California Havanese and Bichons
Meet the breeder
I'm Adrienne H., the breeder behind California Havanese and Bichons located in Colfax, CA. Nestled on twelve wooded acres in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, we are dedicated to breeding beautiful, affectionate, playful, and healthy AKC Havanese and Bichon companions.
Q. & A. with Adrienne
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up on a small farm, I am very familiar with caring for animals. We raised cows, goats, llamas, chickens, geese, and turkeys. We enjoyed our pet cats and a retired Shetland pony. We bred AKC Cocker Spaniels. Caring for animals has been an important part of my life.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in a warm and wholesome environment filled with affection and laughter. They love to be cuddled and kissed. We are often asked by friends and new owners how we can bear to part with our sweet puppies. Our children take pictures of each puppy just prior to them going home and write about what they loved about that particular puppy. This helps with the separation.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

“The “pet price” (which doesn’t include breeding rights) for a puppy is $4000. A puppy is reserved with a $900 deposit, and in the order of deposits received. The balance of the price is paid when you pick up your puppy. The deposit is refundable until you have committed to a puppy that has been born.”
