What an amazing experience with Island Havanese. My senior mother was seeking a puppy to keep a pep in her step. After protecting her from sending money to a fraudulent "puppy" operation, I explained what to look for in a quality breeder. She sent me the website for Island Havanese. Amazing website chock-full of fabulous detail, guidance and more - grounded in experience and knowledge for the Havanese breed. And then my mom experienced the amazing woman behind the website. Constant kind and patient communication: mommy is pregnant, mommy doing well, mommy gave birth, pictures of babies, more pictures of babies, videos of babies...along with answering a constant stream of questions along the way. I flew in to help my parents with receiving the pup and making sure all was well. What an amazingly, well adjusted, darling of a puppy. Clearly, this puppy only knew love in its life. Loving, gently playful, super silky soft, pad trained, smart. I was desperate to steal her away! I can't thank Cherie and Island Havanese for not only being an amazing breeder of top-notch quality AKC dogs, but for being an absolute gem of a human. read more
