Meet the breeder
I'm Karen Marie D., the breeder behind Meadowview Havanese located in Southwick, MA. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to excel in life. This amazing breed is what my life revolves around and I'm honored to share them with the rest of the dog community!
Q. & A. with Karen Marie
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!What makes your program special?
I am a proud AKC Breeder of Merit and am so excited to share my love of them with the world. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I will always stand behind my puppies. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next family companion!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, red, silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Karen Marie
Karen Marie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $250 non-refundable deposit and between $3,750 - $4,250 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“We require a non refundable deposit of $250.00, when a family is placed on our active litter wait list. Once confirmed that you are a family that is on our current litter list (usually after the litter has been born) then we require a deposit of $500.00 to secure your commitment to us that you are a future family for one of our puppies. This deposit is deducted from the purchase price of the puppy. The balance will be due 48 hrs before you are scheduled to pick up your puppy. IF you are unable to take your puppy because of a change in your family circumstances, your deposit will be applied to the next available litter.”
