Busy Couple of Days, January 20

Today the pups had their check up with the vet......not only did they pass with flying colors but they charmed all of the people in the office.  Yesterday we had our last photo shoot before the pups go home this weekend.  Since we were home due to a snow storm we thought we'd take full advantage of the natural and amazing beauty of the snow.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas, December 17

In just a couple of days the pups will be 4 weeks old.  This is such a fun stage!  Eyes are open, they get excited to hear my voice, their tails wag when I talk to them and pet them, they have started to make noises and wobble around. Of course momma is still their favorite "person" in our home - but over the next week we'll be tie!  :-)
Wishing all our DHD families a Merry Christmas!

Puppy Piles, Wednesday, December 14

​Almost 2 Weeks, Saturday, December 3

This coming week the pups will be two weeks old, thier eyes will begin to open and they'll start wobbling around.  It was a sunny day (finally, after a lot of rain this week) so I thought I'd try to take advantage of the sun (natural light) for our shoot.  Also, names have been selected!  Since we are in full Christmas mode in our home I decided to name the pups after the cutest elves, the Kringles, in one of my favorite Christmas movies - Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
So, we have:
     Ringle Kringle
     Zingle Kringle
     Tingle Kringle
     Wingle Kringle

All the Kringles (oh my heart)

Thanksgiving Turkeys, Tuesday, November 22

With Thanksgiving come thoughts of thankfulness.....giving mindful consideration to all our blessings.....for me, one of the many things I am thankful for are these cute turkeys!  Happy Thanksgiving!! (We are still working on names).

Sandie's Puppies Have Arrived!  Monday, November 21

At 4:52 am Sandie and I welcomed her first little guy.......after spending the night camped out eagerly awaiting their arrival I was so happy to finally see his face!  Sandie's due date was Wednesday, 11/16 so we had been watching and waiting with anticipation.  Once her babes decided today was the day these little guys wasted no time coming out to meet the world.  By 6:20 am momma had delivered 4 handsome apricot MALE pups!  Sandie has settled into her role as momma spending the day snuggling and feeding - only to move away from them to get herself something to eat/drink or go out.  The pups are eating well, sleeping and snuggling.  

Sandie's pups will be 8 weeks and ready for their forever homes on January 16.  Tentative visit/pup selection dates will be Friday, 12/30 and Saturday, 12/31.  I hope to get pics up this weekend once the pups and momma have had a chance to settle in a bit more.

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
