Puppy Playtime

The pups love to bound about and play with toys!  They keep us entertained while we have our lunch.

4+ Weeks, August 4

Madi's "paint" puppies will be meeting their fur-ever families this coming weekend!
At 4+ weeks, they are eating softened kibble (that the seem to quite enjoy) - stealing some of mommas "big girl" food (she is too mild mannered to tell her babies no ❤️) - playing with toys - and becoming very aware of the life going on around them (kids, other momma dogs, other pups, etc.).  They enjoy being snuggled and can often be found being read to by my boys.  Before the rain, we headed outside for their photo shoot.

3 Weeks Yesterday, July 24

Madi's pups turned 3 weeks yesterday.  They love to be cuddled and held, but still prefer momma.  Playtime at 3 weeks is rather short in comparison to naptime.  ❤️😴

Madi's Paint Puppies, July 8

Madi welcomed her last litter on Thursday, July 2. Momma had a beautiful litter of 5 male and 2 female apricot pups. A fantastic mom, Madi has taken to caring for her little babes wonderfully. She's gentle, peaceful, careful and loving.  

I decided on paint brands for the name theme for this litter as we are currently building our home and painting has become my other job.  

Welcome: Clare (female), Magnolia (female), Behr (male), Valspar (male), Benjamin-Moore (male), Pratt&Lambert (male) and Sherwin-Williams (male).

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

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
