Meet the breeder

I'm Nick W., the breeder behind Watson Farms located in Batesburg, SC. We offer top-quality Havanese focused on health, socialization, and temperament. Raised in our home with round-the-clock care, our happy puppies transition seamlessly into new homes. Following ethical guidelines with health-cleared parents, we match our pups exclusively with loving families.

Q. & A. with Nick

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We are hobby breeder. We fell completely in love with the Havanese through our own two dogs. Their intelligence and joyful spirits quickly made them the heart of our home. With an empty nest and a lifetime of animal care experience on our farm, we had the perfect opportunity to pour our full hearts into raising healthy, happy puppies to share that incredible joy with others.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes us special is our blend of animal experience and home-raising. Living on a farm gives us a deep understanding of care, while our empty nest allows us to pour undivided love into our puppies. Raised inside our home—not a kennel—our pups experience initial potty training and daily socialization to ensure a seamless transition into your family.

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

    Our puppies include black and white, cream, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    It was a delight working with Nick and Kellie! They are such sweet, kind people, and it shows through the delightful nature of their pups. They are raised in a loving and nurturing environment. I was also impressed by the exceptional nature of the pup's parents, Lola and Kevin. I feel like we hit a jackpot. They ALL seem to have really good temperaments. I really appreciate Nick and Kellie introducing their pups to crates. Our pup uses his crate as his safe space, especially at first when he was still getting used to us, making it a positive experience for him and making it easier for us to help him get used to it. I also appreciate how they were taught going potty outside on a regular schedule. That has made potty training so much easier for us! We were provided with items to help transition our pup, which we appreciate. He is so well adjusted and a joy. Thanks Watson Farms!

    Nick and his wife have two loved family dog’s that they bred. We were lucky enough to get one of the litter. The puppies are hand raised by loving human and dog parents. Our new addition to our family is sweet tempered, energetic, smart, healthy and beautiful. Working with Nick was a pleasure. He was responsive and sent pictures and videos. They set us up for success with a puppy kit and schedule. Our little puppy has not even had an accident yet. Thank you to Watson Farms!
