I'm Stephanie B., the breeder behind 3 Bs Havanese-PUPPIES with PURPOSE located in Lancaster, SC. With 18 years of experience, we have a strong reputation and great breeding program. Our pups are super socialized with our kids and cats.
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
We were looking for a non shedding dog who would be great with children. We only had outdoor pets when I was growing up. Then we found the delightful havanese breed! Once we felt led to adopt our first child and realized the cost involved, we decided to start breeding our havanese to help with the expenses. This has led to an 18 year ministry of helping families adopt & helping vulnerable kids.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are raised as part of the family and the funds go directly to helping with our girls transition home or grants which help families adopt children.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, white, chocolate, black and tan, and gold sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Muffin is an angel and is a super sweet, affectionate, and friendly puppy. He is learning fast, goes potty like a champ, and sleeps through most of the nights in the crate. At 15 weeks, he already knows how how to run up and down 3 flights of stairs, fetch the ball, and today he lifted his leg for the first time going potty.

Stephanie was wonderful to work with on our puppy journey. It was clear from the start how much she cared for the puppies and wanted them to thrive. She answered endless questions and always responded to me. Her flexibility and helpfulness with us picking up our puppies was great. She also went the extra mile bringing our little one to the vet last minute in case she had a cold. Both our sweet girls are healthy and happy and we feel so good helping Stephanie’s charity. She’s just wonderful!

We had a great experience getting our puppy from Stephanie. She patiently answered our questions, sent pictures when requested and arranged to have one of her daughters fly Theo to us in NJ, which went off without a hitch. Theo has been a joy (tiring but a lot of fun!) - he is full of energy, healthy, loves meeting new people and other dogs. Our vet has said he is super healthy and he loves to eat so he is growing a lot! Anyone who is looking for a well socialized, healthy dog can’t go wrong with getting one from Stephanie.

Stephanie was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to have my puppy transported to me for a very reasonable fee. The puppy himself has been a delight, well socialized, happy and healthy.

Working with Stephanie was a pleasure. She had answers for all my questions. I could tell immediately upon meeting her that she really cares sbout the breed. As a first time dog owner, this was a great experience. The puppy is healthy and so far lives up to what we had read about the breed. We took him to the vet snd she said he was “ perfect”. We agree!!!!
