Q. & A. with Jon
Why did you start breeding?
I am a preservationist breeder striving to maintain and improve upon the unique qualities that the Havanese has to offer. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Havanese. I pride myself on helping all of my clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.
What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Havanese. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Havanese line.
