Off into the Wide World! May 2

It's always bittersweet - but we know these puppies are going to just wonderful families so we're very happy for them! 
Trix is going to her new home in Clarksville, NY! And Cheerio will be calling Marblehead, MA home from here on!

Time to Wean! April 8

​Trix, Cheerio, and Captain Crunch reached 4.5 weeks old today. We recently integrated them with Milly's puppies and all puppies are comfortable nursing from both moms. However, puppy teeth are in, so I can't say that both moms are comfortable nursing! Weaning has begun and the #CerealPups like their new chow. It's yummy to lap it up from the bowl, off your buddy's mouth, and off your feet after you've walked through it! 

Hop over to see Milly's puppies' page and see what we're up to with shaping their "so what" response to abrupt noises and new environments. We're looking forward to meeting all the new families this weekend!
Trix: female, darkest of the 2 girls, 3.3 lb
Cheerio: female, lightest, 3.2 lb
Captain Crunch: male, cute white markings on head and chest, 2.8 lb

Toddlers! Friday, March 27

​Princess and Nico's puppies are 3 weeks old and doing fantastic. We appreciate all Princess is doing for them. Princess has been getting back out on her normal walks and she lets the other mama dogs near her puppies now. They are toddling around their whelping box and take steps on the various surfaces we are exposing them to when they're awake and out of the box with us. When they sense their mama is near, they can now make slow strides towards her for a recharging snack. 

In the video, you can see Cheerio climbing into other side of their playspace. Trix tries to follow, but Capt Crunch holds her back. Princess enters, munching loudly on food, and then Lacey enters for a brief moment. 
Trix: female, darkest of the 2 girls, 2.6 lb
Cheerio: female, lightest, 2.4 lb
Captain Crunch: male, cute white markings on head and chest, 2.0 lb

Puppy Savings Time! Saturday, March 7

Princess’ first Dutch Haven litter arrived Saturday evening, at the exact same time as Milly’s pups! Princess had a quick and quiet labor, and she did a lovely job, licking and cuddling her pups immediately. She’s keeping them toasty and fed, and they’re growing quite round and chubby under her attentive care!

We’ve since started Early Neurological Stimulation, which is a series of short exercises that help stimulate growth and development in the puppies’ immune and cardiovascular systems, as well as increases their stress tolerance.

Cap’n Crunch: male, 10.0 oz, apricot with white snip on head and white patches on chest
Trix: female, 9.0 oz, solid apricot
Cheerio: female, 8.4 oz, lighter apricot with small white snip on head and chest

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
