And they're off! 11.9.24

We've had a great 8 weeks with S'more's Pasta Puppies and as always, it's been a privilege to invest into these early days of their lives. We're excited to see them going out into the world to spread smiles wherever they go!

Can't wait to meet our families! 10.22.24

The Pasta pups are starting to each develop their own unique personalities and it's a pleasure to see! We're doing personality profiling on the pups this week and will introduce them to their new families this weekend. We're looking forward to helping people and puppies make a GREAT match!
Macaroni - he'll be called Finn by his new family in Andover, MA!
Fettuccine - his new family in North Andover, MA is calling him Biscuit!
Ravioli - her new family in Suffield, CT has renamed her Becky!
Rigatoni - will be answering to Sunday and calling Toronto, Ontario her new home!
Linguine - will be going home to Danielson, CT with the new name Finley!
Gnocchi - his new family lives in Freeport, ME and they've named him Chip!

Look who's walking! 10.12.24

S'more's Pasta puppies have been looking around for two weeks now, and they started toddling a week ago. They're fairly well balanced on all four paws now, and they're starting to wrestle with each other (though they're still mystified by the concept of toys). It was a busy day at the "puppy spa" in our kitchen sink, as the pups were each bathed then snuggled dry, toenails trimmed, and a little snip around the eyes to keep the view of the world unimpeded. We wrapped up the day with a little photo shoot. Fortunately, we interspersed all of that activity with several naps and of course some snuggle time with mama. At the end of the day we had a pleasant puddle of happy puppies.

What a Dish! 9.25.24

We're still eagerly watching and waiting for when the puppies open their eyes (should be this weekend!) but in the meantime the whole little family is growing pleasantly plump and sturdy. Everything is going smoothly, they're all receiving daily Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and thriving and getting cuter every day. Life is good here!

A Pot full of Puppies! September 14, 2024

This is S'more's second litter and she delivered her babies like a pro! The pups were all born very similar in size (so no worries about a runtling, which is nice), they are enthusiastic nursers, and S'more is very sweet and tender in her care for them, carefully nudging them into better positions to get the best access to her milk!

Again playing off of mama's name, I was thinking about what I like "s'more" of...so the name theme for these puppies is PASTA! We have so many yummy options - Linguine, Macaroni, Ravioli, Fettuccine, Tortelloni, Gnocchi, Manicotti, and more... We'll assign a name for each puppy in the next day or two (these decisions are always opportunity for spirited debate in our family!) 

4 boys - cream with white, apricot with white, apricot & white parti, blue merle & white parti
2 girls - medium apricot with white, light apricot with white

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
