Meet the breeder

I'm Susan F., the breeder behind Sunsation Havanese located in Athens, AL. I offer top-quality, purebred Havanese puppies for families who share the same love and passion I do for these lovely companions.

My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.

Q. & A. with Susan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. I wanted to give back to the breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.

  • What makes your program special?

    I truly love the Havanese breed and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I do everything I can to ensure my puppies have what they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. My passion for this breed is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white and fawn sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
