Scout

Picture
Scout “Cuddle Queen” McLaughlin is a heartily-sized black seal AKC Cocker Spaniel with champion lines. Scout came to our house at eight weeks old and melded right in with the other dogs and toddler Lily-Cate. She has a soft, beautiful coat that is wonderfully scrunchable, and she adores human attention. Scout has an intuitive grasp of how to fit in a human lap–no matter how tight the space or awkward the position! Despite being the largest of our Cockers, she is very gentle, and often acts as a peacemaker among her “sisters.” Her best friends are Lily-Cate the toddler, Lacey our buff cocker, and whoever’s lap she’s lounging in at the time! We have seriously considered renting Scout out as a “Therapy Lap-sitter.” Her reassuring weight and gentle, affectionate manners make her the best pick-me-up even on the worst day! Her one flaw is that it can be hard for us to get work done when she’s around–who can resist those sweet puppy-dog eyes? Scout gets along great with creatures of all shapes and sizes, making her a favorite among visiting children. We also utilize her pleasant, mellow nature as a “nanny” for cockapoo puppies in the house, and Scout expertly guides the pups in gentle play and passes along her own life philosophy: "a moment not spent cuddling is a moment wasted". Scout has now been retired to a lucky forever family as a treasured pet!

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
