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.

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!
Daniel LubyDog Dad from Chicago, IL
A breeder for the right reasons
Nothing but incredible things to say about Fawn River Doodles! Robin was so quick to respond and provided great info before we picked up our puppy. Their facility was super clean with fun play areas for the pups. And it was obvious our lil girl was so well cared for and adored Robin when we arrived to get her. He is clearly a breeder for the right reasons; he loves his dogs and wants to pass on that joy to other families. He has been incredible about checking on us frequently over the past two months and asking for updates on how she’s doing.
Lola has been the perfect addition to our family. Equal parts spunky/sweet, silly/smart, playful/cuddly, and so easy to train. She absolutely loves her big brother (a 1.5 year old bernedoodle) and all the other dogs she’s met! She’s still on the smaller side but not shy at all and loves to play with any dog. Not to mention we think she’s cute as can be!

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.
