Kim's Puppy Palace

Kim G.

Breeder of Havanese

Meet the breeder

I'm Kim G., the breeder behind Kim's Puppy Palace located in Tennessee. We are a selective breeding program that focuses on temperament and the overall well-being of our dogs. We breed to produce happy and healthy puppies that can continue to thrive in their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Kim

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Over 35 years ago I began. I learned the importance of proper AKC recommended health check ups. I am big on early training methods done by the breeder as well as matching the applicant and puppy's temperament. I continued due to the positive feedback I received from adoptive owners. "best dog I've ever had!" is often said. And, "Brings us so much joy thank you! " Its admirable to rescue animals but so often you don't know what you are in for or are you equipped to deal with. This is NOT the case with a carefully bred home raised puppy from us. You will know exactly what the breed is all about and your puppy's special personality.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our pups are selectively bred, raised with love and guidance to be the best they can be! Just like people each one is different and we try to match them to you as a beloved companion. Vet checks, top food, loving care are part of the routine for our Havanese.

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

    Our puppies include white, cream, silver, black, black and silver brindle, and chocolate brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
