  • 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!

  • Robin and Trina continue to check in regularly

    We are SO thankful to Fawn River for bringing us our perfect baby and helping us at every step!
    From the moment we saw Jake (now Boozer, from Riley and Koda’s litter) we fell in love!

    These guys truly went ABOVE and BEYOND for us and Jake… And while i thought that after 2 months of bugging them almost daily they would be happy to get rid of us, Robin and Trina continue to check in regularly on how our boy is doing – demonstrating just how much they really love and care for each of these dogs, as well as the new members of the Fawn River Family.

  • So confident and loves everyone she meets

    We are in love with our newest family member ! We picked up Posey who was formerly known as Azalea 5/7/24. We toured the facility and spent sometime meeting our new pup. Robin was kind and so helpful and made the purchase from out of state so easy! She is our second bernedoodle but our first from Fawn River.

    We can’t thank you enough Posey is so confident and loves everyone she meets and we know it’s because of the great start she had from you and your family a world of difference from our other bernedoodle who was scared and very nervous . Posey is so smart and picked up the bell method to go potty outside with in the first few days.

    If you are looking for a bernedoodle we would highly recommend Fawn River Doodles!

We've done our best to answer the most asked questions. If you don't see your question listed here search for your specific question on our FAQs page.

  • What Kind of Shampoo Should I Use?

    We have used quite a few different kinds of shampoo for our dogs and we have settled on one we really like. It cleans well and smells amazing. Wahl 4-in-1 Calming Pet Shampoo for Dogs – Cleans, Conditions, Detangles, & Moisturizes with Lavender Chamomile.

    We also love Henry Grooming Dog Cologne Deodorizing Spray for Pets. The Swaggy scent is our favorite. This product is perfect for those days when you just need a little freshener, but don’t have time for a bath.

  • Will I Need to Pay Indiana Sales Tax?

    If you are going to pick up your puppy from Fawn River Doodles you will need to pay IN sales tax. If you live in another state and decide to have your puppy delivered, you will not need to pay IN sales tax.

  • How do I help my puppy adjust to its new home?

    The first few days of bringing a new puppy home can be overwhelming. These are some tips for you so you can have a smooth transition.

    Choose a potty spot

    You should start by taking your puppy to an outside spot where you want him to go potty. Be sure to use a command like “go potty” so the puppy can learn. 

    Introduce your home one room at a time

    Introduce your house to your puppy one room at a time. This will prevent a sensory overload and allows the puppy to get used to its new surroundings slowly.

    Introduce family members individually

    Try to let your puppy meet each family member individually.

    Introduce its sleeping space

    Show your puppy their sleeping space, which could either be a crate or a dog bed.

    Give chew toys

    Puppies like to chew so be sure to provide safe puppy chew toys.

    Keep a close eye on your new family member

    It’s important for your puppy to stay supervised within the early days.

    Start training immediately

    It’s critical that your puppy learns rules from the beginning. This is because the more structured and consistent its day is, the better adjusted it will be. Don’t yell or punish the puppy as this will only frighten and confuse it.

    Take things slow

    Under your supervision, gradually expand the puppy’s environment. With lots of affection, consistent rules and routine, rewards for good behavior, and gentle corrections, your puppy will adjust in no time.
