White Valley Goldens
Meet the breeder
I'm Samanthia J., 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.
Q. & A. with Samanthia
Why did you start breeding?
It started out by looking for the ideal breed of dog for our young children, so I did a lot of research and settled on the Golden Retriever. I was hooked! That grew into a desire to want to produce quality family companion dogs. I've learned a lot over the years and the love for this breed is why I strive to produce the best quality puppies.What makes your 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.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
