Seven weeks old! Monday, March 9

The puppies had a wonderfully busy day today - starting with some baths, they travelled to the vet and passed their health certification exam with flying colors, and after a quick nap they got to play outside in the gorgeous almost-spring weather! We tried to fit in some photo time, but the puppies were quite distracted chasing leaves and finding little sticks to play with. And of course, the kids' sandals are the ultimate prize!
Little John (new name is Basje!) is a bundle of fluffy fun! He weighed in at 5 lbs. 6 oz. today, and we are all in love with his teddy bear features. He is a gentle big boy, and loves to play!
Robin Hood (new name is Splash!) Our little buff fluff-ball, Robin Hood weighs 5 lbs. 2 oz. He would much rather give kisses than pose for the camera, and of course we don't mind that at all!
Friar Tuck (new name is Gryffindor!) Our dear Friar Tuck is such a beautiful apricot boy who weighs 5 pounds even! His distinctive white markings make him easy to photograph, and his sweet nature keeps him snuggly even when distractions are all around! He loves to chase his siblings (and the kids) and then come back for extra cuddles!
Maid Marian (new name is Freya!) Our sweet little apricot lady, Maid Marian is a delicate 4 lbs. 3 oz. Her smooth coat accentuates her beautiful features. She was the first to discover that sticks can be pounced upon and vanquished!

Merrie Pups of Sherwood! Wednesday, February 19

These puppies are so eager to meet their new families this coming weekend! 
Little John: Little John (wearing a yellow bow - but barely visible) is living up to the size of his namesake, tipping the scales at 3 lbs. 5 oz. He loves his Mommy Cupcake, and he is big enough to investigate the kibbles in her dish. The puppies don't have all their teeth yet, but soon they'll be ready to try their own softened puppy chow!
Robin Hood: Robin Hood (green bow) is our cute little mischief-maker! He has had a growth spurt, and is now weighing 3 lbs. 1 oz. He would much rather go exploring than sit nicely for pictures, but he loves to be snuggled!
Maid Marian: Maid Marian (pink bows) loves being held and petted, but is also athletic and was trying out her climbing skills on the letter blocks! Her soft smooth fur is irresistible! She is a little more petite than her brothers, at 2 lbs. 12 oz.
Friar Tuck: Friar Tuck (red bow) is a sturdy little fellow, weighing 3 lbs. 2 oz. He was the first to discover how to open the doggie door on the whelping box, and sticks his head out to watch the action. He's a favorite of Barbie's 2-year-old, who thinks his name is "Fire Truck" (both names sound the same in his world!)

Leaps & Bounds! Monday, February 10

The puppies are growing in leaps and bounds. They all opened their eyes last week, and they're starting to practice walking around on shaky legs. Yesterday they even started pouncing on each other in play!
Little John and Friar Tuck are both curly-haired, while Maid Marian and Robin Hood have a smoother coat. 
All the puppies love their Mommy Cupcake, and they're quite comfortable with regular visits from Aunty Buttercup. They are extremely cuddly and love to watch family movies with the kids!
Friar Tuck 2 lb., 7.0 oz.
Maid Marian 2 lb., 3.1 oz.
Robin Hood 2 lb., 5.6 oz.
Little John 2 lb., 7.1 oz.

Welcome to the world! Monday, January 20

Cupcake once again made a wonderful match with Nico and delivered her litter with typical ease. These puppies seem especially smart and figured out how to nurse right away. 
​
It's a Sherwood Forest theme!
  • Little John is our biggest pup (13oz.). He is a nice rich red, with a broad splash of white across his chest.
  • Robin Hood is our smallest (10oz.). He has a beautiful buff coat, with only very faint white markings. Hard to see in the pictures.
  • Maid Marian is our pretty little girl (12oz.). She has a red coat, with no white markings.
  • Friar Tuck is a nice plump boy (13oz.). His coat is red, with a white star on his forehead and a white bib on his chest.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Picture
Having been Lab lovers for 50 years, our decision to have a small dog was not easy. Little did we know that Lucy would waltz into our lives and bring such joy, that it is difficult to imagine life without her. At 5 months she is a bundle of energy, loves people and dogs, and is intensely curious about everything, except big, noisy trucks. Lucy's transition to our home was made easy due to the care she received by Lydia of Dutch Haven Dogs. Murphy, the stuffed dog with a beating heart, came with Lucy, and can still be found each morning cuddled underneath her. Lucy has slept through the night all but the first 2 nights with us. The written routine given to us helped to get us through those first unknown weeks. Included in the pages of information given to us were tips about personality, behavior, and care. I remember Lydia telling us when we came to get Lucy, that she massaged the puppies' paws and ears daily so that they were used to being touched. To this day, it is part of my "loving" routine. And we do love her so very much. Fondly, Sandy, Kittery, ME

​We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dutch Haven dogs. Our pup has been such a delight for the short few months we’ve had her. Everything about this process was amazing. Communication, answering questions, supplies, lists. Not to mention the love and care these pups get before we get to bring them home. My girl is an angel, she loves people. She’s friendly, she’s sweet. I couldn’t be happier. ~Heather, Eliot, ME

We absolutely LOVED our experience with Dutch Haven! My favorite part is that the puppies are so well loved by the Groen family before they are ready to go to their new homes. Lydia Groen is so thorough with her communications and so helpful! The puppy selection process was also very well done. And I was impressed by the evaluation that Lydia performed on each puppy to determine their personalities. I’ve also loved all the photos while we were waiting for our precious puppy named Birdie! This is by far the best breeder experience we’ve ever had and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a beautiful and well adjusted snd well loved puppy! ~Courtney, Dallas, TX

I am forever grateful to Dutch Haven Dogs for uniting me with my Gemma (Santa Clara) back in 2015. From our first conversation, I knew Dutch Haven not only had the knowledge of the Cockapoo breed, but also had the passion for what they do. They raise their pups surrounded by children who nurture them with all the love and cuddles! My Gemma is the smartest, most loyal dog, and she remains by my side as my best friend. Thank you Dutch Haven for breeding dogs with good health, temperment, and beauty. Huge shout out to you from us in CT!!! Christie, North Haven, CT

Getting my dog from Dutch Haven was the best experience I could imagine. We got Dublin 6 years ago and I still think of the first time I contacted Dutch Haven to picking him out to bringing him home. The process was seamless. I happily waited 9 months for my puppy knowing he was coming from a loving, healthy family breeder. We were kept updated about our place on the waitlist, and photos were shared once our litter was born. My dog is very healthy and happy and I credit a lot of that to Dutch Haven being so reputable and caring of their dogs. When I get another dog, it will be from Dutch Haven! Thank you and hello from Dublin! Kristin, Dover, NH
