5 weeks is going fast! June 15

Rosalind - female, 3 lb. 11 oz.

Phoebe - female, 3 lb. 10 oz.

Celia - female, 3 lb. 7 oz.

Orlando - male, 4 lb. 4 oz.

3 week photo shoot! June 1

Maisy's puppies are at a stage that's extra delightful to watch. Their sense of sight and hearing, along with ability to walk and play, are taking off!  All of their eyes are open, we hear the cute rumblings of them discovering their vocals, and the kids giggle as they observe them pawing at their siblings and waggling their little tails! They still spend lots of time nursing and sleeping, but now also get to be held by the McLaughlin kids and their friends so as to ensure their human socialization is well underway at this prime time!

Orlando - male, 3 lb. 3 oz.

Rosalind - female, 2 lb. 12 oz.

Phoebe - female, 2 lb. 10 oz.

Celia - female, 2 lb. 10 oz.

Names Chosen & First Photo Shoot, May 17

These puppies look so classy with their formal "tuxedo-wear" so we went with a Shakespeare theme! But knowing these pups will be playful and funny, we went with names from "As You Like It", a romantic comedy involving mistaken identities, romps in the forest, and happy endings for all!

Orlando is a handsome gentleman
Phoebe is a proud shepherdess
Rosalind is the lovely heroine
Celia is the loyal companion

Orlando - male, white chin & chest stripe 18.3 oz.

Handsome little Orlando arrived first and weighed in at a healthy 8.5 oz. at birth. Mama Maisy -- this being her first whelping experience -- took a few moments to forge the bond we like to see, but once established, it was evidently very strong! He nursed like a champ within minutes and continues to. 

Phoebe - female, white chin, chest, paw tips 15.0 oz.

"Sweet Phoebe," as she is called in Shakespeare's play, was born an hour after Orlando. Her first weigh-in was 7.4 ounces. She bears the distinguishing marks of her paws looking as if they gently stepped in white paint. 

Rosalind - female, white chest 16.6 oz.

Loyal, humble, and wise describe Rosalind in "As You Like It." We also know she was beautiful, just like our Maisy and Nico's Rosalind. Her shiny black coat covers her from head to tail and all down her legs, except for the white tuxedo markings on her chest.

Celia - female, white chin, chest, front left paw 15.6 oz.

Celia, born rapidly after Rosalind, weighed in at 7.6 ounces at birth, with very evident wavy coat and a precious white-tipped front paw. She is "fair and excellent" in Shakespeare's play and we think so, too!

Yay!! Puppies have arrived! May 11

Maisy's first litter arrived very early in the morning on Friday, May 11, with the first puppy born right at midnight! All pups are black with a little white stripe down the chest (we like to call it a tuxedo). All four puppies (one male, three females) are eating and growing rapidly!

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
