Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
I've wanted to breed dogs since I was a little girl. I fell in love with the Havana Silk Dog/Havanese breed when I bought my first puppy Cecilia (A.K.A. Silly) 20 years ago. Breeding dogs is a huge honor and responsibility, as breeders shape the future of the breed!What makes your program special?
The Havana Silk Dog Association of America requires that all of its breeders do extensive health testing and conformation evaluation on their dogs before certification. We are a small club of caring breeders who all aim to improve the breed and maintain its high standard of quality, temperament, and optimal health. We love them so much - and we know you will too!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red sable, cream, black and tan, fawn sable, and gold sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Ori, mom
Havana Silk Dog
About Ori
Ori is an incredibly smart and loyal little girl! When not following her favorite person around, she can be found practicing her agility, leaping around with her little sister, or snuggling on the couch. She loves to go on hikes and even the occasional swim. Her keen sense of smell once alerted us to a forest fire! She is the one who will cuddle close to you if you are feeling sick or sad. She’s highly perceptive and intuitive, and loves her people more than anything in the world! She has been fully health tested and passed her CHIC certification.

About Pippin
Pippin is the bestest boi there is! He absolutely loves everyone he meets. He's smart as can be, and loves to learn. He's always up for a romp in the park, or a snuggle on the couch. He has passed his testing for OFA hips, patella, heart, eyes, and hearing, and tested negative for carrying CMR1, vWD type 1, and CDDY (chondrodystrophy).
