“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” – Roger Caras

Anton

Picture
AKC Miniature Poodle Anton lives in Lydia's parents' home, though he officially belongs to my youngest sister, Alee. Nico held himself aloof when Anton first arrived as a punk little puppy, but now the two enjoy chasing the same squeaky ball, and practice doing tricks together for the same treats. Anton loves the lake life and enjoys trips out in the kayak. He is enthusiastic about all of the grandchildren who come to visit and has a very mature sense of how to be gentle with the littlest ones. Anton passes along his spunky but gentle personality, as well as his smarts and dashing good looks to his chocolate and parti-colored offspring!

Paddington

Every sidekick needs a superhero, which is why Paddington and GrandpaSir make such a great team! An AKC Miniature Poodle who tips the scales at 15 pounds, Paddy idolizes his big "brothers" Anton and Nico. He goes to work with GrandpaSir every day and makes sure everyone who walks through the door has a fuzzy day! He adores riding in the truck and is always up for a ride to...anywhere! Paddy's favorite toy is his bacon-flavored Nylabone, and he likes to play fetch, too. Paddington has a perfect Poodle prance - his gait is fun to watch because he just exudes confidence and fun.

Chester

Picture
Paddington's younger brother Chester has officially joined Dutch Haven! Chester is an AKC Miniature Poodle and is the newest member of our family-friends Zack and Laura’s home. He likes you to believe he’s bashful, but don’t be fooled, he is adventurous and loves affectionate attention. He also loves his older brother, Mitty, a rescue Brittney Spaniel. They have quickly become inseparable and do everything together. They sleep in the same bed and love going for rides in the truck together. (Chester claims the best seat!) So long as his big brother Mitty is there, Chester loves taking walks, dashing through fall leaves, and lounging by the fireplace. Chester is a Canine Good Citizen (AKC CGC) and has also earned his AKC Community Canine award.

Henry

Henry Bear is a long-legged AKC red miniature poodle, full of spunk and spirit! Henry lives with friends of the McLaughlins down the street, where he gets to play and hang out with his two human brothers and sister. When he’s not at home with his favorite people, Henry enjoys visiting the McLaughlin’s house, where he can race his favorite canine friends Muffet and Sunny in their big yard! We look forward to meeting Henry’s Cockapoo puppies this year, and he will surely pass on his fun-loving, comical personality to his offspring!

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
