Meet the breeder
I'm Deirdre H., the breeder behind Dearheart Havanese located in Warrenton, VA. My dogs live in my home and puppies are well socialized. I take puppy placement very seriously. I want my puppies to go to homes where they will be given the attention, love, and care they deserve. I am always available to puppy families with any questions or concerns they may have. My breeding dogs have been extensively health tested to ensure they will produce the healthiest puppies.
