Rosilyn S.

Breeder of Miniature Schnauzers and Havanese

Meet the breeder

I'm Rosilyn S., the breeder behind Maplecreek located in Woodland, WA. Our priority in my breeding program has always been and will always be health first, personality second, conformation third and other appointments last. I absolutely adore my mini's. My dogs and puppies are raised in my home and given a lot of love and hands-on attention. We expose them to as many types of situations as we can so they are very well socialized before they leave us. This is important for both the pups we sell as pets and also for the pups we keep to show.

Q. & A. with Rosilyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    In 1995 I was fortunate to obtain two females from a breeder who could no longer keep her dogs and allowed me to breed them and show their puppies if they ended up to be show quality pups. That is when I started MapleCreek Miniature Schnauzers. Since then I obtained our foundation bitch "B.J.", a "Rep" daughter. In 2005 I purchased my first Havanese. Darcy, CH Flaming Geysers Dulcinea, our second Havanese received her championship in 2007, she passed all of her health requirements and produced several wonderful litters before she was retired. Since darcy I have had 4 more champions and am working on more. I am very proud of all my Havanese, they are such sound, fun dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have been breeding and improving my lines ever since, showing those Mini's that have promise. Champion MapleCreek's fire storm, aka "Junior," became our first champion in January of 2001. Champion MapleCreek's Magic Equation, aka "Einstein," became our second champion in July 2005. Champion MapleCreek's Forever Amber, aka "Amber," received her championship in June 2006. Ch MapleCreek's Magic Moment received his championship in June 2008. I am extremely proud of all four beautiful and handsome dogs. And several more since then.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Excellent level

Maplecreek 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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • 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.

    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.
