"We couldn't be happier with our experience! The breeder was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to raise our puppy with love and affection. The communication was excellent throughout the process, with regular updates, pictures, and videos that made us feel connected every step of the way. The process was smooth and easy, and now we have the most incredible puppy who is a true testament to the breeder's care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-loved and well-cared-for puppy!"

"Justin was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was communicative and provided all the information that I requested. Justin sent photo updates of my puppy and it was easy to arrange the adoption as well. One year later and we are still so thrilled with our sweet dog that we got from Justin. I would definitely recommend working with Justin!"

Composto

"Justin was so incredible to work with. 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 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."

Desjardins

"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!"

Filipski

"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!"

Frank Family

"Last year, I brought home Lucky — one of Justin’s gorgeous deep red F1 Cavapoos — and I truly couldn’t be happier. From the moment we met him, we knew he was special. Lucky is affectionate, loving, and strikingly beautiful, with his four little white socks, broad tuxedo chest, and perfect blaze. Justin thoughtfully guided me through every detail — from temperament and size expectations to the strength of Lucky’s elevated genetics. What I didn’t expect was just how deeply he would steal our hearts. Lucky has become the sweetest emotional support dog for our family, and we love him dearly. I wholeheartedly recommend SunnySide Mini Doodles to anyone searching for exceptional genetics, plush coats, and truly outstanding temperaments — and a breeder who feels more like a friend than just a transaction."

Green

"We are absolutely in love with our new puppy, Nikki (formerly Envy)! She has settled into our home so easily, joining our two Australian Shepherds, Jax (8) and Cash (4), and it’s like she’s always been part of the pack. Her sweet, playful nature complements their energy, and it’s clear that she was so well taken care of and loved before joining our family, which made the transition incredibly smooth. Nikki is full of curiosity and affection, and her well-behaved, happy demeanor is a testament to the wonderful care Justin and family put into raising her. Justin made the entire process easy and stress-free, from the initial communication to bringing Nikki home. We highly recommend Justin & Sunnyside Mini Doodles to anyone looking for a new furry friend—his dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for his dogs are evident in every aspect of the experience."

Henry

"Justin at SunnySide Mini Doodles is the best. I reached out to him after doing a ton of research on breeders. This time I wanted to make sure we worked with an ethical breeder whose parent dogs had OFA and genetic testing. We got that, and more, with Justin. He's caring, thoughtful, nurturing, and an absolute joy to work with. When I asked to see the test results for the mom and dad of the litter we were interested in, Justin sent me everything within minutes. All the testing was up to date and excellent. Justin offered to do a facetime with us so that we could see the puppies, and it was clear that they get tons of love. We chose a beautiful girl, who we named Suki, and Justin sent us lots of updates and pictures while we were waiting to bring her home. She transitioned to our home beautifully and is perfect in every way. Cavapoos generally have excellent temperaments, but hers is outstanding. She was well socialized with other dogs and people. Suki is almost a year old now, and not a day goes by without one of us saying how grateful we are to have found Justin and Suki. Justin is truly special, and his puppies are too. We can't wait to bring home our second SunnySide cavapoo this September!!!"

Hutchison

"We researched a lot of different breeders when we were looking for our Cavapoo puppies. Justin with SunnySide Mini Doodles kept us informed from the time they were conceived up until we took our puppies home. He is very knowledgeable and always so quick to answer any of our questions that came up. You can tell he truly loves his puppies. We will definitely be going back when we are ready for our next Cavapoo and currently have 2 Cavapoos from SunnySide Mini Doodles."

-Hutchison Family

Jensen

"I bought a Cockapoo puppy from Justin in 2021. She’s 4 years old now and the best dog I’ve ever had. She has the perfect temperament. She keeps up well on long hikes, but also loves snuggling up on the couch. She’s gentle with kids, and good with other dogs. The vet is always impressed with how healthy she is. When I was adopting my puppy, Justin was very responsive and sent several pictures and videos to update me on her progress. When I picked her up, she came with a folder full of information about her, and how to take care of her. When I’m looking for my next puppy, I will definitely come to Justin again."

-Jensen Family

Jones

"We had such an amazing experience with Justin at SunnySide Mini Doodles that we became a returning family! After months of research in breeders and asking ridiculous amounts of questions, SunnySide and a Cavapoo just felt like the right fit for our family. From beginning to end, Justin walked us through the entire process. You know he truly cares about the placement of his puppies because he follows up to make sure everyone is happy and adjusting well. We first adopted our girl Daisy (formerly Rose) from the "Flower" litter in 2023. She had an amazing temperament and was already familiar with her crate and potty training. She quickly settled into our home and our hearts. In 2024, after following SunnySide’s Reindeer litter, we knew that we had room in our hearts for 1 more sweet Cavapoo. This time we adopted Ziggy (Formerly Blitzen). His sweet and mellow personality again stole our hearts. We've had our Cavapoos for a couple of years now and they continue to bring so much joy to our family. Everyone that comes into our home falls in love and I am always quick to recommend that I know a good breeder if they are interested. I have no doubts that if they decide to take me up on the offer that they will not be disappointed."

Kofford

"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."

