Meet the breeder
I'm Tami S., the breeder behind Smith Family Doodles located in Portland, OR. We’re a boutique, family-centered program intentionally focused on raising healthy, well-tempered companions. Our program is thoughtfully designed with a health-first, temperament-focused approach—combining early socialization, intentional matching, and a hands-on home environment to nurture confident, adaptable puppies. As a GOLD Level GANA Breeder, we prioritize comprehensive health testing, responsible breeding, and ongoing education within both our program and the Goldendoodle community. Our parent dogs are fully health tested and certified through OFA and Embark genetics—each puppy also receives genetic screening to support a healthy start in life. We believe strongly in transparency—our health testing is fully documented and always available for families to review. 📸 Pictured: These are my wonderful kids with Coco when she was just a puppy 🐶.
Q. & A. with Tami
Why did you start breeding?
Our journey began with our own beloved Goldendoodle, Coco, who quickly became the heart of our family. We fell in love with her joyful temperament, intelligence, and affectionate nature—and the way she brought connection, calm, and happiness into our home. As we learned more about responsible breeding and the importance of health and temperament, what began as a love for one dog grew into a deeper calling to do things the right way. We set out to thoughtfully build a small, intentional program—one centered on raising and matching puppies who carry those same qualities into the families they join. Today, every decision we make is rooted in health, temperament, and long-term well-being, with the goal of raising confident, adaptable companions that truly become part of the family.What makes your program special?
We prioritize comprehensive health testing, in-home raising, early neurological stimulation, and thoughtful, temperament-based matching. Each puppy receives individual attention, early training foundations, and meaningful socialization from the very beginning. We intentionally produce limited litters so we can focus on quality, connection, and guiding families through a well-supported transition. Our goal is to raise confident, adaptable companions that don’t just join a home—but truly become part of the family.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include petite, miniature, and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Tami
Tami 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.
Tami 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 6 weeks old.
“We thoughtfully match families to the litter as a whole before guiding individual puppy placement. Reservations secure placement order, and final matches are made once temperament can be properly assessed (typically around 7–8 weeks). We prioritize health, temperament, size range, and overall lifestyle fit to ensure long-term success for both the puppy and the family. In-person visits are reserved for families who have placed a deposit, with virtual introductions available beforehand.”
Price
“Includes a 2 year warranty for life-inhibiting genetic defects, full Embark DNA panel, microchipping, first round of vaccinations, deworming, socialization, a solid start on training and a packed puppy starter kit. Deposits are required to reserve a puppy (order received determines order of placement). If for some reason a litter doesn’t work out, we’ll forward the deposit to future litter.”
Contract & health guarantee
Tami 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 Tami 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 Tami directly.

Litter and program updates

Litter update on 20 July •…Coco’s puppies are already 4½ weeks old! 🐶💛. Every day brings something new! They’re confidently walking, playing together, exploring their surroundings, and their sweet little personalities are blossoming. This week we also introduced a grass potty mat as they begin learning the very first basics of potty training. You’ll also hear birds chirping in the background—we regularly expose our puppies to everyday neighborhood sounds like birds, lawn mowers, passing cars, and barking dogs as part of their early socialization. These positive early experiences help build confident puppies and can reduce fear and reactivity as they grow. We’re having so much fun watching these little ones discover the world! 🥰

Litter update on 05 Apr •…Working hard… or hardly working? 😄🐾. Lunessa takes her role very seriously as my assistant — until she falls asleep mid-shift on the keyboard. Moments like this are a big part of how our puppies are raised — in a home filled with connection, calm, and everyday life.

Program update on 30 Mar •…✨ Gold-Level Announcement We’re so excited to share that Smith Family Doodles is now a Gold-Level Breeder with GANA (Goldendoodle Association of North America). 🐾✨ This has been a meaningful milestone for our program — one that reflects the time, care, and intention we’ve put into building a breeding program centered on health, temperament, and long-term wellbeing. Every dog in our program is thoughtfully selected and undergoes extensive health testing, including genetic screening and OFA evaluations. Becoming a Gold-level breeder means meeting the highest standards set by GANA, and we’re honored to be part of a community that prioritizes ethical, responsible breeding. More than anything, this step reinforces what has always mattered most to us: raising puppies who are not only beautiful, but deeply well-matched companions for the families they join. We’re incredibly grateful for the families who have trusted us, supported us, and grown with us along the way. 💛 — Tami Smith Family Doodles 🐾 Tigard, Oregon

About Coco
Coco is the heart of our program and the reason Smith Family Doodles began. She’s an affectionate, soulful girl with extraordinary intuition — the kind of dog who always seems to know how you’re feeling and shows up with quiet comfort, playful joy, or gentle companionship just when you need it. Coco is gentle with children, eager to connect, and happiest when she’s near her people. Her loving presence and steady temperament have made her a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog, and she’s passed those same qualities on to each of her puppies. In addition to being a beloved family dog, Coco is also trained as a part-time service dog. She performs therapeutic tasks like deep pressure therapy (DPT), grounding, and transition support, and has offered meaningful emotional regulation and comfort for both adults and children in our home — including those on the autism spectrum. Her calm, loving temperament and natural sensitivity make her both an ideal support dog and a truly cherished member of our family. As both a family dog and a mother, Coco is loving, loyal, and full of heart. She consistently passes down her calm temperament, joyful spirit, and emotional attunement to her puppies. We feel incredibly lucky to have her as the foundation of our program and are proud to share her legacy — and her one-of-a-kind magic — with other families through the next generation of Smith Doodles.

Goldendoodle
About Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a bright, affectionate girl with a calm, intuitive nature and a playful spark. She’s incredibly gentle with kids, eager to please, and loves being part of the action — whether it’s a quiet cuddle or a backyard adventure. We’ve been so impressed with how she’s matured and settled in, and she’s become a beloved part of both our home and future program. Cinnamon brings together the best of both worlds: sweet, soulful companionship and joyful energy. Cinnamon is a Smith Doodles original, lovingly raised right here with us from birth. She’s the daughter of Coco and Teddy, two of our most affectionate, well-rounded dogs, and she’s inherited their calm, intuitive temperament and joyful spirit. We’re so excited to see her pass on her special magic to future Smith Doodle litters. Note: Cinnamon’s genetics are completely clear, and we’ll be uploading her official health certifications once she’s old enough for testing. Assuming all goes as expected, we’re planning her first litter for Fall 2026. Embark Profile: embk.me/smithdoodles_cinnamon

Kevin continues to amaze us each and every day. We've been married over 47 years and have never been without a dog in our lives. That being said, Kevin is the smartest, most lovable puppy we've ever encountered. We took him for a puppy trim at the groomer we have used for years with our other dogs and were greeted by "Kevin is very smart". Never heard that one before :). He is also very mellow in all social situations. We had a vacation planned long before coming to see Kevin at your home and we're going to wait for a latter litter. So glad we didn't. Only negative is we've actually considered not going on the cruise because we can't take him. We're going but that is level of impact he ha made on our lives. Anyone would be lucky to get one of Kevin's future siblings. You do a fantastic job!!!!

Nutmeg came home healthy, clearly well cared for and very loved, and we’re so grateful to Tami for giving her such a great start. Love love love the Smith Family Doodles! 💕
