I'm Jackie H., the breeder behind Bella Dulce located in Hillsboro, VA. We have been involved with Havanese and breeding and showing sound and healthy dogs and loved pets since 2004. Our Havanese puppies are the result of carefully planned litters descending from generations of fully health tested dogs. Havanese are sturdy dogs that display a happy and joyful temperament, elegance, and are charming, gentle, happy, and playful.

Havanese
About Pearl
Pearl is a very sweet dog that we kept from our last litter with Patience. She is bold, cooperative, and exuberant about life. She is skilled with being able to keep herself entertained with toys for extended periods of time. She is a compact girl that has a gorgeous coat, a playful, easy going temperament, and a loving personality. Since she has grown up on the farm with animals, she is both confident and sweet with them. She is a joy to have with us.
Havanese
About Noble
Noble is our Havanese stud that is sweet, mellow, playful with all of the adult dogs, and very fond of young puppies and farm animals. Although he enjoys interacting with everyone in our family, he is a 'momma's boy' with a special place in his heart for Jackie. We are blessed with our sweet boy. He fills our life each day with joy through his kind nature, unmatched athletic ability to fetch 'balls', mild mannerism with people and animals, kind nature, fondness and devotion with all puppies, and wisdom. One puppy family long ago described him as a "wise old man". He seems to know exactly what each person, dog, or puppy nees and delivers with such finesse. Noble is everything we hoped for in a Havanese stud plus so much more!
Havanese
About Joy
Joy traces back to our foundation to our very first Havanese, Liliana whose legacy will live on through generations of Havanese. Joy takes after her mother, Charlotte and grandmother, Cloe regarding intelligence. She is able to open doors by pushing with her paws and nose, and takes delight in opening pocket doors. Joy is athletic, adores any 'baby' animal, excels as a wonderful puppy 'play mate', and also serves as an excellent role model for young dogs. She is a joyful, funny, kind, and good natured girl.

About Maeli
Maeli is a funny, happy go lucky, good natured girl with boundless enthusiasm for life. She is a beautiful dog with a happy disposition. She has an athletic nature and excels with games of endless 'fetch'. She enjoys enticing the other dogs with games of 'chase'. Maeli is a funny, happy go lucky, good natured girl with boundless enthusiasm for life.

About Milosz
Milosz is our Havanese stud that is best described as an absolute delight. We were cautious in selecting a puppy that had big paws to fill as our stud Noble is perfection in every way. We are thankful to Anna Szczepaniak from Almendares Kennel in Poland for entrusting us with him. Milosz easily earned his AKC Championship. He is a wonderful dog full of personality, silly antics, and sweetness. Although he enjoys interacting with everyone in our family, he is also a 'momma's boy' with a special place in his heart for Jackie. We are grateful for our sweet, silly, and loving boy. Milosz is best 'buddies' with Noble, often looking up to him and following his cues. He also has a close bond with our Standard poodle puppy, Elli. Milosz enjoys picking up her leash, tugging on it, and dancing in an effort to entice her into playing with him. Milosz fills our life each day with joy through his kind and loving nature, silly antics, and laid back mannerism. We look forward to producing beautiful puppies with our special boy.
