"Highly recommend Dutch Haven Dogs! We got our second cockapoo puppy there in October, and he is an absolute sweetheart who came to us well-prepared for training and socialization. Lydia, Catie, and Tori were all so responsive to my questions and provided tons of great tips and resources. Our first cockapoo was also from Dutch Haven, and is now 6 years old. Both dogs are great with people, love to play, and are a wonderful part of our family. We wouldn’t use any other breeder!" Kelley, Newmarket, NH (Nabisco & Nico, June 2016; Bo Peep & Anton, July 2022)

"Absolutely the best decision we have ever made!!!! Lydia and Barbie were professional, friendly, and helpful every step of the way. Our 6mo Cockapoo is an absolute JOY! She is smart, sweet, curious, and tolerant family dog. She is a perfect addition to our family. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Dutch Haven!" Sarah, Dover, NH (Buttercup & Paddington, Jan. 2022)

"The process was super smooth and we were guided step by step as we were nervous because Matcha was going to be our first puppy. Matcha has been the best decision we have ever made...she loves to explore, she loves to play, she loves to be outside and go to the dog park, she loves every dog regarding that they love her back or not, she loves every single person, during our walks she always want to stop and say hi to everybody. She is fearless and she is always down for some playtime. Dutch Haven Cockapoos are so gorgeous that people often ask us where we get Matcha from and then the people proceed to fall in love with her because of her cool personality.
We 1000% recommend them, they are simply the best." Carlos, Boston, MA (Charlie & Anton, Dec. 2023)

"I am BEYOND happy with my experience bringing Hazel to my home from Dutch Haven. My sister had gotten her dog from DH so I knew I was in good/trusted hands. Hazel came home with me in June 2020. She is my first ever pet and Lydia was very quick to respond and knowledgeable with all of my questions. She took the time to get to know me and was therefore able to match me with just the right pup. It is obvious that the pups get top-notch care and socialization being raised with a family. Hazel came home almost completely house trained too!! Her best friends are her cousins Otis and Ruby also from DH! She is cuddly, sweet, playful and smart. She brings so much JOY to my life and I have DH to thank for a seemless and stress free experience." Stephanie, Berlin, MA (Summer & Anton, Jun. 2020)

"I wanted to thank Dutch Haven dog for breeding some of the mostly lovely cockapoo puppies you could ever ask for. We adopted from them almost 5 years ago and Summer has been the love of our household ever since. She has such a wonderful disposition and anyone that meets her falls in love with her. She is beautiful, sweet, well behaved and my little shadow. I can't say enough nice things about working with Dutch Haven Dogs. We now have 3 other dogs in walking distance from our house that are from Dutch Haven Dogs and we all agree that if you want a well behaved, well appointed cockapoo they are the breeder to go to. They are kind, honest families that love and care for their dogs and it shows through and through with each dog they breed." Pamela, Andover, MA (Izzie & Nico, Aug. 2015)

"We had a great experience working with the team at Dutch Haven Dogs. They were always responsive, informative and highly professional. This was our family's first puppy, and they made the process so easy for us. At four months old, this little guy has adapted to our busy lifestyle visiting with friends (and other dogs), going to the beach and hiking in the mountains...he loves it all!" Matt, Hampton Falls, NH (Charlotte & Anton, Feb. 2021)

"We are so lucky to have found Dutch Haven for our breeder. They are the best - responsible, loving, thoughtful! Great communication and so patient and kind. You can feel how much they care about what they do. We love our dog so much and often get stopped on the street asking where we got her because she has such a sweet and outgoing disposition! Our pup Jane is smart, athletic and oh so lovable! She’s up for any adventure and always there to give hugs and kisses when one of my kids gets hurt ❤️. She’s the perfect size to go on long hikes or pick up and cuddle with on the couch! We couldn’t ask for a better pup!! I know that a lot of the credit goes to the breeders picking such great moms and dads and then also the incredible socialization they do with the puppies in their first 8 weeks of life. Thank you Dutch Haven!!" Iris, Concord, MA (Maisy & Anton, Mar. 2020)

"We had a wonderful experience with Lydia and Destiny at Dutch Haven Dogs when we adopted our baby Gracie (initially Sunny after Lake Sunapee) seven years ago. We couldn't be more in love! We really appreciated the opportunity to meet a bunch of puppies at Lydia's house at the beginning of the process, and then to meet Gracie and her brothers and sister at Destiny's house. We take Gracie with us everywhere, she loves everyone, and we are frequently asked for her breeder information. Many thanks to Dutch Haven Dogs for our little girl!"

