Hermosa Havanese and Golden Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Natasha L., the breeder behind Hermosa Havanese and Golden Retrievers located in Carlisle, OH. We only breed occasionally, so that when we do, we can produce the healthiest, happiest, most well rounded puppies. All of our dogs are AKC champions and are fully health tested based on the recommendations of our national breed clubs. We raise our puppies using Puppy Culture.
Q. & A. with Natasha
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first show dog when I was 14 years old, and have been exhibiting and breeding in the 20 years since! I began with Havanese and spent years studying and becoming an expert in them, but had always wanted a Golden as well. I began showing Goldens in 2021 and I bred my first Golden litter this year.What makes your program special?
My goal with every litter is to produce dogs that are quintessential of their breed. While we show our dogs, not every puppy in a litter is a show dog, so I believe it is of the utmost importance to produce dogs that are health - both mentally and physically- and are adequately equipped to co-exist in a human world. Health, Temperament, and Type are the three things we most value.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Golden Retriever puppies are golden. Havanese puppies include black and white, white, cream, black, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Charlie
Charlie is a calm, collected, laid back Golden who wants nothing more than to make her people happy! She is an AKC Grand Champion and is currently in training to be a Therapy dog. Even though she's calm, she still has plenty of energy! She loves going on hikes and walks, and loves chasing a ball or frisbee! That said, her absolute favorite spot is curled up on the couch next to us!
