I'm Cassandra R., the breeder behind RiverHill located in Lake Crystal, MN. We care deeply about the Havanese and breed to help ensure the health and future of these wonderful dogs. When we bring a life into the world, we make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. We set our puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, conformation, ability, and drive. Our goal is to produce well-balanced puppies and find them loving, responsible homes.
