Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind LesBois Havanese located in Meridian, ID. I produce pups that have the ability to excel in their chosen field, whether that be agility, showing, or as a beloved companion. When breeding, I prioritize compatible lines, good structure, and adherence to the breed standard. My focus is on excellence in every aspect of my breeding program.

Marilyn’s experience

  • About Marilyn

    I am a proud breeder with a great love for Havanese. My dogs are an integral part of my life, and I take pride in both their accomplishments in the ring and their wonderful temperaments and abilities at home. My dogs truly are my passion.

  • What makes Marilyn’s program special

    I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.

    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.

  • 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.