"When my husband and I decided it was time for us to add a dog to our family we did research for months to find the right place to get our dog from. Due to my allergies we knew we had to get a dog with hair that was more hypoallergenic. We found Dutch Haven and after looking over the webpage and some correspondence we determined this was the best place. Through the process we were constantly kept up to date by Lydia who was willing to answer any questions we had. We were able to let them know what temperament we were looking for having two small children we wanted a loving dog who would play with them as well as able to cuddle with the family on the couch. 3 years later it’s hard to imagine life without “Pine” who is now named Maisie. We have recommended Dutch Haven for anyone we know looking to add a Cockapoo to their home." Stephanie, New Boston, NH (Jade & Anton, Apr. 2018)

"Lydia and her family were exceptionally professional and responsive as a family breeder. All my questions were anticipated and answered, and I brought home a delightfully sweet little teddy bear and clown of a puppy! Basje is now almost 15 months old, strong and healthy as ever."

"We adopted our puppy Eddie from Dutch Haven in June 2020! He is our first dog and Dutch Haven came highly recommended to us by friends. Dutch Haven did not disappoint! Our puppy Eddie is the most wonderful dog! He's loving and friendly and wonderful with our children. He's doing great with his training and we are told often that he has such a wonderful disposition. I can't say enough great things about the care he received as a young pup. Catie and her family took excellent care of him early on and Lydia was so helpful from the beginning to the end of the adoption process! Dutch Haven pups are absolutely worth the wait!!" Carolyn, Brookline, NH (Lacey & Nico, Jun. 2020)

"From start to finish, we had such a positive experience with Dutch Haven! After our initial inquiry, Lydia responded right away with detailed information about the process. She answered all of our questions in a warm and welcoming way. Then came the best part...picking out Splash! He has added so much love to our family and we can't imagine life with him! Splash was easy to train, is so good with children, has the funniest personality, and is happy just doing whatever we are doing on any given day. Best decision we've ever made. Thank you to the Dutch Haven team for bringing Splash into our lives!" Katie, Reading, MA (Cupcake & Nico, Jan. 2020)

"Our experience with Dutch Haven has easily been 100/10. From start to finish, communication was wonderful, the process went smoothly, and best of all, we got our new little best friend out of this experience - our cockapoo is the sweetest, smartest little love imaginable. Just the best temperament and the most wonderful addition to our family. Thank you, Dutch Haven for bringing Calvin into our lives! We are forever grateful for the love, attention, and care you have for our little fur babies, and we’re especially thankful for the ongoing support you offered us when we had questions along the way!" Ilona, Ashland, MA (Lucy & Nico, Feb. 2016)

"I can't express how much our family loves our dog Molly and Dutch Haven Dogs. This was our first puppy but Lydia was so helpful with helping us prepare for all the things we would need to help us raise a well-behaved and friendly dog. Molly is a very sweet dog and is friendly to other people and dogs. Lydia did a great job with training her and she was basically potty trained at only 8 weeks old when we brought her home. Molly is definitely the perfect dog for our family and we can't thank Dutch Haven Dogs enough!!!!" Ciara, West Newton, MA (Hanna & Anton, May 2020)

"Maddie has been such a great addition to our family and her sister from the same litter, Millie, spends lots of time at our house! Maddie is such a loving, caring dog ...she was especially loving to my mother who was suffering from end stages of Alzheimer’s disease! She is also amazing with my grandchildren! So grateful to have gotten a puppy from you!" Bonnie, Andover, MA (Starla & Nico, Apr. 2017)

"I didn't know quite what to expect with my first dog, but she has changed our lives forever and I can't imagine our lives without her. Gigi is an absolute love. She is playful, sweet, snuggly, hops like a deer, a good listener, friendly with people and dogs! She loves snow, the beach, leaves, running (deer hopping!) in the cemetery, riding/sleeping in the car and snuggling with her family and stuffed friends which she carries from room to room. Not only do we think she's the cutest dog on the planet, but we are always getting stopped on the street for people to compliment her behavior and disposition. We feel blessed to have been spoiled with such an amazing dog. Thank you for sharing your babies with us!" Amanda, Andover, MA (Lilac & Nico, May 2020)

"Jasper is 24 pounds and has been right at that point for the past couple of years. His most favorite toy is his duck which he has with him always. He loves to play fetch with his ball in the back yard. His activity level is perfect- could easily go on a long walk, and just as happy to lay around all day if we are home relaxing. He loves garbage day because our recycling truck carries milk bones and as soon as he hears the truck he asks to go outside to get a treat from them! I will have to get this on video some day- it is very cute. We love him so much!" Heather, Marblehead, MA (Izzie & Nico, Feb. 2016)

