Bittersweet Beginning! March 18

Eevee's #CountryCapitals pups have successfully completed their 8-week course in Early Puppy Education in Destiny's home! As they graduate into their new lives, with new surroundings, new homes, and new forever families, we know we've given them a great foundation to build upon. We send them off a little sadly, having grown very fond of them, but also with pride, knowing they're on track to become great dogs in ways both large and small. We wish you the best, #CountryCapitals! 
Zagreb - now known as Rusty to his family in Reading, MA!
London - on his way home to Boston, where his new family will call him Luca!
Sofia - is now Sadie, little sister to Dutch Haven Bentley in Mystic, CT!
Oslo - named Blue by his boy in Portsmouth, NH!
Dublin - going home to Boston, MA sporting the new name Baxter!
Abu - newly named Crouton, he'll be joining his new family in Boston, MA!
Suva - will be known as Scout to her new family in Canton, MA! 

Busy Little Bodies! February 23

A little over 5 weeks old now, Eevee's #CountryCapitals puppies are busily investigating the world in every possible way. Can I step on it? Can I smell it? Can I put it in my mouth? Like the little toddlers they are, they're building balance and learning important lessons about life. The purpose of our early socialization exercises at this age is to teach the puppies to welcome new experiences, and to be right there alongside them so they learn to trust the humans in their lives. These pups can't wait to meet the humans who will be theirs forever!

Take a Tiny Peek! February 3

Just over two weeks old, Eevee's #CountryCapitals puppies are just starting to explore a brand new sense - sight! The world is so bright! The puppies are still mostly interested in staying snuggled up warmly with their mama, but over the next few weeks they'll be practicing experiencing the whole world with every sense available to them. But first...another nap please!

It's a beautiful world! January 19

Eevee saw how much her sister Starla was enjoying her litter of puppies and decided to have one of her own the very next day! This delightful pile of puppies is thriving under their mama's careful attentions, as the round tummies testify!

What Our Clients Are Saying

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
