Meet the breeder

I'm Christine B., the breeder behind Growing Whiskers located in Middle Island, NY. Our dogs are bred to have top qualities that all families want in their puppies, such as compassion, patience, and love! Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!

Q. & A. with Christine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When we adopted our Hava Tzu we were not provided w a lot of resources to help us find a breeder that raised puppies from newborn to 8 weeks the way we wanted. We wanted someone to provide an organic proof home, with integrative vet care. We observed our Hava Tzus great affection and caring towards all people and animals. We adopted a Havanese male and the rest is history. 💙
  • What makes your program special?

    At Growing Whiskers, we have one litter & one breeding pair at a time. Read our blogs on our website about how our integrative/organic program is unique.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
