I'm Jill S., the breeder behind Havanese With Love Breeding Co. located in Arlington, WA. Our family-run dog breeding program operates from our home, where our dogs live as part of the family. We prioritize health testing to ensure our breeding pairs are healthy. Specializing in hypoallergenic breeds, we educate families, ensuring everyone can enjoy the companionship of a dog.
Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
Anyone who knows me knows I love dogs. I began showing and breeding with my champion Leonberger, Desperados Action Jackson. When my son became severely allergic to dogs, I turned to hypoallergenic breeds like poodles, Havanese, and doodles. Since 2020, I've focused on breeding happy and healthy low to non shedding dogs.
What makes your program special?
We combine a family-centered approach with a commitment to health and allergy education. Our dogs live in home, ensuring they are well-socialized and loved. We conduct health testing on all breeding pairs to guarantee the best start for our puppies. Specializing in hypoallergenic breeds, we educate families, making dog ownership accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, red sable, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Jill is so kind and truly loves her dogs. She takes such good care of them. She's very easy to talk to, and has answered my many questions and sent me pictures often. I was invited to her home to meet my puppy. Mama Dixie is an exceptionally sweet dog. She is so gentle and watches over her babies well. If you pet her she just leans right into you. The puppies were kept in a clean environment, with toys. They are handled all the time. They are kept in a pen in the living room near a cozy wood stove. They are exposed to so many things including nail trimming. I feel so lucky I found Jill and was able to get a little sweet puppy from Dixie. I highly recommend Jill. You won't regret it!
