  • 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

  • My local veterinarian was impressed

    I stumbled upon FRD after searching for reputable breeders. After a FaceTime call and seeing Indie (formerly Valentine), we knew she was going to be a part of our family!

    We drove to their facility in Indiana on our scheduled pick-up day and it’s so nice, and very clean! The puppies were all there to greet us- we were tempted to take another one home! It is obvious they put a lot of work and care into ensuring their dogs are well cared for.

    We left with an abundance of resources and information, which was great.

    My local veterinarian was impressed with what care she had received prior to us getting her, and the records that were provided were very helpful.

  • 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 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.
