Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I’m Jennifer Livermore, Owner of Havana Knights Havanese. I grew up around my grandmother’s dog breeding business and watched all the hard work, dedication and love she put into not only her business but also into the dogs themselves. She spoils her babies even to this day. I can remember my grandfather telling her that if he had the option in his next life, he wanted to come back as one of her dogs… 😂 All joking aside, I have inherited my grandmother’s passion for dogs and am now following in her footsteps. I fell in love with the Havanese breed because they are extremely loving, playful and very easy to train. I am amazed by the intelligence level of this breed! Careful… they just might outsmart you! 🤭😜
What makes your program special?
I have 4 AKC Registered babies named Tuxedo, Tiara, Zaurora and Zeurich. They are very spoiled and want for nothing! 🥰 They spend their daytime hours in a very spacious and boujee kennel where they have access to toys, comfortable beds, outside runs and yes, a radio! (They are BIG fans of The Bobby Bones Show! 🥳) They spend their evenings inside the house with us getting pampered and undergoing LOTS of cuddles! They sleep inside our house in their own cozy, warm and soft beds.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Jazzie, mom
Havanese
About Jazzie
Jazzie is a very sweet, fun-loving dog. She is the daughter of Tuxedo and Tiara. She loves to take off at a dead run to jump in my lap to give kisses. I call these moments “Jazz attacks.” 🤣 She loves to chase and be chased around the yard. Her favorite activity in the fall is rolling around in a pile of leaves. She’s full of energy and makes me laugh with her silly antics.
