I'm Stephanie H., the breeder behind Juniper Grove Havanese located in Springville, CA. Welcome to Juniper Grove Havanese (JGH), a family-run ranch on our 2-acre property, surrounded by juniper and redwood trees. At JGH, we’re passionate about the Havanese breed. We raise each puppy with care. Our dogs are family, and we’re honored to share them with you.
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
It was our Havanese, Amos, who changed everything for us. Amos had a truly unique personality—gentle, affectionate, and full of joy—and he became the inspiration behind our decision to breed Havanese dogs as hobby breeders. Our goal is to ensure that each puppy we raise reflects the qualities that made Amos so special: intelligence, warmth, and a strong bond with their human families.
What makes your program special?
As a family, we are committed to breeding healthy, happy, and well-socialized Havanese puppies, raised in a loving environment where they are treated as part of the family. Our small, personalized operation allows us to focus on each dog’s well-being and ensure they are ready to join their new homes as loyal companions.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Havanese
About Rissa
Rissa is a sweet and pampered red Havanese with white socks who loves attention and affection. After a good grooming session, she thrives on praise and enjoys the extra love she gets. While she may need a little encouragement to go on walks, she’s always ready for fun when it’s time to play. She let's her cute inner monster out when engaging in rough-and-tumble play with Amos, her favorite playmate. Before bed, she demands cuddles, ensuring she gets her fair share of love. Rissa is also protective of her family, and her intelligence shines through especially when keeping a watchful eye over her home. She's always the first to notice when something is out of place. With her soft coat and the sweetest kisses, she knows how to melt hearts.

He is always ready for a game or a cozy cuddle session.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Stephanie and her husband for their attentiveness, care, and warmth toward this litter of Havanese puppies! They consistently sent me updates about my little guy’s progress, including growth, personality traits, and socialization. I fell in love with Wrigley before I met him in person! I know his first few months with Juniper Grove Havanese were a big part of developing Wrigley’s sweet, funny, and loving demeanor. Thank you, Stephanie, for my best friend, Wrigley! 💕

We enjoyed working with Stephanie and found our adorable puppy, Kaley! Stephanie was very responsive & knowledgeable about Havanese. She allowed us to come and meet the puppies and we solidified Kaley was our choice! Stephanie regularly provided updates of Kaley which we enjoyed very much as we waited until she was 10 weeks old to bring her to our home. Our Vet gave Kaley an examine and found her to be a very healthy puppy. Kaley is now 4.5 months old and very much part of our family. We have 4 grandchildren who love to come and visit her. They have so much fun together. Thank you Stephanie for our adorable Kaley!! It was the best experience ever working with you!! Terri & Tim Connor

We were looking to adopt a new puppy when we lost our own dog of 13 years. We decided on getting a Havanese, even though we are inexperienced with the breed. We chose JGH because they are a family oriented breeder, and this seems to be the first litter with the parent pair. We can tell that they really care about their dogs. Stephanie was very responsive and was very descriptive of each of the puppies traits and demeanor. Picking up our puppy was very easy. Good Dog made the process so convenient.

We’re so grateful to have found this breeder. From the very start, everything about the process was easy and stress-free. Anytime we had a question about Millie, they took the time to answer thoughtfully and with real care. You could tell right away how knowledgeable and experienced they are with the Havenese breed. Communication was amazing too. They always responded quickly and kept us in the loop. The Good Dog platform was helpful, but it was really their personal touch that made the whole experience feel so special.
As for Millie, she’s perfect. Playful, social, and so full of personality. It feels like she’s been part of our family forever. We’ve completely fallen in love with her, and she’s brought so much joy and laughter into our home. We honestly can’t imagine life without her now.

Stephanie was amazing to work with! She was very responsive to any questions we had about our sweet boy. One of the best things is when we asked if there were any videos she could send, we had up to date playful videos, so we could get an idea of his personality. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the professionalism and willingness to work with us in bringing our boy to us. Thank you so much, Stephanie! We'd recommend 100%, and we may add another Havanese down the road.
