Q. & A. with Lynn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We fell in love with the Havanese breed. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, in addition to being excellent representations of the breed, and we are proud to continue their line.

  • What makes your program special?

    We take responsible breeding very seriously. As breeders, we are stewards of the future of the breed, so we are careful to always maintain ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and socializing our puppies so they leave our care with a solid foundation of development.

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
