Meet the breeder

I'm Dana S., the breeder behind Pawsh Puppies located in Sacramento, CA. The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.

Q. & A. with Dana

Why did you start breeding?
My children gifted me Dixie, a Golden Retriever, in 2011. Soon after I added Tahoe, Sophie, and Misty. In 2023 I had a knee injury and had to downsize my program. That’s when I got Penny Lane the Cavapoo.
What makes your program special?
I raise my puppies in my home. I believe exposure to children of all ages is important to the development of a puppy. I have Grandchildren that come over often to interact with them.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had a great experience with Dana! She kept us updated with photos and was always easy to communicate with throughout the process. Even though we live far away, she was kind enough to meet us close to our home for pickup. Our Cavapoo Arthur has been healthy, happy, and incredibly easy to crate train and potty train, so Dana must have done a wonderful job giving him a great start. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy.

Dana was super helpful from first inquiry to even after bringing puppy home! Our little guy is healthy, happy and has made a wonderful new addition to our family. Thank you Dana!

We are beyond grateful to Dana at Pawsh Puppies for bringing Teddy, our sweet Cavapoo, into our lives! From the very beginning, Dana was incredibly informative, kind, and thorough—she made sure we had everything we needed to care for our new puppy with confidence. Her guidance covered everything from feeding to health essentials, and thanks to her, Teddy is thriving at 3 months old—happy, healthy, and full of personality. You can tell Dana truly cares about her pups and the families they go to. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our journey as puppy parents. Thank you, Dana, for helping Teddy find his way home!

We had such a positive experience with Dana! She kept us in the loop with how the puppies were doing and shared lots of photos and videos. We even got to go meet the puppies a week or two before bringing ours home. She got him used to sleeping in a crate and using a potty pad, so that went so smoothly for us once we brought him home. We are so grateful for all of the care she takes with the puppies and already can’t imagine our lives without Churro!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dana Sorino as Wil’s breeder. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, patient, and thoughtful — keeping me updated and making the entire transition process seamless. Bringing home a new puppy can feel overwhelming, but Dana’s care and guidance made it such a positive experience. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to have entrusted me with the greatest gift of all: my sweet Wil Moore. 🐾💛
