I'm Debra H., the breeder behind River Falls Cockapoos located in Marietta, SC. Our Cockapoos are family raised and loved!
Our dams and sires have been DNA tested by the best in the business. Our litters are carefully planned so we can produce the perfect companions for our families. We cherish all of our animals and enjoy sharing the love and laughter of this breed with other individuals and families! We are very passionate to see that our puppies go to the best forever homes!
Q. & A. with Debra
Why did you start breeding?
We are lovers of all animals! I started breeding poodles in the late 80's and then took a long break to focus all my time raising a family. Once all left for college I took up breeding again.
I began breeding Cockapoos because of a delightful Cockapoo named Holly, whom we rescued when she was 2. She brought so much joy into our lives that I felt compelled to share these wonderful companions with others.
What makes your program special?
Our Moms and Dads and their puppies are raised inside our home as part of our family and experience family life -not kennel life- from the moment they are born. We focus on quality, health, and temperament. All our dams and sires are DNA health tested by Embark. Genetic diversity improves performance and health. The best traits from 2 different breeds wrapped up in one dog.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Sassafras, mom
Cockapoo
About Sassafras
Sassy is as sweet as they come. She loves to be outside and run on our 6 acres and would make a great agility dog. She enjoys the hiking trails and trying to catch squirrels and birds. In the evening she loves her belly rubs and likes to snuggle next to my husband.
Poe, dad
Cockapoo
About Poe
Poe is an active boy but is also snuggly and gentle. He loves to play and everyone he meets. He spends most his time with Rowan our 9 year old granddaughter and sleeps with her overnight.
Dani, mom
Cockapoo
About Dani
Dani is a great girl all the way around. Her big round brown eyes say it all--she speaks to you without a single word.
She's smart, snuggly, loves to play, enjoys everyone she meets, especially loves children. She goes with me everywhere I go and people are always amazed by her when they meet her. I hope her temperament shows up in all her puppies.

Debra raises truly wonderful puppies. The entire communication process was smooth, kind, and reassuring. We feel incredibly lucky to have received the best puppy we could have ever hoped for—she’s healthy, affectionate, and remarkably intelligent. In just two weeks at home, she’s already doing great with potty training, crate training, and has learned commands like sit, spin, get down, and paw. We’re so excited for the years ahead with her. Thank you so much, Debra!

We had a terrific experience with Debra and River Falls Cockapoos. We were fortunate enough to live close by so we were actually able to go visit them. We had the chance to interact with mom Dani and the pups. Debra answered all of our questions and was very responsive throughout the process. Pisgah now Carlee Belle has adjusted very well to her new family!
