Q. & A. with Jean
Why did you start breeding?
My husband's family went to pick out a havanese because of personality and allergies they seemed perfect for the breed. They wanted my help in picking out a puppy, because I am very knowledgeable on dogs. I went with them and picked out the"best" puppy. Well they wanted a girl, so we picked out a different one. I put down the little boy I picked for them and he just started to follow me. That was all it took. After that day after all the breed of dogs I've experienced. This is the best one.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because all my breeding dogs have been dna health tested. They also recive love and care from a person from the moment they are born. I stimulate them with different involvements, smells and sounds before they go home. Their involvement is clean and they learn where to potty. Honestly the biggest difference is the love and affection they get.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, gold, red, chocolate, silver, black, red sable, gold sable, chocolate sable, black and tan, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

I love my pup because the breeder gave him such a great foundation. It made his transition to our home almost seamless! Jean at Sweet Southern is caring, informative, and passionate about what she does. This experience was NOT transactional like breeders who treat things like it’s a business. It was personal to the point that this breeder vetted us as much as we did her. And at the end of the day, that’s what you should want from a breeder. I know she is someone we will keep in touch with sharing photos and stories about our fur baby because that’s the kind of bond she develops with you! Kudos to Sweet Southern👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
