I'm Mercy R., the breeder behind Winsome Havanese located in Dunnellon, FL. My passion is to breed top-quality puppies and connect them with loving forever homes! I take great pride in my breeding program. I am a small-scale breeder, allowing me to give each of my puppies, dogs, and breedings the proper care and attention they each deserve. I am dedicated to providing happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups and know you will love them, too!
