Happy Valentine's Day, February 14

Today the pups had their final photo shoot.  Families will be coming to bring their new fur family members home this week. We can't believe how quickly these past 7+ weeks have gone by.  We have so enjoyed loving on, playing with, and snuggling these loves.  The pups would like to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day!

Alanis - now Penny, and living in Mansfield, MA!

Avril - now Carly, and living in Scarborough, ME!

Jewel - now Ella, and living in New York, NY!

Fiona - now Cleo, and living in Dayton, ME!

Moby - now Cooper, and living in Brewster, MA!

Tori - now Daisy, and living in Cos Cob, CT!

Pool Full of Cuteness, February 7

The pups turned 6 weeks this past Tuesday. They are playful and silly - enjoying playtime in their pool with a variety of chew toys, stuffies, balls, etc.  All of the pups have mastered the pool steps and enjoy sliding down -but not before enjoying the view from the top (where they can better take in what's going on throughout the house).  You can often find Madi and Summer in the pool playing with the pups and even sharing a chew toy with them.  Their momma Starla loves to frequently check in on her littles - peering over the edge to ensure they're ok and quite often jumping in to give a quick snack.  
Having our pups in the middle of our living room ensures plenty of attention and snuggles from my 4 boys (and myself, I mean how could you not - look at those faces)!  We are enjoying their energy and they keep us on our toes with their antics.

Puppy Playtime, January 18

At 3+ weeks the pups are showing interest in toys and exploring new environments.  It's time to bring the puppy pool out for playtime!  It's fun to watch as the pups begin to move about - going from just wanting to be held or nurse and snuggle with their momma.  Now they perk up at squeaky toys, respond vocally when we shake or rattle toys, and walk over to us when they've tuckered themselves and just want a snuggle.

Name Theme Chosen, January 1

Ok, so maybe I'm letting on to my age with this one.....but, we've decided to name this litter after 90's musical artists.  We've got:
     Avril (Avril Lavigne)
     Alanis (Alanis Morissette)
     Fiona (Fiona Apple)
     Jewel
     Tori (Tori Amos)
     Moby

Alanis (female)

Jewel (female)

Moby (male)

Avril (female)

Fiona (female)

Tori (female)

Merry Christmas!

Starla welcomed her litter of 6 apricot and white pups Christmas Eve morning.  Momma did a fantastic job - whelping 5 girls and 1 boy with no complications and with an apparent ease in just 3 hours.  We are so thankful for a healthy delivery and a healthy and beautiful litter!  Merry Christmas little ones......

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
