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 is incredibly knowledgeable and truly knows what he’s doing when it comes to raising these dogs. We brought home Pip (Brian) almost 5 months ago, and he’s now almost 7 months….and he has been the absolute best boy from day one. Our vet literally called him his “best patient,” which says everything. The night we picked him up, fireworks were going off and he didn’t even flinch. His temperament has been calm, confident, and so well-balanced since the start. He was unbelievably easy to potty train and crate train. Having raised two other puppies before, I can confidently say Pip has been the most well-behaved, adaptable, and brave puppy we’ve ever had. You can tell he was raised with intention, care, and proper early socialization. He brings so much joy into our home every single day, and we truly credit Justin for giving him such a strong foundation. We’re beyond grateful.

    Justin was just excellent. He always responds within a reasonable amount of time. He has helped me prepare for my puppy in every way and answered all of my many questions. My new pup is the sweetest little thing. Fits right in with my other dogs. I can tell she’s been well cared for.

    Justin went above and beyond with his communication from my initial inquiry. He's maintained this through Berkeley's pickup and since he's been in his new home. He gave great recommendations on things to get ahead of time from food, to educational resources and travel bag. He also checked in after 24 hours to see how things were going and has continued to appreciate my puppy updates. He really gives you the sense that he truly cares about each dog in their new homes which I love in a breeder. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with SunnySide!

    We brought our pup home just before Christmas and we could not be happier with our experience. From the very beginning it was clear that Justin cares about raising well-socialized, confident puppies. Our puppy settled into our home so smoothly and right away showed a calm, happy temperament. At his first vet visit, the doctor actually commented that he was showing all the signs of coming from a great breeder — he was calm and confident during the exam, comfortable being handled, and relaxed with new people. He allowed the vet to touch his paws, ears, and mouth without any fear or stress, which really says a lot about the way he was raised early on. Thank you, Justin!

    We had an outstanding experience with Justin, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care and professionalism he provided. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and guided us through every step of the process. He answered all of our questions with patience and clarity. His responsiveness made the experience smooth and reassuring, especially as first-time puppy parents. Our puppy arrived healthy, happy, and clearly very well cared for. Months later, he remains in excellent health and has one of the sweetest, most well‑behaved temperaments we could have hoped for—an obvious reflection of the thoughtful early training and socialization he received. He has truly become a beloved member of our family. We would wholeheartedly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a responsible and dedicated professional. His commitment to his dogs and to future owners is truly exceptional.
