Meet the breeder

I'm Natasha L., the breeder behind Hermosa Havanese 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.
  • 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 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.

Getting a puppy from Natasha

Natasha has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Natasha partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“We determine which puppy goes to which home after their 8 week evaluations, when their temperaments are developed, and we can evaluate which puppies have the potential to be show dogs. ”

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 refundable deposit that secures a spot in a litter. The remaining $3,000 is due at pickup, before taxes & fees.

“Our puppies come with AKC registrations, vaccinated, vet checked, and dewormed. They are out of fully health tested parents, and come with a health guarantee. Refundable deposits holds you a spot on our puppy list.”

Natasha may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
