I'm James M., the breeder behind Hidden Bay Havanese located in Indian Harbour Beach, FL. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy Havanese puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. We are home-based breeders dedicated to bringing healthy, loving, and high-quality Havanese into the homes and hearts of their forever families. We love our dogs and are passionate about raising our puppies to be the best family companions.
Q. & A. with James
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding Havanese in the early 2000’s. We are part of a network of family breeders. We took a “puppy break” for a few years, but now we intend on having a couple of litters per year. We don’t do a lot of paid advertising so that means we are more likely to have puppies available that are 7 weeks plus of age. We also feel like it gives you the opportunity to have a better idea of the puppies appearance.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
