Q. & A. with Lilian

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been around animals most of my life and fell in love with the unique beauty of Havana Silk Dog. I am a preservationist breeder striving to maintain and improve upon the unique qualities the breed has to offer. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
  • What makes your program special?

    The puppies in my program begin socialization early. I cater to the needs of my puppies and foresee their potential as intelligent and fast learners. I take time to teach manners so they have a better chance at an easy transition into their new homes. I am very dedicated to what I do. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for my dogs and breeding line.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include gold sable, gold, fawn, cream, black and tan, black, and red sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Lilian has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her passion and deep knowledge of Havana Silk Dogs are immediately clear, and she took the time to educate me about this unique breed, including its history and lineage. I know she will continue to be an invaluable resource for us moving forward. What truly sets Lilian apart is the level of care and dedication she has for her dogs. She is incredibly thoughtful in placing her puppies, taking the time to learn about you and your lifestyle to ensure the best possible match. When you are chosen as a good fit, you truly feel welcomed into her extended family. She has been patient, responsive, and consistently available to answer all of my questions—always getting back to me promptly. I am so grateful to have found someone so honest, experienced, and genuinely caring in my search for a companion. I would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Lilian to anyone. If I ever decide to add another furry family member, she will be the very first person I call.
