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 do not raise "kennel" dogs. We have 6 GSP's and they all live in the house with us. They are like our children. Some people have many 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.
- Roscoe is a nice male with awesome style. He is put together very well. Roscoe is a direct son ofDC, VC, 2nd RU 2013 National WGDC Gambles Sam Man MH, VCX, UT PR I RDI.

Our dog Dottie is just over 2. She is my 4th GSP. I have loved all of my dogs but this one has completely stolen my family’s heart. She is an absolute princess around our house but a beast in the field. She can go all day a does everything you would ever want as a chukar or pheasant hunter. She also is the best inside home dog you would ever want. I wish I had 2 more of her right now. Absolutely recommend Cheryl as a breeder!!

I have owned a Idaho hunting dog for almost 2 years. She is a fantastic family dog, great hunting companion an incredible retriever. Cheryl was very easy to deal with and is cautious about the homes her dogs are going into. As a person that has owned 4 GSP’s I can tell you these dogs are very easy for the first time GSP owner.

We worked with Cheryl at Idaho Hunting Dogs for over a year as we set up and waited for the breeding of our choice. The entire experience was great. She was more than eager and very prepared to answer all of our questions. The manner in which the dogs and pups were cared for was absolutely superb.
Our 7 month old GSP, Pepper, shows strong hunting characteristics and has been the easiest pup to train that I have worked with. As a veterinarian with over 30 years of professional experience I feel qualified to rate this kennel as top rate.

I’ve gotten three German Shorthaired Pointers from IHD so far, first one 16 years ago, and 2 in the past 2 years. Everywhere I go everyone can’t believe how gorgeous, sweet, smart, and well bred they are. I have never found better dogs, or people to get my dogs from. True hunting genes, and these dogs can hunt!!! Cheryl is the best!!! Always there for advice, or a shoulder to cry on when the time comes. Definitely recommend her every time!!!!

Idaho Hunting Dogs is the best place to get your next forever friend and hunting partner. Their quality of pups comes from great breeding stock. Each dog is given love and great care, its not just a business, they are part of her family. We've relied on Cheryl's perfect pups for over 12 years. To show you how much we value her hunting dogs, we drive from Las Vegas to not only pick them out, but to enjoy her company and hospitality!
I highly recommend everyone who is looking for a German Shorthair Pointer to see for themselves the lengths they go to, making sure these dogs only go to homes that will care for them properly.
We just got Rosey from the August 2018 litter AND Rory from the December 2018 litter. We couldn't be more pleased!
They are phenomenal in stature, demeanor, and attitude. Our vet was so impressed with them, she asked for the name and phone number of our breeder!

Approximately 14 years ago, after searching countless German Shorthair breeder's, we chose to go with Mark and Cheryl owners of Idaho Hunting dogs. We chose them because their investment in breeding was deeper then making a buck, we felt a genuine love and passion for the dogs they bred. This was before the days of Facebook and the live feeds. But Cheryl and Mark kept us up to date, answered all questions and sent pictures as often as they could. Once our little one, Bretta was born, they continued to provide info on what to expect and how to blend Bretta into out family. Rather then flying out for our fur baby we chose to make the day drive because we had to meet these remarkable people. Bretta was an amazing dog. She was pointing and retrieving by six months. Followed by year's of living and breathing to hunt. She also provided a missing piece to our family. Unfortunately, Bretta has since passed on. It was an easy decision as to where we would get our next Shorthair. We could have chose the next town just 30 minutes away to get our next Shorthair but we were excited to make the trip to again see these remarkable people. This July will be our 2nd year with our fur baby Bella. She is gorgeous, black and white ticked. She loves our kids and watches birds from our bed with great anticipation. Any questions we have Cheryl promptly answers. As long as she is breeding Shorthairs, we will always without a second thought, only purchase this great breed from Idaho Hunting dogs. Thank you for years of memories and years of love with our fur babies.

We have a 14 month old GSP from Cheryl at Idaho Hunting Dogs. She is very knowledgeable of GSPs having been in the business several decades, and has excellent breeding stock. Our pup Finn has excellent temperament, a fantastic desire to hunt and works well with us. We highly recommend Cheryl as a breeder. Her dogs are excellent.

This is our first legit hunting dog and IHD's pedigree speaks for itself, but with Cheryl you get way more than that. She went above and beyond to keep us informed on our new pup through every stage. Our lil man came from Meg and Roscoe's 2/8/19 litter. He is a fire ball to say the least. LOL. We feel blessed to have this handsome we bred, quality GSP as the newest addition to our family.
I can't wait to see him turn on in the field. Thank you Cheryl.

An outstanding experience! I found Idaho Hunting Dogs online along with several other GSP breeders. After spending some time on their site, talking with Cheryl and Mark and watching the live puppy cam, I knew this was the breeder I wanted to go with. Their adult dogs are beautiful and well taken care of. The pups are born and raised in their house. The result is a well adjusted pup to all kinds of noises, floor types and people. My pup is five months old now and we couldn’t be happier. He was pointing pheasants at four months old. A very professional experience! If your looking for a great German Shorthair Pointer pup, Idaho Hunting Dogs is the way to go!

We have had Roscoe for seven years and he is a great hunter and pet. Roscoe is our third Short Hair but the first we've had in the house - and he has adapted well. He does great in the field; lots of endurance, a good nose, and steady on point. We highly recommend Cheryl and Mark if you are looking for a good Short Hair Pointer.
