About IDAHO HUNTING DOGS

At Idaho Hunting Dogs, our goal is to breed very conformationally correct GSP's that are also very birdy, and with loving personalities. Pups have TONS of natural instinct. All puppies are vet checked, current on shots by a licensed veterinarian, tails, dewclaws & worming done and pre-registered with AKC. Written Guarantee. Shipping available weather permitting. All of our dogs have had their hips certified by OFA and eyes certified by CERF. We take great pride in producing healthy happy puppies.

All of our puppies are born in the house and raised in the house to get them used to a home's general sights, sounds and chaos plus of course, lots of hugs and kisses. They are handled from the time they are born until they go to their new owners at 8 weeks. They are exposed to lots of different sounds, textures, and environments. These are definitely family dogs for the home that "turn on" in the field for an incredible hunting partner; however, we encourage some form of puppy social /obedience class for new puppies and their families. We don't raise "kennel" dogs. We have 7 GSP's and they all live in the house with us. They are like our children. Some people have lots of kids, we have 4-legged kids to bring enjoyment to our lives :)

All of our dogs are great in the field as well as outstanding family members.

  1. Fritz's father is a 2 time NFC as well as a Dual Chamption. His first 3 generations include: 2xNFC, DC Liebmeister Roll Tide, FC Northman's Dixieland Cody, CH Liebmeister Kiss My Fanny , Rusty Patch Of Staver SH with other proven hunting and show lines

  2. Dutchess, lines include FC AFC. Beier's Evolution, DC Hillhavens Hustler & DC Essers' Duke VD Wildburg plus many more.

  3. Madison is out of Northwood Mountain Kennel. her parents are DC/AFC Eagle Ridge Royal Magnitude MH and CH. NMK's Timeless Trilogy, MH. You won't find any better lines anywhere.

  4. Abby's lines include: Snip's Ticked Off SH, DC Hillhaven's Hustler, DC AFC Cebourns Erick Of Hustleberg JH, DC Apocalypse V Greif plus many more.

Don't miss out on one of these Dual Quality pups. Please visit our website for more information: www.IdahoHuntingDogs.com or call evenings 208-681-6127. Email: cheryl@idahohuntingdogs.com.

I would highly recommend Idaho Hunting Dogs (Cheryl and Mark Matthiesen) as your next stop for a GSP. I purchased "Diesel" from them 7 years ago and have been very happy with the quality of dogs they provide. I personally went to their kennel and it was not would you expect as a "kennel". The time the puppies touched the ground they are holding, caring, and socializing the pups in their home. It shows the work, care and love they put into their business/dogs. I am very happy with my hunting companion at home and in the field.
Thanks again Cheryl and Mark!

We got Farley a year ago, and I just returned from two consecutive weekends in So. Dakota pheasant hunting. She was a pleasure to watch. It was very exciting to observe her point,and retrieve her first bird. IHD were a pleasure to work with and look forward to another pup in the future.

My Dad and I have purchased two GSPs from Mark and Cheryl of Idaho Hunting Dogs. Both dogs have far exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mark and Cheryl were great about keeping us updated throughout the process; what to expect, how the pups were progressing, what we needed to do when we picked the pups up and everything else you may not know if you've never owned a puppy. We couldn't have asked for a better breeder to work with and will definitely go back to them when we purchase our next pup.

I can't express enough how happy we are with our German Short Hair pup from Idaho Hunting Dogs. Hunter is our first gsp and because of Mark and Cheryl at Idaho Hunting Dogs we will have many more from them in our life time. Not only is our dog a wonderful hunter, he's a wonderful family dog, and I believe that's because of how he began his life with Mark and Cheryl. He's perfect in every way and I would recommend their pup's over and over again.

Mark & Cheryl deliver as promised. Roscoe now 15 months old is all we could have wanted. He's our 3rd German Shorthair, but the first to stay indoors with us. He hunts hard & well, but is calm and obedient indoors. We attribute this to the breeding and socialization as a young pup before we received him. We highly recommend Mark & Cheryl who we found through this website.

We are very pleased with Achilles. He is very intelligent and was easy to train. He is very affectionate (typical of the breed) and aims to please. He has good hunting instinct and is a natural in the field.

We purchased a liver female German Shorthaired Pointer puppy, (Gisela) from Idaho Hunting Dogs late in 2009. The puppy was both beautiful and healthy when she landed at SeaTac Airport in Seattle. Our pup was fully supplied with food and emergency contact information when we picked her up from the terminal. Since that time she has grown into an intelligent dog and earned an AKC Junior Hunter Title at nine months of age. Our pup/dog is a family member with natural hunting abilities that have been easy to shape and develop into an excellent hunting companion in the field.
