Beautiful Cocker Spaniel Moms

"Whoever said DIAMONDS are a girl's best friend... must never have had a DOG!"

Amethyst (Amy)

Amethyst (Amy), an AKC Cocker Spaniel from Dutch Haven Dogs--daughter of Hanna and Champion sire Captain, and littermate to Hazel and Honey.
AKC Cocker Spaniel Amethyst is the proud result of breeding our own special girl Hanna with Champion sire Captain, and she's a littermate sister of Hazel and Honey. We were so excited to welcome Amy to our family and were thrilled with the privilege of raising her up in the way she should go. She is a delight, playing with our kids, growing up side-by-side with our kitten, and taking her role of annoying the older dogs very seriously. We are so proud of her beauty and charm as she's matured, and look forward to her fulfilling her potential as she passes her lovely temperament and good looks along to the next generation!

Charlie

Charlie, a brown, white, and tan AKC Cocker Spaniel from Dutch Haven Dogs--sporty, athletic, and striking with freckles and darker ears.
Gorgeous and glamorous, Miss Charlie is a brown, white, and tan supermodel. Her freckles and darker ears make for a striking appearance. With longer legs than some Cocker Spaniels, she is sporty and athletic. She walks nicely on her leash, and loves to explore the neighborhood with the kids. When she greets the neighbors, she is well-mannered but eager. And she always says hello to the Amazon driver with great enthusiasm! Charlie's absolute favorite treat is scrambled eggs (made specially with no seasonings for our mama doggies!) Charlie joined our family this summer, and has settled in quite well with the family. She loves to snuggle on the couch, but has a hard time deciding which kid to sit on!

Clover

Clover, a sweet young Cockapoo puppy from Dutch Haven Dogs--captured at just a few weeks old, showing her soft coat and gentle, curious expression.
When our beautiful girl Lilac grew close to retirement age, we knew we'd want to keep her line going. Welcome Clover and her sister Periwinkle! Clover has spent her puppyhood growing up alongside Laura's little boy Judah and their well-mannered Miniature Poodle Chester. These three have no end of adventures as they roam their lovely hilltop woodlands homestead. Clover has passed all of her health certifications and we can't wait to meet her first litter of puppies due in late Summer 2025!

Cocoa

Picture
AKC Cocker Spaniel Cocoa is a beautiful girl who enjoyed a pampered existence with a small show-breeder before joining Lydia's family. Cocoa advanced all the way to Prominent Champion status with her lovely conformation and show ring poise! Now happily ensconced in our family, Cocoa never misses a lap opportunity - any time we sit down, she's quick to join us, whether it's on the floor, on the couch, or on the bed. Cocoa is happy going out to play with her doggy sisters, but she never steps far from our sides, and she likes to stay pretty close to the house. She does have a thing for stray socks, so we've been trying to help the kids remember to put their socks in the hamper!

Daisy

Picture
Daisy is the first Cocker Spaniel that the Olstads raised from a puppy and we have been enjoying this sweet girl as our beloved pet as we eagerly anticipate meeting her puppies! She is an AKC purebred Cocker Spaniel with champion lines and a gorgeous curly red roan coat. Brought home in the middle of a fierce winter storm, during the pandemic, she is a bit shy of strangers and new things at first, but warms up quickly and will try to be as close to you as possible once she loves you! Daisy is often at my feet in the kitchen and we can not open a bag of shredded cheese without first giving her a small sprinkle. She is also my favorite morning lap buddy as I sip coffee and prepare for the day. My 4 daughters love to play fetch with her outside and she absolutely loves walks! The more squirrels and birds she can scare away makes her feel like she is quite the hunter! She and her "sister" Luna love to play tug with the same rope toy, and she has been so gentle with other litters we have had! This sweet girl is ready to graduate from auntie to momma!

Honey

Picture
AKC Cocker Spaniel Honey is the proud result of breeding our wonderful girl Hanna with Champion sire Captain, and is littermate sister to Amy and Hazel. She lives with Janna's family in Nebraska and has grown through the puppy days as a companion to elderly sister Sophie the Dachshund. For Honey, ball is life, and she is always up for a game of fetch!

