LosPuntos
Meet the breeder
I'm Marie A F., the breeder behind LosPuntos located in Suffolk County, NY. My program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Havanese. I have been involved in showing and breeding quality dogs since 1989. Being a responsible and confident breeder is my top priority, and I ensure that my dogs are fully healthy and excellent representations of the breed standard. I look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Marie A
Why did you start breeding?
I first started with Dalmatians, but have since dedicated my program to the exquisite Havanese breed. My first Havanese came to live with me in 2003, and I haven't looked back since! At LosPuntos, I strive to maintain and improve upon the unique qualities that the Havanese has to offer! I have enjoyed the process and love placing happy, healthy puppies into loving forever homes.What makes your program special?
LosPuntos is an ethical hobby breeding program with a great amount of education and experience in breeding top-quality Havanese. My dogs are bred with a focus on health, conformation, temperament, and beauty. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs, and I do everything I can to ensure my puppies have what they need to excel in life. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
LosPuntos reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Havanese.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