Lemmon

"We absolutely loved working with Justin and SunnySide Mini Doodles to add the perfect
Cavapoo pup to our family! Justin was so easy to work with, flexible, knowledgeable,
and answered all of our questions. He worked to get just the perfect fit for our family and
we are so grateful for our little Helen. We highly recommend SunnySide if you’re in the
market for a healthy, happy Cavapoo!"

-Lemmon Family

Lopez

"We had the best experience with Justin and are so thankful we found him! We brought our Cavapoo puppy home and instantly fell in love. She’s the sweetest little fluff—so social, friendly, and such an easy puppy. You can tell she was raised with tons of love and attention because she settled right in and has the happiest little personality. Throughout the entire process, Justin was very communicative and very helpful with FaceTiming to see our Navy girl and answering all of our questions. We couldn’t be happier with our decision!"

-Lopez Family

Loy Family

"If you’re considering a doodle breed, Sunnyside Mini Doodles is the place to go! We got our
Cavapoo, Wilson, a little over a year ago and he’s been the best addition to our family and the
best adopted sibling to our 2 year old Shi-Poo. Wilson came into our home super socialized and
just as sweet as can be. He has an amazing temperment, not just with our own household but
with everyone that comes into our home, all ages. Justin at SunnySide is responsive, easy to
work with, and genuinely cares for the dogs he breeds, as he has continued to keep in contact
with us over our pup. I highly recommend."

-Loy Family

McKirnan

"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."

-McKirnan Family

Ocampo

"We had an amazing experience with our breeder, Justin. He walked us through the entire process from start to finish and kept us updated on our puppy while we eagerly waited for Brodie to come home. Justin was incredibly communicative, always available to answer any questions we had, and clearly very knowledgeable about training. When Brodie came home, he was already crate trained, which made the transition so much easier for us. What truly sets Justin apart is how much he genuinely cares about his puppies. He checked in regularly after Brodie came home and continues to do so, making sure everything is going well. We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and professionalism Justin shows. You can truly tell he cares deeply about the well-being of his puppies, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly."

-Ocampo Family

Oslund

"I had a wonderful experience with Justin at SunnySide Mini Doodles. He was incredibly responsive, answering all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, and I never felt pressured to rush my decision. We brought home an F1 Cavapoo named Goldie, who currently weighs 11 pounds. Because she arrived with a foundation of potty and crate training, the transition was remarkably easy; she was even sleeping through the night without whining after only two days! Goldie has the best temperament and loves everyone she meets, from children to other animals. She is just as happy lounging at home as she is going on walks or car rides. Another major bonus is that she doesn’t shed! While she does require professional grooming every six weeks or so, that is a trade-off I’m more than happy to make. Justin truly cares about the well-being of his dogs and puppies. He was there to support us through the entire process and has stayed in touch since we brought Goldie home. When you choose SunnySide Mini Doodles, you aren't just getting an amazing dog—you’re getting a great resource for life. I couldn't recommend them more!"

-Oslund Family

Palmer

"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."

-Palmer Family

Pervyer

"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."

Pickens

"Choosing Justin at SunnySide Mini Doodles was hands-down the best decision we made for our family. From the very beginning, his pre-birth communication was outstanding. He kept us updated with regular photos, ultrasound info, and detailed progress reports on the litter, making us feel truly involved and excited every step of the way. The puppy delivery process was seamless and stress-free, with Justin personally handling the safe handoff to the flight nanny and providing a comprehensive health packet, starter supplies, and clear instructions. Even after we brought our adorable Cavapoo puppy Angie home, Justin’s follow-up has been exceptional: quick responses to every question, ongoing advice on training and care, and genuine care about how our pup is thriving. His dedication, transparency, and love for these dogs shine through in every interaction. We emphatically recommend SunnySide Mini Doodles without hesitation!"

Reed

"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!"

Schoolfield

"Our dog Willie - a SunnySide Mini Doodle - is the best thing that’s ever happened to us!! He’s the perfect dog - sweet, cuddly, loyal and loving but also so fun and playful. Working with Justin was a breeze. He was always super responsive, had detailed answers to all of our questions, and had Willie all set up to come home to us (necessary paperwork, vaccinations, etc). He even set us up with someone who delivered Willie to us from SLC to NYC (at a reasonable price point!) We’re constantly getting compliments on Willie, and we always recommend SunnySide Mini Doodles. In fact, last year my parents-in-law came home with Willie’s brother (from another litter), Rocky. We’re a SunnySide Mini Doodle family for life!"

Senthil

"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."

-Senthil Family

Verstat

"We drove over 1,000 miles to pick up our Cavapoo from SunnySide Mini Doodles and would do it again. Working with Justin was and is such a pleasure. Not only did he explain everything and give us a lot of different tips about our new puppy, but he has kept in contact and made sure that everything is good with us. Our sweet Copper is such a great pup and so smart. We could not be happier with our choice to choose SunnySide Mini Doodles as our breeder."

-Verstat Family

Watkins

"As someone who values responsible breeding and strong genetic foundations, I appreciated the clear health testing and smooth, professional process Justin provided.Our Cavapoo, Jasper has matured into a sweet, well-structured, healthy dog and friendly little guy. His early foundations while in SunnySide Mini Doodle’s care truly shines through. Justin’s continued communication and support — even years later — demonstrates a breeder who stands behind his dogs and only wants the best."
