Breeder of Havanese

Meet the breeder

I'm Jennifer M., the breeder behind HillCountry Havanese located in Comfort, TX. We offer loving pets who have been raised in our home and work to place our puppies in loving forever homes. We adore our dogs! We are a breeder located in Central Texas. We raise our puppies as part of our family and they are loved on daily. We strive to place our puppies in loving families.

Q. & A. with Jennifer

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We love the Havanese breed and contemplated breeding Stella for several years. We found Luca and the timing was right, so we brought him home. We decided when Luca was old enough we would try to breed them, as Stella is older. We love having the puppies around!

  • What makes your program special?

    I believe our program is special in that our dogs are valued members of our family and the puppies will be valued and loved on every day. We will make every effort to find the best fit for each puppy.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate and silver sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
