updates and photos.
