Q. & A. with Patti
Why did you start breeding?
After 15 years working with rescue groups, we felt that we could be really good breeders. We know the pitfalls, we’ve seen first hand how bad breeders cause damage. We want to be the best!What makes your program special?
Our commitment to well adjusted, healthy pups! We aren’t “in it for the money”, instead we spend what we make providing a better and better experience for our moms and their pups.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, red brindle, red sable, and chocolate sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
MyHeartsHavis 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.
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 (rDVM, not 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.
Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
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.
