Havanese
About Bing Bing
Mr. Bingley is a sweet and mild mannered Havanese. He is different shades of chocolate and cream with captivating hazel eyes. Bingley is up for adventure of any size and makes friends easily. He has an aversion to getting his feet wet and loves to be the center of attention. Bingley has an easy friendship with cats and small children. He has deep mistrusts concerning vets, hairbrushes, cows and volleyballs. He can take or leave treats but affection is a must. He loves to check on his babies and would like to take care of them if their mother wasn’t so watchful and protective.

About Gold
Gold is my snarky and sweet girl. She likes adventure and fun. She enjoys being with people and playing with her pack. She likes being at home with her favorite people but is happy to tag along with everyone else.
Havanese
About Silver
Silver is my sweet ballerina. She showers everyone with love and affection. She likes small children and is learning to appreciate cats. Silver is a true homebody. She likes to have her people home and with her. She enjoys going for walks or snuggles. She will tolerate car rides but would much rather be home and with her family.
Havanese
About Lily
Lily is a sweet girl with all the best intentions. She has soft and silky white and caramel fur, so of course she is queen of the mud puddles. She likes going for whatever length of walk you are up for. Lily is a big fan of car rides that don’t end up at the vet. She likes posing for the camera and ruling the pack with gentle but firm paw. Lily spends a large portion of her day trying to convince her cats that they are best friends and that they need her affections. She is highly treat motivated. She would live off frozen pup cups and chicken treats if she had her way. Lily is an attentive mother who takes great pride in showing off her babies, and, at the same time, holding their father personally and solely responsible for their existence.

About Bob
Hi, I’m Bob. Bob Barker. I have one job to be big, scary and loud. I work as protection for my flock of sheep. I spend all night walking my fence line and barking at every suspicious shadow. I spend my days sunning myself and being on call for when the house children come and adore me. I am a typical Anatolian Shepherd. I despise the weakness of warmth and comfort.

About Annabelle
Hello, I am Annabelle. I'm awesome and not just because it's in my name. I love children and small dogs. I enjoy patrolling with my pack. We make lots of noise in the middle of the night to scare away things that might eat my sheep or my chickens. I love meeting my people at the gate for treats and scratches. I am amazingly relaxed around strangers...as long as they are accompanied by someone I know. I pose beautifully as long as your camera is pointed in the wrong direction. I am a loving and protective mother to my 9 puppies. I spend my whole day attempting to stop my babies from escaping the porch. I am an atypical Anatolian shepherd. I enjoy a warm blanket and lots of cuddles.
Excellent health testing

About Lady
Lady is a fun loving hooligan. She has flyaway brown hair with red and gray highlights and white markings. Lady enjoys going for long romps as long as she doesn’t get her feet wet and calls dibs on car rides. She enjoys collecting treats and adoring looks from unsuspecting strangers. Lady especially loves toddlers, who throw her the majority of their dinner. Perhaps most of all, Lady enjoys sitting by the window and supervising her kingdom.

I’m so happy we got our puppy from Janet. We’ve had her for about 4 months now, and she adjusted to our home right away and loves everyone. I think that’s because Janet puts so much care into raising her puppies: making sure they’re healthy, well-socialized, great with kids, and used to car rides. Janet even drove to the Atlanta airport to drop off our puppy and sent her with a blanket that smelled like her littermates. Between the blanket and all the practice car trips, the flight home was surprisingly easy. Janet’s communication was also amazing. She responded quickly to my questions and regularly sent photos and videos, which helped me feel connected to my puppy before we even met.

Wow! Arlo really is a dream come true. Our family was looking for a cuddly, loving, smart, loyal dog. Janet delivered. Arlo stole my heart from the second I held him in my arms. I walked in the door with him and our entire family fell in love. We have three children and they have all taken to him (and him to them), each in their own ways. My oldest daughter has a broken leg and Arlo cuddles her so gently and guards her leg, like he just knows. Arlo's personality is delightful. He is so excited to see me coming and is incredibly playful and engaged as well as cuddly and sleepy (for me, it's the perfect combination!). Upon arrival, Arlo transitioned almost seamlessly to our pee pads, thanks to Janet's routines for him previously. He LOVES car rides, for which I am also so thankful to Janet. He has transitioned to his new crate beautifully -- it is open in his pen and after two days, he electively snuggles in it when he is ready for sleep. At night, we put him in his crate closed in our bedroom. He has some sadness for a few minutes and then sleeps through the night, accident-free. When he wakes up in the morning, he is so happy! I don't know how we got so lucky, but we did, and I am so very grateful we found Janet. She is a loving breeder, who clearly puts that love into her dogs and finding them their families. I enjoyed communicating with Janet so much. She is so knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, and thoughtful (and also has a great sense of humor!). I'd recommend her without hesitation for the doggy mamas who want the very best in personality from a Havanese. Janet - thank you for our dream-come-true Arlo!

Janet and her husband were amazing! After discussing if their puppy would be a good fit for our family they drove 8 hrs to meet us and present us with the best addition to our family we could ask for! Our puppy came with a towel with her parents sent to ease her into her new home, dog food to transition her to our food of choice, up to date vaccinations and a vet check to give us peace of mind. I could not have asked for more responsible breeders.

I adopted my Havanese puppy from Janet through Good Dog, and the experience truly couldn’t have been better. From the very beginning, Janet was clear, open, honest, and incredibly informative. She patiently answered all of my questions and also asked thoughtful questions about my life and readiness to make sure the puppy would be going to the right home. That level of care and responsibility really stood out to me. On adoption day, she even arrived with a gift bag to help with the transition, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. My puppy arrived healthy, well cared for, and clearly raised with love. The temperament has been wonderful—sweet, curious, and well-socialized. It’s obvious Janet puts a lot of care and intention into how she raises her puppies. Overall, Janet was knowledgeable, transparent, and acted with the utmost integrity throughout the entire process. My puppy has been a true blessing—so much work, but so much joy. I truly couldn’t imagine a better adoption experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a Havanese puppy.

I had never bought a pet online and was very wary. I came across GoodDog and found Janet. She was VERY patient and listened to my concerns and helped ease them. She helped make sure that Mongo was going to be the right fit for us. She sent photos often and kept us updated and was forthcoming with anything she thought we would want or need to know. When we met Mongo on adoption day, I felt like I was being greeted by a dear friend. We were comfortable, we met Mongo. He was healthy, clean and happy. You can tell that Janet loves her babies. Mongo IS the perfect fit for our family and will be deeply loved. Janet is not a breeder. She is someone that is dedicated to the health and well being of her Havanese.

Joscelyn is wonderful to work with. I bought a beautiful Anatolian Shepard from her. Janet is her sister that sells Havanese! Joscelyn sent me many pictures of my Ruby Ann and report ed twice a week on how she was doing! It made me feel like I was there watching her grow! Such a bonus!!! Joscelyn answered all my questions in a timely manner. Ruby Ann was socialize with people as well as chickens. When I picked her up she had a hand-towel with the scent of Ruby Ann’s parents! She loves sleeping with that towel! Our puppy transitioned well and not only is she beautiful but very smart! She is already watching the goats with her best friend - our older Anatolian Shepard! I would 100% recommend you buying your Anatolian Shephard from Joscelyn! She is the best and the puppies are great quality! Look for her on Good Dog! You will get the best puppy ever!!!
