8 Weeks Old (almost), Friday, August 19

Summer is in full swing - with temps in the mid 80's today we all decided to bring our photo shoot to Grandma's pool.  The pups enjoyed playing outside with all the kiddos (Lydia's, Destiny's and some out of town cousins/grands that were visiting).  The pups got plenty of love and attention.  They even managed to have a bit of water time (with their drinking water).  Oh puppies! :-)

Melbourne - Ziggy (apricot male)

Sydney - Travis (apricot female)

Brisbane - Charlie (apricot male)

Maitland - Clover (apricot male)

4 Weeks Old, Monday, July 25

It was a beautiful (though hot) sunny day, so we opted for an outdoor photo shoot.  The pups were so agreeable (they just love to be held at this age) and we were able to get some pretty cute shots.

Their eyes are open! (Mostly...) Monday, July 11

Eating. Sleeping. Eating. Sleeping. Mixing it up with a little more sleep. The dog days of summer are here :-) Nabisco has rich and plentiful milk, as the little round bellies and glossy fur testify! Meet the Australia litter!
Sydney: The only girl of this litter, Sydney has the curliest coat. We expect she will be a medium apricot color with a very curly coat at full growth. 
Maitland: Small and sleek, Maitland has a glossy coat that will only be wavy at full growth, and with his fine bone structure we expect he will mature at the low end of the weight spectrum, close to 20 pounds. Jack nicknamed him Spot for the two bright spots on his head.
Brisbane: Tied with Sydney for biggest pup of the litter, Brisbane has a moderately curly apricot coat with a slightly lighter stripe down his spine (which is why Jack has been calling him Stripey). The broad white stripe on his head and bright white on his chest are bold and handsome!
Melbourne: This little guy has the palest apricot coat - almost a buff color but still with the honey highlights that make him an apricot. Melbourne is a feisty fellow and was "growling" (sounded like a purr!) when I placed him on the scale, where he weighed almost as much as his bigger brother and sister.

Nabisco's Pups Are Here!! Saturday, June 25, 2016

This weekend Nabisco welcomed four beautiful apricot pups! Labor and delivery went smoothly and Nabisco made it look easy. All of the pups are strong and healthy and growing fast on Nabisco's rich milk. Jack chose the name theme: cities in Australia. More pics to come later.

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
