Meet the breeder
I'm Kelly T., the breeder behind RockyRiverDoodles located in Concord, NC. Our family raises hypoallergenic puppies in a warm, nurturing environment where health and socialization are top priorities. We carefully care for each pup, giving them early exposure to everyday sights and sounds to build confidence. We strive to place happy, healthy puppies into forever homes.
Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding because we wanted to share the joy and companionship our dogs bring us with others. Having had pets our whole lives, we know how special that bond is. Our goal is to raise healthy, happy puppies that will bring the same love and happiness to new families, creating lifelong connections just like ours.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because we raise puppies as family members, not just as a business. On our 2-acre property, pups enjoy a loving home environment with plenty of early socialization, including exposure to everyday sounds and experiences. We’re not full-time breeders, so our focus is on quality, care, and matching healthy, happy puppies with loving families.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown, wheaten, cream, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Program update on 25 Sept. •…Wrapping up an incredible journey…Savanna and Cozy Cam”s litter ✨❤️🐾✨ As we come to the end of Savanna and Cam’s exciting puppy journey, I can honestly say…I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it. From the sleepless nights to the first tiny squeaks, wobbly first steps, and now off to their forever homes, it’s been an absolute joy watching their litter grow. Each puppy brought its own little personality, charm, and spark into the world. It’s a bittersweet moment, but mostly, my heart is full. What makes this experience even more special is our amazing puppy parents. I couldn’t be more thrilled about the loving homes these pups are going to. Knowing they’re off to places Where they’ll be cherished, spoiled, and given the best lives imaginable is everything I could hope for as a breeder. Thank you to everyone who followed along, supported, and reached out with kind words. Your excitement and love mean the world to me…and to the puppies. Here’s to Savanna, Cam and all their adorable little ones starting their next big adventure!!!✨🐾🥰🐶✨ Stay tuned…there’s always more puppy love around the corner ✨❤️✨

I had an amazing experience with Kelly! From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely passionate about their dogs. They took the time to answer all of my questions, sent regular updates, and made sure I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. When they dropped off Ace, it was clear how much care and socialization had gone into those early weeks. My puppy is healthy, confident, and has the sweetest temperament — truly a testament to the breeder’s dedication and high standards. I also really appreciated the transparency around health testing, the cleanliness of the environment, and the thoughtful transition materials they provided for bringing a new pup home. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and truly reputable breeder, I can’t recommend Kelly highly enough!

+12Kelly was truly amazing to work with, very responsive to all of my questions and she ensured that we found the perfect puppy match for our little family. I inquired about two and she matched us with the little guy she felt like best met our family needs. Jett is such a fun, gentle and sweet puppy. He was already mostly potty trained prior to his arrival at our house, she made sure he had toys and food to get us started, and was very helpful in sharing tips and tricks about whoodles and what to expect. He was so well cared for and the handover was flawless. She also gave us plenty of recommendations on grooming, treats and more. I was skeptical about using an app to find a fluffy friend, but I can’t recommend Kelly and Good Dog more!

Kelly was amazing, she stayed in touch with me the entire time Ori was born and I thought she went above and beyond letting me know her progression until it was time for me to pick her up and for that, I thank you Kelly! Ori is a beautiful girl, I am so proud to have her!

We could not be happier with our new puppy Kelly was amazing to work with! It was obvious in the messages, pictures and videos she sent us how well he was taken of. We loved seeing him play. He is the sweetest boy! Thank you Kelly for everything!!

Kelly is a wonderful breeder. Her puppies are happy and healthy and so beautiful. They have a good temperament and learn very quickly. I am extremely pleased with my puppy Teddy. He has been with me for a month. During the adoption process, Kelly answered all my questions and is very knowledgeable. She gave me information about the products she uses on her puppies and dogs. She sent me feeding schedules and house training tips. Teddy has been easy to house train and learns commands very quickly. Kelly is always responsive and concerned about her puppies. She gave me reports and pictures every week and since bringing Teddy home she regularly checks on him. I recommend Rocky River Doodles to all. Kelly is honest and trustworthy and she is an excellent breeder.

Working with Kelly has been such a great experience! This was my first time choosing a breeder and puppy and I cannot recommend Kelly enough. Throughout the whole process, she was incredibly communicative and caring. She went out of her way to send me pictures and videos of my puppy weekly and at every milestone, I felt so attached to my puppy before I even met her. My puppy, Finn (previously Nutmeg), is absolutely perfect, beautiful, playful, silly, and full of love. She’s truly my best friend and is a happy city pup here in Boston! Kelly’s dedication to her puppies really shows, she genuinely cares about finding them the right homes and making sure they’re well-prepared for the transition. Finn came home with all of her shots up to date and a thoughtful starter kit that included toys, chews, food, and a blanket with her litter’s scent (which she sleeps with every night). Kelly also did early introductions to crate and potty training, which has made training so easy for us. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better puppy. Kelly is an amazing breeder who loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. She stays connected with all of her puppies’ families and posts updates on her Facebook. I look forward to keeping in touch and watching Finn’s siblings grow!
