I'm Kathey M., the breeder behind Canyon Hills Havanese located in Nokomis, FL. I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I take responsible breeding very seriously. I along with my family are experienced breeders of small pups for over 35 years and have been breeding Havanese for 22 years.
Q. & A. with Kathey
Why did you start breeding?
I lived by an older lady that bred and showed Yorkies – she had Winner Ribbons all over her walls. I just wanted to be just like her and have the best dogs. She was my inspiration.
What makes your program special?
My pups are health guaranteed. Havanese Dogs are sturdy little family pets. I also offer Chocolate Havanese. Havanese are also known as Havana Silkdogs. It would be a pleasure to help you find your next companion.

Elbow Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
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.
DNA Disease Panel
