Q. & A. with Jan
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to us that we not only continue our own phenomenal bloodlines, but that we are improving this breed with each litter and are ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
What makes your program special?
We are passionate about Havanese and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of our program. Because this breed is so rare, we are preservation breeders in the sense that we strive to better the Havanese and continue our lines. Our involvement in the show world and our focus on conformation are what sets our program at the front of the pack. We do not breed our dogs unless they are fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
