Endearing Havanese
- Amelia Island, FL
Meet the breeder
I'm Marcia T., the breeder behind Endearing Havanese located in Amelia Island, FL. I obtained my first Havanese in 2016. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a puppy mill puppy. I fell in love with the breed regardless: my pet was happy, funny and magical. Sadly, he was very sick the first year. As a result, I am dedicated to breeding healthy, well socialized Havanese puppies.
Q. & A. with Marcia
Why did you start breeding?
When I obtained my beloved pet in 2016, I bought him online. I once purchased a house online, often purchase a car online and many of my consumer goods obtained with a mouse click! Unfortunately, my lovely pet was sick the first year. The experience was something that catapulted my entry into the dog world: my goal to breed healthy and well socialized dogs.What makes your program special?
One of my puppy owners contacted me soon after taking her puppy back with her to Amelia Island. She said, "This dog has changed my life!" That is exactly what a dog will do, if the puppy is the right fit for your personality and household. I want to enhance human lives by breeding great dogs. I have crystalized my vision of what I wanted in my breeding program: jolly personality, excellent health, and beauty that respects the breed standard.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, silver, black, silver sable, gold sable, black and silver, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

For someone looking for a pure-bred Havanese, I would certainly recommend this breeder. I had lots of questions about the pup and the kennel. They were answered swiftly, honestly, and with candor. Everything we were told would happen did happen. This kennel certainly checks the boxes for a good breeder. The dog is a wonderful creature! He is a very sweet boy who minds the humans in the house and his adopted canine sister. Our vet confirmed that his health is very good and noted how soft his fur is. I ❤️ this little guy.
