  • We found Fawn River Doodles through ChatGPT!

    We love taking Odin hiking and for walks along our main street — he absolutely loves meeting people and exploring new places!

    We actually found Fawn River Doodles through ChatGPT! After reading so many wonderful reviews, we felt confident you were the right breeder — and we were absolutely right. The experience was so positive from start to finish.

  • 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.

  • Let us come in person to meet our puppy

    Juno, formerly “Wren” on the Fawn River Doodles website from Bambi and Kash’s litter has been such a wonderful addition to our family.

    Juno is my second dog, and even though I’ve been through the puppy stage before, I had completely forgotten how overwhelming it can feel to bring home a new puppy! If you’re someone who has researched endlessly, asked a million questions, and wants to feel confident about where your puppy is coming from, you’ve come to the right place.

    The Fawn River Doodles family was wonderful throughout the entire process. They answered all of my many, many questions, kept us informed, and even let us come in person to meet and choose our puppy. We wanted to have our pick of the litter, so getting to spend time with all the puppies, see their personalities, and ultimately have Juno be the one who came running to us made the experience incredibly special.

    And she has been WONDERFUL.

    Their BAB program really shows. We live in downtown Chicago, and Juno adjusted to city life so quickly. Traffic, sirens, construction, crowds, and even fireworks near the lake don’t faze her. She is incredibly friendly, confident, intelligent, easy to train, and has such a sweet temperament. Most importantly, she has also been a very happy and healthy puppy.

    You can tell that this family genuinely cares about their dogs and the puppies they raise. The thoughtful little extras they sent home with us were such a nice touch too, especially during those first few days when everything feels new.

    Thank you, Fawn River Doodles, for giving my husband and me such a joyful little companion. We love Juno more than we could have imagined, and we’re so grateful she found her way to us. ❤️

FAQs

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.
