We're retired & love to shower Lexie with love. We knew we wanted another Havaton. Nine months ago we flew to Portland (we live in Anchorage, Alaska) & brought MacKenzie Bray home! (we call her Kenzie) She has been "accepted" by Lexie (it just took her a few days to get used to this high energy ball of fluff.) I appreciated that Bryan or Kirsten responded to my texts while we waited for Kenzie to be born. We delighted in receiving pictures of her! I'm comfortable in knowing Bryan & Kirsten are there whenever we have a concern for "our girls." I send a text or give one of them a call & receive a prompt response. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a puppy. Lexie & Kenzie are sure a "Joy" to us. Glennis & Jack

To anyone looking to buy a puppy or older dog from Pride & Joy Pups, please read about our…read moreexperience, so you know the kind of breeder you are dealing with and the potential problems you may experience with your new dog. We lost our cherished Havanese, Oscar, in December 2021 and weren't expecting the hole he would leave in our hearts and lives. In February 2022, we began putting out feelers about adopting a young dog (not a puppy) that would already be potty-trained and maybe have learned basic leash skills. We are both seniors and didn't want a puppy, as they require so much energy to train. When we contacted Bryan, he said he had two 1-year-old Havanese females that were too small for his breeding program that he needed to rehome. He said he wanted to place them together since they were very attached to one another. We were told they used a doggy door and potty pads inside the house, without issue. Bryan said that they were "timid." Bryan also said that the dogs were "free feeders," meaning that food was always available, and they helped themselves when they were hungry. When we visited the dogs, we quickly fell in love with them and decided to purchase them on the spot. After we got them home, we noticed that they were both so thin that their bones could easily be felt beneath their skin. Whenever we offered food, they ate it as quickly as possible. It quickly became apparent that neither dog was fully potty-trained in any way. We used potty pads inside the house (we don't have a doggy door), and although they would use the pads occasionally, there continued to be daily accidents on blankets, the tile floor, carpet, etc. For this reason, we have had to restrict them to our kitchen and dining room areas to avoid accidents on our carpet and furniture. Both dogs were extremely skittish with us for weeks and would cringe when we bent down to pick them up--as if they had been hit or were kept in a very isolated place at the breeder's home. It was apparent that they were not properly socialized. We could not get a straight answer from Bryan about whether the dogs were really a year old (they exhibited behavior more like those of puppies), and whether he had ever taken the dogs to be evaluated by a vet. Our vet saw both dogs two weeks after we got them and told us that they were both underweight (so much for being "free feeders"), and that they both had orthopedic problems (luxating patellae and carpal valgus). They may require surgical intervention as they age. Our vet also said that the dogs looked like Havanese mixes, but not purebred Havanese. We didn't receive any paperwork from Bryan that would confirm the purebred status of our dogs. When we let Bryan know what our vet told us, he was quite defensive and insinuated that our vet was looking for problems to get as much money out of us as possible. This is an excerpt from the email reply we received from him: I'm not sure what to say to you. The vets can always find lists of potential problems that would require lifelong vet visits and surgeries, racking up astronomical vet bills. Sounds like a good business model. Bryan never answered our question about whether the dogs had ever seen a vet. He was also unable to provide proof of their age or lineage. Any reputable breeder would gladly offer information on all those things. We have now had our girls four months and love them dearly, but they are much more work than we thought we were getting into--specifically, the potty-training issues that they both have. Our guess is that Bryan knew the dogs had orthopedic issues and didn't want them for his breeding program for that reason. Not being familiar with dogs, we didn't notice it when we met them. Keeping quiet about their potential orthopedic issues is not something an ethical breeder would do. Please don't make the mistake we made by buying from this kind of backyard breeder who washes his hands of his dogs and his clients after he's made a sale. It's been a tremendously stressful and disappointing experience.

We've known owner Nicole since she was a teenager and have seen with our own eyes her work ethics over the years. She has dedicated her life to raising well-educated, responsible kids who are also involved in the entire breeding process. Fancy Pants goes above and beyond to ensure their pups are healthy by implementing a thoughtful, genetically sound breeding program. Pups are exposed to daily life activities such as grooming, nail trims, crating, car rides, lots of play and cuddling before they send them off to their forever homes. The adoption process was not taken lightly - Fancy Pants takes time to ensure adoptive parents are a good fit to the pups they will be going home with. Nicole was always happy to answer our new parent questions through the entire process. We brought 8 week old Harley home in January 2023. He's been a delight and fills our lives with joy every day!
