Indian Spring?! 2.23.22 

It was SO warm and beautiful outside today, it was perfect for an outing for the puppies! Add some cousins plus some friends coming for a visit, and it was the recipe for a perfect (and tiring!) day for Thor and the other Super Marvelous Pups.
Just look at Thor's perfect heart-shaped nose!!! He's a big boy; 6 lb, 4 oz!

Groundhog Day! 2.2.22

Apparently that silly groundhog saw his shadow. But Thor doesn't mind if that means there's 6 more weeks of snuggling in his future!
Thor - 3lb, 14oz - will be joining his Dutch Haven brother Tedy in North Reading, MA! Looks like Thor may be renamed Luca by his human big sister!

Chilling with Abraham 1.24.22

Thor's eyes are officially open, but not for long! He couldn't quite stay awake and watch Abraham play Minecraft on his tablet. After all, when you're snuggled up on the couch near your warm mommy a nap is almost inevitable!

Happy New Year! Sunday, January 2

We're so happy to announce Sweetie has had her very first puppy! She's been a loving "auntie" many times over, and this time it was finally her turn!

Throughout her pregnancy, we made sure to pamper her with vitamins and lots of belly rubs! During her ultrasound and x-ray examinations we were surprised to see that she only had one puppy. But the timing worked out perfectly with Cupcake's and Buttercup's litters that this little one wouldn't be an "only child" but instead grow up with lots of other "cousins" to play with!

As her due date approached, the veterinarian warned us that she might have trouble getting labor started - the fewer puppies vying for room in the womb, the less hormones released and fewer contractions. We scheduled a consultation for January 2, and one last ultrasound. Puppy looked ready to go, and quite plump!

Sweetie had a non-eventful c-section to help with her little giant puppy, who turned out to be a beautiful buff boy! He tipped the scales at 11 ounces at birth! (For comparison, most of our cockapoos are between 6-9 ounces!) He has been growing steadily and already loves snuggling with Cupcake's two babies for milk-sharing visits. (He's not much smaller than them, even though he's a week younger!)

In keeping with our Super Marvelous Puppies name theme, this little one shall be named Thor (the god of thunder, son of Odin, ruler of Asgard). Thor is a pale buff color, but he also has visible white markings - forehead star, chest, and paws.

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
