Q. & A. with Pamela
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the breed, Then found a perfect Havanese that we were able to compete in the AKC show ring. I am an owner handler, and show my own dogs in AKC Conformation. We breed occasionally to continue the wonderful bloodlines that our Havanese have. It is important to us that we not only continue our own phenomenal bloodlines, but that we are improving this breed with each litter and are ensuring the well-being of the Havanese for generations more to come! It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that we've found in raising these wonderful dogs. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!What makes your program special?
We raise all of our dogs with love in our home. We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one in an enriching and loving home that will match their temperament and personality! Our involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that we breed our Havanese by, and we ensure each dog is healthy, happy, and will make a positive contribution to the line overall. Our beautiful pups are sure to make loving companions for your family for many years to come!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
