    I had the distinct pleasure of adopting my Havanese dog, formerly named Sequoia and now called Hatuey (pronounced ah-too-ey), from Dori. I truly believe Hatuey is a blessing in my life. From the moment he entered my home, he has brought immense joy, companionship, and warmth. He is remarkably intelligent, full of personality, and enjoys spending time with my family and me. Hatuey fits seamlessly into our household and has brought love into our lives. Hatuey is also a looker and knows just how handsome he is! Throughout the entire adoption process, Dori demonstrated the utmost professionalism. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and compassionate, taking the time to address all of my questions thoroughly. Additionally, she provided invaluable tips on caring for a Havanese, which facilitated a smooth and worry-free transition. Dori has a deep commitment to her dogs and the families they join. I wholeheartedly recommend Dori. Thanks to her, I now have a truly remarkable companion in Hatuey—an extraordinary dog who has already made a significant impact on my life.

    Dori is a remarkable pet parent and a great breeder. Heavenly Havanese is exactly the type of breedervthat you want to get your puppies from. Home raised, carefully monitored, and well adjusted pups makes a most pleasant transitional experience for both the pups and new owners. Hawthorn (now Bailey) Sequoia and siblings are super smart, well adjusted pups. Which one to pick was difficult because the pup's eyes alone will grab your heart. You couldn't pick a better litter to pick a pup from so don't miss out on Sequoia if he's available for adoption!
