Meet the breeder
I'm Tami S., the breeder behind Smith Family Doodles located in Portland, OR. At Smith Family Doodles, our puppies are raised in-home and intentionally socialized from birth. We prioritize responsible breeding, comprehensive health testing, and early training foundations. Our focus is on health, temperament, and thoughtfully matching each puppy with the right family.
Q. & A. with Tami
Why did you start breeding?
Our journey began with our own beloved Goldendoodle, who quickly became the heart of our family. We fell in love with her joyful temperament, intelligence, and affectionate nature. As we learned more about responsible breeding, we felt called to thoughtfully build a small, intentional program — sharing those same qualities with other families in a responsible and structured way.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.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 to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
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 7 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
"The price includes the guarantee, microchipping, Embark DNA panel, first round of vaccinations, deworming, socialization, a solid start on training, and 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 update on 22 Dec 2025 •…Our sweet little “Orange” collared boy. So tiny and so precious. The “runts” of a litter are commonly overlooked… but they are often the most precious, loving, brave pups that are fiercely in-tune with their owners. IMO, never underestimate the magical heart of a runt puppy.

Litter update on 27 Nov 2025 •…We have Thanksgiving puppies! Coco just welcomed SEVEN beautiful, healthy Petite Goldendoodle puppies into the world this morning — born November 27th, right on schedule. ❤️ Mama Coco is doing wonderfully, and all seven puppies are thriving, nursing well, and settling in. We are so grateful for a smooth, peaceful delivery and can’t wait to watch these little ones grow over the coming weeks. We’ll begin reaching out to families on our waiting list soon, and we’ll share photos and individual puppy updates as they continue to develop. We do have a few adoption openings in this November litter — interested families can view the listing and apply directly through our Good Dog page. Congratulations Coco & Gio! 🐾💛

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

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.
