  • They delivered me a perfect Angel baby

    From the time I started searching for another puppy to add to our family I came across FRD and loved their babies and their facilities.

    They answered every question I had which there were many, they kept me in the know and they delivered me a perfect Angel baby who we now call Milo! We love FRD and will refer to everyone! Exceptional breeder.

  • 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. ❤️

  • 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.
