Meet the breeder

I'm Leslie C., the breeder behind Sunkissed Doodles located in Garden Grove, CA. We are a high quality, in-home breeding program for Goldendoodles and Bernedoodles. We breed on an advanced service dog curriculum, integrity, and optimal health. When you get a Sunkissed puppy, you get our support for life and a community that feels like family .

Q. & A. with Leslie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After getting my first Goldendoodle and witnessed the calming he brought to our adoptive son, I wanted to provide this to more families. Being a pediatric nurse, I have been able to combine that passion with my passion for Doodles.
  • What makes your program special?

    All of our dams and sires are raised indoors and in a family pet environment. Our Guardian homes that are raising our future breeders are held to the same high standard as we practice in our home. We love ALL of our dogs unconditionally and it is our main priority to maintain their happiness and health. All dogs will be health tested and clear before approved for breeding.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, chocolate, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Families who have reserved a puppy will be invited to our Meet & Pick Day, at 6wks of age, where they can spend time with the puppies and be matched up according to their established pick order and who has the best temperament that fits their lifestyle .”
