About Stephanie
We are Stephanie and Anthony, the proud owners of Juniper Grove Havanese. Our 2-acre estate is nestled in the serene Pleasant Valley area of Springville, California, as a husband-and-wife team we specialize in breeding high-quality Havanese dogs.

Why Stephanie started breeding
It was our Havanese, Amos, who changed everything for us. Amos had a truly unique personality—gentle, affectionate, and full of joy—and he became the inspiration behind our decision to breed Havanese dogs as hobby breeders. Our goal is to ensure that each puppy we raise reflects the qualities that made Amos so special: intelligence, warmth, and a strong bond with their human families.

About Rissa
Rissa is a sweet and pampered red Havanese with white socks who loves attention and affection. After a good grooming session, she thrives on praise and enjoys the extra love she gets. While she may need a little encouragement to go on walks, she’s always ready for fun when it’s time to play. She let's her cute inner monster out when engaging in rough-and-tumble play with Amos, her favorite playmate. Before bed, she demands cuddles, ensuring she gets her fair share of love. Rissa is also protective of her family, and her intelligence shines through especially when keeping a watchful eye over her home. She's always the first to notice when something is out of place. With her soft coat and the sweetest kisses, she knows how to melt hearts.
