Meet our Family

If you've contacted Sunny Ridge via phone, text, email, Facebook, Instagram, or this website, then I'm the one on the other end! I am the Founder of Sunny Ridge Doodles. I manage all client correspondence, social media, breeding, whelping/birth, schedule/planning, & our Guardian Program. Before Sunny Ridge, I spent 20 years working with dogs in a variety of professions including Dog Training, Grooming, Veterinary, Pet Resort Management, Dog Daycare, Behavior & Diet Specialist, and have owned and operated my own private Puppy Rescue & Training Program.

Dogs have always been my passion! Sunny Ridge is a project straight from my heart, built with sweat, tears, and lots of puppy kisses!

Art is a man of many skills and infinite patience. Committing your life to raising dogs isn't just a job, it's a lifestyle choice! Art co-managed Kelly's Dog Training and Rescue Program for many years before Sunny Ridge Doodles began. Art recently decided to leave his hard-earned career as a Captain at sea to become a work at home Dad and the behind-the-scenes half of Sunny Ridge Doodles. In 2020 Art & Kelly moved their family to a 20 acre Ranch in Temecula. He now handles the seemingly endless responsibilities of Ranch life and manages the daily care and needs of their dogs, puppies, and other farm critters. Its a 24/7 job!
