Snow Adventures! December 3

The time has absolutely flown by with this litter of sweethearts. These pups just love being held and handled and were relaxed and compliant during their grooming practice session today (included standard nail trim and introduced the use of clippers around their eyes and faces). Then outside we went for a brand new life experience - SNOW! All of these pups took to it immediately; poking their noses into the snowbanks, chasing little snowballs, and prancing right out of the cleared path we'd made for them into the deeper drifts. Much fun was had by all and these little winter bunnies are ready for more great adventures with their new families coming right up! Scroll to the bottom of today's slideshows to watch some video clips of the pups in the snow.
Anne Shirley - new name is Loki!
Josie Pye - new name is Mayzie Blue!
Diana Berry
Gilbert Blythe
Ruby Gillis - her new name is Rosie!

Ready for Company! November 14

The Green Gables puppies will be five weeks old tomorrow and they can't wait to meet their new families! These clever pups have already learned to consistently use their "litter box" in preparation for full crate and house training, which will commence next week. They enjoy playing tug of war, keep away, and wrestling with their big "cousins" from Hanna's and Stormy's litters. But most of all they love being held and played with; they're well on their way to being the great family dogs that is their destiny!
Gilbert Blythe - 3 lb. 3.3 oz.
Anne Shirley - 2 lb. 13.5 oz.
Ruby Gillis - 3 lb. 6.0 oz.
Josie Pye - 2 lb. 11.4 oz.
Diana Berry - 2 lb. 10.5 oz.

Eyes are open! November 6

Lilac's puppies have opened their eyes! Now that they have sight, they are starting to wobble around on all four paws as they explore their world with a whole new sense available to them.

Welcome pups, October 11, 2019

Lilac once again presented a stellar performance in the puppy department. Like most of our girls, she prefers to welcome her puppies in the middle of the night, but these babies came quickly and were soon all snugged up and contentedly nursing.

We are thrilled that Lilac has so many girls in this litter, after we've had quite a few boys over the past year. This was my big opportunity to use one of my favorite stories: Anne of Green Gables! I first saw the BBC mini-series when I was at a sleep-over when I was 8 years old, and I've been smitten ever since.

First born: Diana Barry - apricot female (black collar for Diana's raven hair!)
Second born: Anne Shirley - dark apricot female (orange collar for the infamous "Carrots" scene!)
Third born: Gilbert Blythe - apricot male (no collar necessary for the only boy!)
Fourth born: Ruby Gillis - light apricot female (blue collar for one of Anne's true-blue friends!)
Fifth born: Josie Pye - light apricot female (purple collar for a girl who thinks she's royalty!)

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
