  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • How do FaceTime calls work?

    Robin is ready and looking forward to talking to you. It’s best if you text first to confirm it’s a good time for a video call.

    Call (574) 596-0350 to talk to Robin about a puppy or litter.
