  • 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.

  • A service companion for our daughter

    We are absolutely in love with our sweet Tilly girl from Fawn River Doodles! We had very specific needs in mind when searching for the right dog to become a service companion for our daughter, and Tilly has been the perfect fit. She has done incredibly well with training so far and is so gentle and loving with our three young daughters.

    Robin went above and beyond to answer every question we had, always responding quickly and thoroughly, something we truly appreciated after speaking with other breeders who didn’t offer the same level of care or communication. They are such cute pups that parents decided to get one from the same litter! Everywhere we go, we get compliments on both Tilly’s beautiful appearance and her calm, well-mannered behavior.

    We can’t recommend Fawn River Doodles enough. Thank you, Robin, for bringing Tilly into our lives!

  • 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.

  • 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.