Indigo

Picture
AKC Cocker Spaniel Indigo (Indie) is full of fun and enthusiasm. She loves to bounce around the house as though she's the energizer bunny, and keeps us laughing with her antics! Indie lives with Lydia's family and gets along great with the kids and other dogs. She is very treat motivated and when we move a hand towards the treat jar she's on high alert for how to earn a little nibble!

Luna

Picture
Dutch Haven's Luna Bear is a beautiful black, white, and tan lady with champion Cocker Spaniels on both sides of the family. She and her sister Obi, who is part of the Groen family, are both from one of our now-retired mommas, Milly. Luna has been part of the Olstad family since puppyhood and she and "sister" Daisy are best of friends, unless one of them gets groomed without the other, but they quickly make up and are best buddies again. Luna is quite acrobatic, and will catch any toy thrown to her, sometimes with a twist midair! She can never pass a lap without a quick snuggle. Although a bit wary of strangers, she loves her own people fiercely. We are so looking forward to meeting her puppies!

Maisy Mae

Picture
Maisy Mae is quite the snuggle bug and has played an important role in Stephanie's life as she made the transition to an "empty nester" when her youngest went off to college. This buff AKC Cocker Spaniel will, without hesitation, interrupt any work in progress in order to get the attention she deserves. Her happy places are in the car with her head out the window, and in any willing lap. When she's outside, she's all about the smells. Her tracking instincts kick in and she'll criss-cross the yard to follow her target. Maisy Mae loves long walks through the neighborhood and on the trails, or a quick play date at the dog park. One of her best buddies is Bella, a teddy-bear mix who frequently meets up for walks together. Her favorite treat is a kibble-filled, peanut butter-topped Kong - yum!

Mindy

Picture
AKC Cocker Spaniel Mindy is a gentle soul and a pleasure to have padding around at my heels. She is very laid back and doesn't jump up or bark. While she doesn't care much about toys or balls, she'll do almost anything for extra petting! Her mellow personality makes her easy to have around and we're very glad to have her as part of our home in the Lapointe family.

Obsidian (Obi)

Picture
Obi has been the delight of Joe & Lydia's household since puppyhood. Willow our Lab immediately adopted her as a daughter and Obi faithfully follows her "mama" around on every adventure. Her favorite toy is her stuffed bunny, and she can often be found snuggled up with her ropey friend; but she is generally happy to interject herself into any game of fetch, chase, or tug. Every shape and size of treat is welcome in Obi's mouth, and she is a faithful attendant whenever we open the dishwasher in case there are any dishes that need a "pre-rinse". Still, her love for outdoor escapades keeps her from gaining any extra ounces. With champion Cocker Spaniels on both sides of the family, this lovely lady is a great blend of desirable physical and personality traits and Lydia loves having her as a little shadow!

Periwinkle

Picture
When our beautiful girl Lilac grew close to retirement age, we knew we'd want to keep her line going. Welcome Periwinkle and her sister Clover! Peri has grown up as a goofy member of our busy household, which includes several Cocker Spaniels, a black Lab, our indoor-outdoor cat, a small flock of chickens, and a leopard gecko (not to mention 5 kids, of course!) Adventures abound on our large property, and Peri loves following our adult dogs around, is fascinated by the chickens but respects our rooster, and shares a mutual love-tussle relationship with our kitty. We expect Peri will welcome her first litter of pups in the fall of 2025 and we can't wait to meet her puppies!

S'more

Picture
When this adorable girl originally came to our family with a different name, our kids took one look at her and decided she looked so much like one of their favorite treats they just had to call her S'more! The name fits this fun-loving pup in more than just her outward appearance - she loves s'more playtime, s'more toys, s'more treats, and s'more love! She has lots of energy for all kinds of fun, and an endless attention span for all kinds of affection. Her enthusiasm for life is infectious and we're sure her puppies will carry her best qualities forward into their lives!

What Our Clients Are Saying

Picture
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
