I'm Diana W., the breeder behind Happy Havi Tails located in Kansas City, MO. We just adore Havanese and can't wait to share our love for them with you! We are passionate breeders and are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding practices. We do all that we can to make sure our pups get the best care and go to the best homes!
Q. & A. with Diana
Why did you start breeding?
When I had my children I wanted them to grow up with a dog. They both had terrible allergies, so my hunt for the perfect dog began! I'm a dog lover and as a child I would even check out a book at the library frequently about AKC dog breeds. So, I was surprised I had never heard of havanese before (they're a newer breed to akc so it wasn't in that book). Anyways, bought a havanese and fell in love!
What makes your program special?
We're a daughter/mother team. Because our dogs are our pets first and we're just a small in home service, we only have 1-2 litters/year. My puppies are raised in my home, with plenty of space that I expand as they grow. They're also litter box trained. They're handled every single day and are socialized with my children, some friends & family. Most of all, we care and we love what we do!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, white, chocolate, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
