Meet the breeder
I'm Mary L., the breeder behind Amor Havanese located in Yuba City, CA. I reside in California and have been breeding home-raised Havanese since 1999! My dogs are the sweetest addition to any family! I focus on breeding healthy, happy Havanese from health-tested parents. I am a breeder of Merit and pride myself in placing well-socialized puppies into caring homes. I love to mentor and show dogs!
Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
I started with a St Bernard my mother bought me in 1970. I so wanted to show, but she was not of quality which I found out the hard way. I started attending seminars and soaking up as much knowledge on dogs as I could. St Bernards did not work out for me but was an invaluable learning experience that helped get me to where I am now!What makes your program special?
I work hard to breed the best dogs possible using good bloodlines and health-tested dogs. I follow all the steps to raising well-socialized puppies and prioritize staying connected to each family that welcomes on of my puppies into their home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
