Meet the breeder

I'm Michael and Melissa B., the breeder behind Hashtag Havenese located in Cadwell, GA. We are a small breeder family that has four dogs residing with us inside our home. Our Havenese are keep inside as companions. It's our belief receiving puppies from a small dog family of four such as ours is a good indication of healthy, trained and loved puppies from the beginning.

Q. & A. with Michael and Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got into breading because many of friends and family have fallen in love with our companions and have requested one. We believe our companions having puppies can be a natural and healthy part of their lives even if we don't have the space to keep anymore puppies. We believe sharing our puppies with other families like ours would be healthier than other options.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our dogs are loved and live in our home along with our teenaged children. This gives my puppies many social advantages and a healthier start to their lives than others. We strive to place our puppies in proper homes that will provide the same love are health care that we give our two dams and sir. We understand the limits that should be placed on breading and the care that needs to be provided.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white, gold, chocolate, and fawn sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
