Meet the breeder

I'm Patty D., the breeder behind Willow Springs Havanese located in Rogersville, TN. We breed top-quality Havanese that are healthly and well socialized to bring you the perfect family pet! We are dedicated to providing our buyers and puppies with a positive experience, which starts with being committed to responsible practices with breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.

Q. & A. with Patty

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I met him, my husband had been breeding Labs for many years. When I discovered the Havanese breed, I began showing them. The natural next step was to breed them. I find it incredibly fulfilling to bring them into this world and watch them grow day by day. I show my adult dogs in AKC conformation classes and am the Vice President of the Central Carolina Havanese Club.

  • What makes your program special?

    Good breeding starts with making sure my adult dogs have correct conformation, health, and temperament. Healthy parents are the best guarantee of healthy puppies! We begin ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) at 3 days old to encourage more active, healthy, and confident puppies. Puppies are exposed and desensitized to many common sounds, including vacuuming, bathing, and the hair dryer.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Willow Springs Havanese reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Havanese.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not 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.

  • Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
