Q. & A. with Pamm

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have raised, shown and loved dogs for over fifty years. We breed for confirmation, temperament, and health, as feel it takes all three portions to make the whole dog. There are no questions we won't answer, so please ask us anything, we believe in total, full disclosure always! My parents raised and showed dogs for 60+ years, so I was raised in the dog game at the dogshows. Dogs are my passion and life, NOT my source of income.

  • What makes your program special?

    Not all dogs were meant to be Champions, this has no bearing on their quality, at least for us. In order for a dog to be a successful show dog, they have to be literally comfortable in their own skin and strut their stuff at the dog shows. A Top professional Handler can make a Champion out of an inferior dog..so a title does not carry the influence it used to carry. All Havanese at Tapscott's are health tested, and certified with OFA, none are ever bred that possess genetic problems. Though some may be lacking a Ch. in front of their names, in our family, this does not reflect their quality, nor lack of it. Some dogs were obtained older, or else simply had no interest in the world of competition. Our line is also long lived, as we have had six dogs live to be 21 years old, over my lifetime.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (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.
