Meet Sara — Breeder behind Country Lane Doodles
Hello, I'm Sara, the breeder behind Country Lane Doodles located in Erda, UT. We are dedicated to raising top-quality family puppies in a loving, home-based environment. Our puppies are raised as part of our family, receiving daily handling, early socialization, and plenty of affection to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions.
Health and temperament are our highest priorities. Our breeding dogs are health tested and carefully selected for stable temperaments, sound structure, and overall wellness. They undergo genetic health testing to help ensure we are producing the healthiest puppies possible.
We follow responsible, ethical breeding practices and make informed decisions with the long-term well-being of the puppies in mind. Our puppies receive age-appropriate veterinary care, are raised on a proper health schedule, and are provided with quality nutrition in a clean, safe environment.
From birth, they are introduced to normal household sights, sounds, and routines to support healthy development and an easy transition into their new homes. We believe early experiences matter and take great care in preparing our puppies for life as cherished family members.
Our goal is to place each puppy with a loving, responsible family where they can thrive as a lifelong companion. We are committed to transparency, education, and ongoing support for our puppy families and welcome open communication throughout the adoption process.

Why I Became an Ethical Dog Breeder
My journey into breeding grew naturally out of my lifelong love for dogs and my desire to raise them the right way. After years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital and raising dogs as part of my own family, I became increasingly passionate about health, temperament, and responsible care.
As my children grew and our family entered a new season of life, I found myself with the time, space, and dedication to focus on raising puppies intentionally and ethically. Living in the country gave us the ideal environment to provide our dogs with room to play, proper care, and a calm, structured setting.
Breeding allowed me to combine my experience, love for dogs, and commitment to family values. I chose to pursue responsible breeding practices, including genetic health testing and careful pairing, to help ensure each puppy has the best possible start in life. My goal has always been to raise healthy, well-adjusted puppies and place them into loving homes where they can thrive as lifelong companions.
