We cannot say enough great things
We cannot say enough great things about Fawn River! Our puppy from there came healthy and happy. He is the most well behaved and loving dog, and was up to date on all his medicals when we received him.
Robin was also so great to work with, being really responsive, flexible on meeting time with us to come pick up our pup, and answering all our questions.
Even after we took Walter home, Robin continues to check in and answer any questions we have as they come up. I can’t recommend Fawn River enough!

We now have referred Robin to 3 of our friends
We cannot thank Robin & Trina enough for all their help throughout this process & for giving us our baby girl, Berkeley!
We now have referred Robin to 3 of our friends who all already picked their pup from their litters! Needless to say, we’re very happy with their service and beautiful pups.
The best part is, they still text us every so often to check in on her 5 months later! ???? THANK YOU

The result of a positive environment
The love and care they have for their dogs and puppies… shows up when you take your puppy home!
Our Bernedoodle Duncan… adjusted to life in a new place with us better than we ever could’ve imagined.
After nearly four weeks his temperament and personality are really starting to shine through. He is loving, loyal, playful, and curious.
He’s the result of a positive environment with this breeder in his early days. We absolutely can’t recommend Fawn River Doodles enough!

What is the BAB program?
BAB (Badass Breeder) is a program created by Jeanette Forrey to help breeders empower their puppies and give them a voice in what they need. It also makes a big difference in finding the right families for each puppy and the right puppy for each family.
Here’s what Jeanette has to say on why she created her program:
Puppies are raised to believe in themselves and be the best they can be through guiding emotional responses, meeting their innate needs in order, building confidence through intentional and purposeful curriculum and handling that aligns to their sensitive developmental benchmarks, and lastly, evaluating each puppy prior to placement to ensure their voice is heard and they are honored and respected not only with their breeder but with their new human as well.
Jeanette, founder of Badass Breeders
Here’s summary of a list of benefits for puppies raised on the BAB program.
Better Stress Handling
When the puppies are a few days old we start with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS). This improves their stress responses later in life.
Improved Confidence
Early Scent Introduction (ESI) is also started at a few days old. It is a procedure to help with nose awareness and confidence.
Puppy/Family Temperament Matching
At 7-8 weeks we do temperament testing. This is a test that helps us place a puppy with the right family, and helps you pick a puppy that will thrive in your home.
Why do I want a puppy raised on the BAB program?
This is something we have been working on over the last couple years. It’s not something that happened overnight because it takes a lot of time.
We love our puppies and parents, and we always try to do our very best in raising and training our puppies. The BAB program has helped us so much because it’s a proven, structured approach to raising confident puppies. It has made such a difference in our puppies and how they transition into their new homes.
Better stress handling
We start when they are a few days old with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS). This improves their stress responses later in life. We do this is by applying gentle stressors like gently pulling on their tail, rubbing between their toes, gently rubbing a hand over their eyes and face, turning them upside down. We do this all with great care and with much love.
Improved confidence
We also do Early Scent Introduction (ESI). It is a procedure to help with nose awareness and confidence. It enhances their ability to identify and react to scents. Similar to ENS this is introduced at days 3-16 of a puppies life and is very beneficial to their development.
We introduce the puppies to many new things each week starting at week 4. New toys in the whelping box and exposure to many sounds. When they are older they go outside to the play area to experience even more.
Puppy/family temperament matching
At 7-8 weeks we do temperament testing, this is a test that helps us place a puppy with the right family and helps you pick a puppy that will thrive in your home. This way everyone gets a voice in the placement process.
All of this takes a lot of time and energy, but the benefits have been so amazing since we have started that it just makes sense to keep doing it all– better placements, fewer problems, and fewer puppies that need to be re-homed.
