Meet the breeder

I'm Christina N., the breeder behind Sunshine Sanctuary Doodles located in Los Molinos Ca, CA. We love Doodles and love raising newborn puppies! We strive to raise well adjusted family pets. Raising puppies has been so much fun, although we take our role in raising them seriously. Breeding has helped us share the joy of our dogs with other families and individuals.

Q. & A. with Christina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bred my Cocker Spaniel during college. Years later, we rescued dogs, horses and other animals and saved a rare breed of Colonial Spanish horses from extinction. We loved breeding horses and raising many foals. We started raising Goldendoodles because some of our Sunshine kids and grandchildren have allergies to most dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    We love raising newborn puppies!!! We love our parent dogs. We love spoiling our momma dogs through every stage of pregnancy, delivery and motherhood. We love cuddling newborn puppies as they develop into well adjusted puppies. We enjoy the positive feedback and the great relationships we have with the puppy families. We just do what we truly love doing and that makes a great breeding program.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies include petite and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Goldendoodle puppies include cream, apricot, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Everything went very smoothly adopting our new petite 4 month old goldendoodle Cuddles. Christina was great to work with. She answered all my questions, and I had quite a few! We've had Cuddles 12 days now and she's settling in nicely.

    Christina was so nice and helpful from the start. She communicated well, shared pictures, and offered many tips. My puppy Cali has the best temperament and basically came trained to pee on a pad- whether intentional or not! She was amazing.

    Christina from Sunshine Sanctuary Doodles was simply the best. Being a senior, I had a specific temperament in mind for a new puppy in my life. Christina "got" my situation and suggested the perfect new puppy. She was intuitive to my life situation and was the perfect match-maker. Toby is everything I could imagine as a new life friend. He is bringing such joy and friendship into my life and he adores me. :)

    Christina was super helpful from the start! She is very passionate about these sweet dogs and is also very knowledgeable about their care. We love our little Chewie, he is everything she described him to be and more! I’m so thankful for Christina as this was our first time going through a breeder and she was so kind the whole time and sent us weekly updates as we eagerly awaited to bring our boy home.

    My experience with Christina from the start was the best! She is such a lovely person and I knew we were getting a special puppy. I met her at the airport and fell in love immediately with our little boy we've named Huckleberry! He is a dream and a joy to have in our family!!
