Meet the breeder

I'm Sunni S., the breeder behind Shoemaker Farm & Cavapoo Kennel located in Smithfield, UT. We thoughtfully prepare each puppy to become a confident, well-balanced family companion through empowerment—not enabling. Using ENS, ESI, and gentle handling, we build trust, resilience, and a strong foundation of love, respect, and confidence from the very beginning.

Q. & A. with Sunni

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always owned dogs and various other pets. We started Shoemaker Farm with 8 chickens and our sweet 2-year-old Cavapoo Bella. We desperately wanted to give her a playmate. She has the sweetest temperament and we wanted a carbon copy of her, so we decided to breed her so that we could have one of her puppies. We also wanted to give others the joy that we've received from having these pups.

  • What makes your program special?

    Health and temperament are our top priorities. We conduct thorough genetic and physical testing and go above and beyond with early training before your puppy comes home. Our program begins with happy, well-tempered parents—carefully chosen as exceptional Cavapoo examples— healthy parents produce healthy, well-balanced puppies. We stand behind our puppies with a two-year genetic health guarantee.

  • 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 black and white, red, blenheim, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
