Dragonfly Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Lucia B., the breeder behind Dragonfly Kennels located in Connecticut. My husband and I started showing our Afghan Hounds in 1983 and later added our Havanese. For more than 40 years we have been serious contenders in the conformation ring as well as earning top honors on our hounds in obedience and lure coursing.
