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

    Our puppies include apricot, tri-color, red, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We had been looking for a Cavapoo to complete our family for quite some time, and when I came across Archie’s picture, I immediately felt like he was the one. Our experience with Justin at SunnySide Mini Doodles has been wonderful from start to finish. Justin is knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire process easy and comfortable. From the moment we met Archie, it was obvious that he had been well cared for and genuinely loved. He is such a sweet, happy, well-adjusted little puppy, and he has already brought so much joy to our family. We are so grateful we found Justin and SunnySide Mini Doodles and, most of all, that we found Archie. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to add a Doodle to their family.

    Justin was very helpful with helping to find our family the perfect puppy. He was very responsive and communicated well. I told him what I was looking for and he recommended our perfect boy. Our puppy came with a head start on crate training, and potty training which has been extremely helpful. We can’t thank Justin and good dog enough

    Justin was great at communicating with us, responsive and knowledgeable. We were able to Facetime to see our puppy and gave us very helpful information once we got her. Jessie is a gorgeous, sweet and happy puppy that came to complete our family!

    Here’s a more concise version that incorporates the follow-up: We had a wonderful experience working with Justin. He was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and knowledgeable, always answering my questions quickly and making the process easy. I especially appreciated the care and precautions he took to ensure the puppies were healthy and well cared for. I was undecided between two male puppies, and Justin helped me choose the one that would be the best fit for our family with three young children. He has been the perfect addition to our family and such a fun little guy. Justin also followed up after we brought him home to make sure he was adjusting well, which showed how much he genuinely cares about his puppies. Even our veterinarian commented on how thorough his vaccination records were and said they could tell the breeder had taken excellent care of him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Justin to anyone looking for a healthy, well-loved puppy.

    From the moment we brought Coco home at 8 weeks old, it was obvious she had been given an incredible start. She is now 5 months old, and we couldn't be happier with her. Within the first week, she was already using a bell to let us know she needed to go outside to potty. She has had fewer than 10 accidents in the house, which is remarkable for such a young puppy. She was also already comfortable with her crate and has been crate-trained for bedtime and naps from the beginning. It was clear she had already been introduced to routines that made the transition into our home so much easier. She is incredibly intelligent and eager to learn. At just 5 months old, she already knows sit, down, stay, place, touch, middle, and roll over, and she's currently learning leave it. She loves to learn and picks up new skills so quickly. Beyond being smart, she has the sweetest temperament. She absolutely loves car rides, is confident in new environments, and genuinely loves every person she meets. She is friendly, affectionate, and a joy to have as part of our family. Coco is also a beautiful example of the Cavapoo breed. She's well-proportioned, athletic, and has a gorgeous coat. We've had multiple people, including veterinary staff, comment on how beautiful a puppy she is. Looking back, it's easy to see how much care and thought went into raising these puppies before they ever went home. The early socialization, training foundation, and attention to temperament have made such a difference. We are incredibly grateful for our wonderful puppy and would wholeheartedly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a healthy, well-adjusted, intelligent, and loving companion.
