Meet the breeder
I'm Lauren S., the breeder behind Havanese Of Davie located in Davie, FL. When you welcome a Havanese of Davie pup into your life, you're receiving more than a puppy, you're receiving a little piece of my heart. Thank you for considering one of my precious Havanese puppies. It would be my pleasure to share this beautiful journey with you.
Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
Why I became a breeder you ask? After losing my beloved dog of 14 years, I knew it was time to open my heart to a new fur baby. But finding the right puppy was far from easy. Where do you go? Who can you trust? With so many unanswered questions and scammers out there, the process felt overwhelming. I had heard the heartbreaking stories about pet stores and realized how important it was to meet a puppy’s parents and know where and how they were raised. That experience inspired me to do things differently. I realized I could provide families with a safe, loving, and trustworthy experience while raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with the care and attention they deserve. And so, my journey as a breeder began—with a whole lot of love, a commitment to doing things right, and a desire to help families find the perfect new addition to their homes.What makes your program special?
When you take home a Havanese of Davie puppy, you become part of my family. I love each puppy from the very beginning, and you get to love them for a lifetime. That connection means so much to me! My puppies go to their new homes with a wonderful head start on training, including age-appropriate commands like sitting for treats, come, and give paw. And that’s just the beginning of what these smart little dogs can learn! One of the things I’m most proud of is sending my puppies home potty-trained, well-adjusted, and ready to become part of your family. I put so much love, time, and care into preparing each puppy for a smooth transition into their new home. When you welcome a Havanese of Davie puppy into your life, I hope our connection continues long after you leave with your little one. I absolutely LOVE receiving photo updates and watching my puppies grow, thrive, and bring joy to their families. Once you're part of the Havanese of Davie family, you're always part of it! ❤️Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
