Most importantly, we are also a family. We have always had dogs, from keeshonds to basset hounds to cocker spaniels but especially labs and now poodles!! We have made Durham NC our home for over 25 years. 


We started River Home Doodles because we love dogs and want to share the joy of having a fur-ever friend!!

Penny and Max

Max & Penny

Max our AKC registered English Labrador Retriever loves to swim in the Eno River near our home in every season. He's a powerful athlete with great retrieving instincts. Penny our CKC Standard Poodle lives for "squirrel patrol" and is always on the lookout in the woods behind our home! Max and Penny are pals!

Dudley & Sadie

Dudley is our F1 Standard Labradoodle from Max & Penney 2021 litter. Sadie is our sweet Continental Kennel Club (CKC) registered Standard Poodle. Dudley and Sadie blessed us with a beautiful healthy litter of F1b Labradoodles in April 2024. We hope to have future litters with these two!!

We're Healthy!

Healthy parents mean healthy pups!

Our adult dogs have regular checkups at Northpaw Animal Hospital in Durham NC and are up to date on all of their vaccinations and screenings. Penny and Sadie are seen by their groomer regularly.

Optimal Nutrition

We feed and recommend Royal Canin foods, which provide optimal nutrition. It costs a little more, but they're healthier as a result. We are proud to be Royal Canin partners. Puppies go home with a Royal Canin introductory starter kit!

AIS PennHIP Clearance

The AIS PennHIP Clearance method has strong scientific foundation as the most effective hip screening tool for dogs.  Both Penny and Max have been cleared.

Biosensor Routine

The Biosensor Routine is a series of five simple exercises. They are performed on each puppy once a day, starting at three days of age. 

All of our adult dogs are EMBARK DNA Tested.

        About F1 and F1b Labradoodles

        A FI Labradoodle is a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Labrador Retriever. The main advantage of F1 breeding is they have the highest possibilities of hybrid vigor, which means they will be healthier with fewer genetic defects. A well-bred F1 gets the best balance from both the Lab and Poodle; they have a sweet and playful temperament and are intuitive, quick learners (often used as therapy dogs). The coat of a young F1 will change over time. There is a transition from a short and soft puppy coat to the longer adult coat - this means they "doodle" increasingly as they mature. The easiest way to determine the coat type of a Labradoodle is to look at the fur around the face and muzzle--fur that has crimps or waves will similarly be wavy/shaggy or also curly, although it is not possible to tell which until the pup is a little older. A F1 Labradoodle has a low-shedding coat.


        A F1b Labradoodle is a cross between a F1 Labradoodle and a Standard Poodle. They typically have a curlier shorter coat than the F1. Their coat will be close to hypoallergenic much like a Standard Poodle.

        Our puppies are $1500 - $2000. A $200 deposit is part of the full price. The remaining balance is due when the puppy is 6 weeks old. 


        We offer flight or ground transportation. The cost is $500 + the cost of transportation; either plan ticket round trip or gas/hotel expenses.


        In order to minimize the risk of infection/disease, we do not allow visitors into our home. We offer video visits. In the past this has been an excellent option for families.


        We have two females in our family; Penny and Sadie. We allow them to have a litter no more than once per year. Penny has had two litters; 2021 and 2023. This current litter w/Dudley in 2024 is Sadie's first.
