Welcome to Sandpoint Doodles, where three decades of experience meets a lifetime of passion. Nestled on ten beautiful acres in Sandpoint, Idaho—just 30 minutes south of the Canadian border—our home is more than just a place to live; it’s a premier training ground for the ultimate canine companions.
A 30-Year Legacy
For over 30 years, we have dedicated our lives to raising and training exceptional dogs. What started as a solo mission for our founder, Tanya, has grown into a true family-operated business. Today, Tanya works side-by-side with her adult children, ensuring that the wisdom of 30 years is blended with round-the-clock care.
More Than Just Breeders
While we are known for our beautiful, healthy puppies, our expertise goes far deeper. We specialize in the high-level training required for Service Dogs and Therapy Dogs.

- Service Dogs: Custom-trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities (such as PTSD, Autism, or mobility needs).
- Therapy Dogs: Selected for their calm temperaments and trained to bring comfort and healing to their owner.
- Family Companions: Every puppy we raise benefits from this same professional foundation, resulting in intelligent, well-adjusted pets.
Our “No-Kennel” Philosophy
We don’t believe in employees or cold kennels. We believe in family and beds. Our dogs are raised in the heart of our home, under the watchful eyes of the people who love them most. This hands-on environment is why we are trusted nationwide and why our business is built on a foundation of glowing referrals from happy families and service handlers alike.
Why Sandpoint?
Our North Idaho location provides the perfect backdrop for raising hardy, versatile dogs. From playing in our famous Idaho snow to swimming in Lake Pend Oreille, our dogs are socialized in a world-class environment that prepares them for any adventure your life might hold.
