Q. & A. with Justin

  • What makes your program special?

    We perform necessary health testing to ensure our parent dogs are great breeding animals before breeding takes place. Our puppies are raised in our home, in a family environment through the puppy culture method, and are introduced to Early Neurological Stimulation & Early Scent Introduction. We introduce new tactile, objects, courses, and noises so your puppies have a great startle response and are brave exploring the world. We set our puppies up for success! Feel free to visit our website or Instagram with the attached link.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Cavapoo puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Cockapoo puppies include tiny and mini sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Cavapoo puppies include apricot, tri-color, red, black and white, and black and tan. Cockapoo puppies include red, red and white, cream, buff, brown, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Justin has been such a pleasure to work with. He is so responsive and answers all my questions in a thorough, timely manner. I can tell he loves his dogs and I knew from the first message he was the breeder I wanted to work with. Not to mention his absolutely adorable puppies. We have had our dog for a little over a week. She could not be more cute and sweet. On top of her cuteness, we can tell she is so smart. She can already consistently sit, stay, come, and looks at us when we call her name. We are completely in love and would recommend SunnySide mini doodles to anyone looking for a Cavapoo. Thank you SunnySide for bringing our family so much joy!

    Working with Justin was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. He was always available to answer my questions about Leandro (aka Howie) and kept me updated with photos, videos, and even FaceTime calls. From our very first phone conversation, he was so informative—he explained in detail how he raises his Cavapoo puppies, their daily routines, and even provided information about their parents. On pickup day, Justin went above and beyond by bringing Leandro directly to my hotel before my flight home, saving me both time and money. He took the time to carefully go over Leandro’s schedule, vaccines, and all the important details, making sure I had no unanswered questions. He also reassured me that I could reach out anytime if I needed anything, which really shows the care he has for both his puppies and their new families. I can see the love and dedication Justin puts into raising his Cavapoos because Leandro is the sweetest, most affectionate, and well-mannered puppy. He’s already almost fully potty trained and has such a loving personality. If you’re looking for a Cavapoo, I cannot recommend Justin highly enough. He is truly amazing, and the joy little Leandro has brought into my life speaks volumes about the way he raises his puppies

    Justin made the experience of getting my new baby Alfie so smooth and easy, from the first conversation to the flight nanny bringing him to me at SFO. Alfie is such a calm, well-adjusted puppy - one of the sweetest I have ever had as a lifelong dog owner. He gets along well with his doggie cousins and kitty brother + sister. I am very excited to see Alfie grow up and continue to share his story with Justin!

    Justin was so incredible to work with. I recently left my job to work with my husband. One of my conditions for him was that I was going to get a lil dog so I would have a little buddy to come to work with me. My friend knew I was on the hunt and sent me a picture of the cutest little guy on Good Dog. I immediately fell in love and messaged Justin. He was so quick and responsive. He answered all my questions, and told me all about the baby boy that already had my heart. My friend and I were driving to Utah 3 days later to pick him up. You can tell Justin truly cares about all these little pups and only wants the best from them. He spent time instructing me on his vaccinations, temperament and how to take care of him. Justin starts them off with working on potty training and crate training and you can see his efforts reflected. Our new little guy, Charlie, has been with us for a few days now and has only had one accident! He is so sweet and well adjusted. We have goldens at home and he loves them. He was introduced to our nieces and nephews age ranging from 2-13. He was so sweet and patient with all of them. I owe all of that to Justin. He makes sure the puppies he is raising are all well adjusted. He has quickly responded to all my text questions, update pictures and even has been sending me all the amazon must haves to make Charlie the happiest little guy! That's how you know he cares so much. Charlie also made the 9 hour drive home with no accidents, whining or barking! What a good little guy!

    Justin was so quick to respond to my messages and even called me and we had a great conversation. He asked about our other dog to make sure that Bruno would be a good fit for our family!! He’s so perfect and seriously the cutest dog. He’s already been to the vet and has came back healthy. I highly recommend using Justin from SunnySide Mini Doodles. We had a great experience. He even has been checking in Bruno since we have had him.

    Justin has been so great! From the moment I messaged him the first time he's always been available when I reached out. My little Cavapoo, Charlie, has been with me for a little over a week now and he is an absolute dream. His potty and crate training are both so far along, and he's such a sweet, calm, happy companion. I'm so glad I went with Justin as a breeder, I highly recommend SunnySide Mini Doodles.