"Ollie has made our family complete! In the warm weather he likes to run on the beach, go hiking, catch bubbles outside (yes, real bubbles), play baseball in the yard, and lie in the sun on his porch! When the cold weather hits he LOVES the snow and has found his own game of stealing our hats right off our heads. No matter the time of year you can find him relaxing on his beanbag chair, watching the squirrels, and squeaking his favorite pink flamingo toy. He is 25 pounds and we couldn’t be more in love with him!" Susan, Andover, MA (Hanna & Nico, Sep. 2016)

"We cannot say enough great things about Dutch Haven Dogs! We adopted our puppy Benny 8 months ago and could not be happier. Lydia and Barbie were responsive with us from the beginning and made our adoption experience a breeze from the initial application, to the selection process and lastly picking up Benny. They truly cared for the dogs, provided us with a bag full of goodies to help Benny settle into his new home, and helped with training processes before we picked him up (potty training, eating schedule and sleeping through the night). He is the friendliest and sweetest puppy, all of our friends and family love him! Thank you to Dutch Haven for the best puppy we could have asked for!!" Christie, Holmdel, NJ (Cupcake & Nico, June 2021)

"I most highly recommend Dutch Haven Dogs. We got our Maisie 2-1/2 years ago. We needed a loving, adaptable puppy who was easy to obedience train as Maisie has to travel by plane several times a year back and forth from coast to coast, with us in the cabin. We found Lydia to be very professional, friendly, and kind. She really knew her dogs and their temperament. The environment was clean and active. The puppies live with the family. They are used to normal daily noises, as well as men and active children. Lydia also crate trains the puppies. This was wonderful as we all slept through the night our first night. Lydia was available if we needed her or had any questions. The fact is she had us so well prepared that we were fine. I will only get a Dutch Haven dog now. Maisie will be 3 in July. She has no health issues and loves to play with people and dogs. She is also great hiker in the white mountains. In short, we love Dutch Haven Dogs. Go, play with the puppies, and see for yourself. I bet you will get chosen too!" Mandy, Plymouth, NH (Hanna & Nico, July 2018)

"Winnie has been a love from the first day we brought her home. She slept through the night in her crate from day one without a peep and potty trained very quickly as well…thanks to the schedule and tips you shared. Winnie is super friendly and adventurous, but cautious when she is unsure of her surroundings. She loves other dogs and her best friend is a 3 year old Australian shepherd, but will defend her ground when needed with her shockingly loud bark!! She loves to play and uses our winter pool cover as a trampoline with all of her toys! She will easily switch gears to snuggle and watch a movie or lie in front of the fireplace. We are so thankful that we found Dutch Haven Dogs and we can’t imagine life without our little Winnie. Thank you so much for all you do to provide such beautiful and well socialized cockapoos.  Winnie has been a great blessing to our family." Christine & John, Lowell, MA (Aurora & Chester, Jan. 2022)

"It seems like just yesterday that you were here delivering Zoe. She’s brought a lot of love and joy to this family. She has definitely inherited her long legs from both parents and loves to jump. The photos after grooming shows how long and tall she is, and at full maturity she is now 24 pounds. Best dog ever! Thanks again for bringing her to us. 😊"

"Billie is one [year old] and still the best. She is a happy, whacky, joyful ball of energy who is eager to learn and curious about everything.  Her training is going well and her socialization continues in high gear. She’s been going to a huge park where dogs are allowed off leash before 9 am. I only take her a couple of times during the week when it’s a bit quieter. Today she was the one chasing the big dogs. Her recall is very dependable but I still let her drag a training lead to be safe. She’s met so many different people who’ve visited and has a huge fan club. The new litters are so cute! But we think Billie is the cutest!" Mary Lee, Little Neck, NY (Aurora & Chester, Sept. 2023)

"As for “all grown up” updates, one word: Kids! This pup is so beloved by our family... AND the family next door (she only runs off if she hears them in their backyard and is always welcomed as “their dog too”.)  AND several of the neighborhood kids (one 9-year old telling me his family might get a Cockapoo, though this was a surprise to his parents when I inquired! The dad has started asking me more about Maisy when we’re out walking, so the kid just might be on to something...) We feel so lucky that Maisy had interacted with a family before coming to ours, helping develop her sweet, family friendly nature from the very beginning! Note these pics prior to her big summer haircut- she’s not always this furry, but we are convinced she is part muppet!" Carolyn, Lexington, MA (Lilac & Nico, May 2020)
