Meet the breeder

I'm Lillian B., the breeder behind Tye River Havanese located in Lovingston, VA. I care about the Havanese breed and do everything in my power to breed sound dogs to ensure healthy and happy puppies. My puppies’ health and wellbeing are my main priority. Each puppy is raised, and loved indoors to ensure health, happiness, and harmony at the start of its life. I use Puppy Culture for early development and start on crate and potty training.

    We are so impressed with our puppy from Lilly. The time she spent with him on training before we got him shows. Our puppy already knew how to play fetch, picked up stairs quick, and most importantly already loved the crate. Lilly gave us information on each of the puppies personalities to make sure we chose a puppy who would be a good fit for our other dog. She met us half way for pick up day. Lilly shows her dogs in competitions and really cares about breeding good quality Havanese. We are so happy to have worked with this AKC certified breeder.

    It was a great experience. Lily is first class and my little puppy is happy and more importantly healthy. She’s a beautiful girl. I was apprehensive doing anything online especially so far from my home but Lily made it easy, safe, and was gracious,

    Lillian was great! She responded quickly when I asked about her puppies. We did a video chat so I could meet the puppy I picked, and she kept me up-to-date with my puppy’s progress. And when I came time to meet my new puppy she met me at a convenient location! A really great experience!!
