MiaMor Havanese
Meet the breeder
I'm Kathy S., the breeder behind MiaMor Havanese located in Vestavia Hills, AL. Occasionally, I may have a thoughtfully planned breeding with intention of producing healthy, beautiful and delightful Havanese. Breeding adults are health tested and show ring champions. My dogs are dear family members who live in my home and often travel with me.
Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
Although I have had several dear Havanese over the years, I acquired a special pup after one of our older Havanese died. It didn't take long for me to realize how exceptional she was. She was the perfect mix of regal beauty and engaging personality. Her bright mind and sweet willingness to please captivated me. I will breed to preserve her legacy and hope to always have a part of her with me.What makes your program special?
All breeding will be selective for quality and health of the breed. I will not breed for quantity.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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 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.

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.
