    This little bundle of fur and energy is such a joy! I would recommend Eclair’s Havanese and Kelly was great to work with. Jazzy is starting to grasp the idea of potty training, now I need to focus on obedience.

    We were so fortunate to happen upon EClair’s Havanese. After we had communicated with several scammers on FB, I google searched “Havanese near Eau Claire” ( which is where we live) EClair’s Havanese popped up which is located in Independence IA. They were legit! I contacted Kelly by messenger and explained our story and what we were searching for in our furry family member. She shared her phone number, immediately. I called and we spoke for several minutes. She was very accommodating. We drove 4.5 hours the next day, to meet the litter and chose our girl. We named her Darby. It was and will continue to be a wonderful experience. Kelly deeply cares for her furry family and the forever homes they are going to. So a random google search had a very happy ending ( and beginning) Dan and Kathy

    We couldn't be happier with our little Lola. She has been the perfect addition to our family. Kelly was wonderful from start to finish! It is very apparent how much she cares for her puppies and wants to see them with loving families.
