Owen and Melissa Castle reside on the picturesque Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, where they nurture a bustling household of six—four children, each with unique needs, whom they lovingly homeschool. In addition to their commitment to their family, Owen and Melissa co-manage Castle Care, a service-oriented company dedicated to providing compassionate support to individuals in their community.

Their journey into dog breeding through Suncoast Pups, under the banner of Castle Companions, is deeply rooted in personal experience. Witnessing firsthand the transformative effects of therapy animals—both cats and dogs—within their own home, Owen and Melissa were inspired to extend that healing power to others. They have seen how furry friends can bring comfort, regulate emotions, and offer invaluable assistance to their owners, inspiring them to embark on their own path of breeding dogs as a labour of love.

Both Owen and Melissa bring rich backgrounds in caring for others and serving their community, making Suncoast Pups a natural extension of their hearts’ desire to make a tangible difference in the world. Their dream is to create a world where every person feels supported, loved, and filled with hope and happiness. What better way to spread joy than through the breeding of little bundles of love—puppies!

At Suncoast Pups, Owen and Melissa have honed their passion into a craft, specialising in crafting what they believe to be the most beautiful crossbreeds. Their signature blends, such as the Cavoodle, Cavapoochon, and medium-sized Double Doodles (Groodle x Labradoodle), are meticulously bred to embody excellence in appearance, temperament, genetic health, and support capability. Each puppy they breed is a testament to their dedication to producing not just dogs, but lifelong companions who bring joy and enrichment to every home they join.

Explore Suncoast Pups to discover a delightful array of puppies, educational resources, courses, and products—all designed to enhance your journey as a puppy owner and foster a harmonious relationship with your new furry family member.
