Ready to meet their families! 5.5.23

Irelynd's puppies are out and about! They've explored the patio and started in on the lawn. They love romping after the "big dogs" (especially our 1-year-old Cocker and our adult Lab) and they're getting more coordinated every day. They are very open minded about new experiences and consider everything an exciting adventure or a delightful challenge. We're eager to introduce them to their families this weekend!
Flanagan! Going home to Hopkinton, MA, renamed Luca!
Brannigan! His new family is in Needham, MA!
Shenanigan! Will be making his home in North Reading, MA!
Lucky! Joining big sister Dutch Haven's Stella in Providence, RI!

Easter Celebration! 4.11.23

The puppies have opened their eyes and are starting to take in the world with a whole new sense of wonder! They enjoyed the attentions of visiting cousins over the weekend and got to experience nosing around in a basket of eggs. We've been enjoying warm, sunny, spring days here, and the puppies have enjoyed snuggle time in the shade of the patio while taking in the scents of the great outdoors. And our kitty has stopped by to give her stamp of approval (at least to warm laps with a view of the bird feeder!)

Luck of the Irish! 3.23.23

Born to mama Irelynd, in the week following St. Patrick's Day, and with a birth date like this, it seemed natural to choose Irish-themed names! Once again, there are a range of colors to choose from in this "rainbow" litter!

Shenanigan - black male; 4 white paws, white chin & chest, white markings on face & head, tan points
Flanagan - apricot male; 4 white paws, white chest, white heart on head
Brannigan - apricot male; 4 white paws, white chest, white blaze on face
Lucky - apricot parti female; largely white, apricot markings on face, shoulder, and ears

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
