Q. & A. with Ksenia
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to share this wonderful breed with other people. We began our breeder journey by searching for the best champion dog lines and importing them from Europe to Florida, where we started our own breeding program under the mentorship of several top Havanese breeders. At Havanese Loves, we take great pride in raising our puppies in our home with love, attention, and socialization to ensure they develop into well-rounded, healthy dogs.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding dogs undergo all necessary health screenings to ensure they produce healthy, happy puppies that we stand behind with a guarantee.
Our Havanese dogs are not just our pets, but they are also our family members. They are raised in our home with our family. We are dedicated to raising the best Havanese puppies and bringing joy and love to your home just like Lucy brought to ours, and just like Teddy, Coco, and Luna continue to do so.
We strive to match each puppy with the perfect family to ensure a happy and long-lasting relationship between you and your furry companion.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, red sable, chocolate sable, black and tan brindle, and fawn sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
