Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
When I met a Havanese for the first time, I fell in love. I knew I wanted to show and later decided to breed these wonderful little dogs. After my first litter, I was hooked! Havanese puppies are just irresistible.
What makes your program special?
We offer special puppies for special people. We show our dogs to set our breeding standard. This insures you receive a qualty puppy with all the true characteristics of the Havanese breed. We only have one or two litters per year. We breed for health, temperament, structure and coat.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, cream, red, silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
