    Lydia was so professional throughout the entire process. She provided us with updates on our puppy each week, and she sent us hon right a ton of helpful tips for our new girl. I highly recommend Lydia if you are looking for great Havanese puppies! Our family loves our new furry addition, and we could not be happier.

    Lydia was wonderful to work with, she shared photos and videos along the way. Our little girl Chloé is a ball of fun, her favorite places are outside on the grass and sleeping with us. 🤣❤
