River Doodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Kelly R., the breeder behind River Doodles located in Brea, CA. River Doodles is not a kennel, but a home. Our pups are raised in our home until they leave and become part of your family. At River Doodles we do extensive health & temperament testing of our parent dogs before they are considered for our breeding program. They have many tests they have to pass in order to meet River Doodles' high breeding standards. Our dogs are not kenneled and raise happy, well-adjusted pups.
