I'm 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.
About Christina
I am a retired RN and enjoyed working in the newborn nursery. I am also the retired Director of Sunshine Sanctuary for Kids and Horses. We believe every newborn deserves a wonderful, safe childhood or puppyhood filled with love and safe educational adventures.
What makes Christina’s 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.

Why Christina started 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.
