What an amazing experience with Island Havanese. My senior mother was seeking a puppy to keep a pep…read morein 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.

We took a few years to travel and relax during the early part of our retirement. Then along came the opportunity to get a Havanese from Kathey. We couldn't be happier. Kathey was great to work with. She helped us become acquainted with Havanese and we connect with her on an ongoing basis. Our boys are healthy, happy and are growing at an amazing pace. Our veterinarian is highly complimentary of the boys. Our groomer loves seeing them. All our neighbors love them. We look forward to having them in our family for many years. We highly recommend Canyon Hills Havanese.

You deserve a review with admiration and respect and I will try my best…read more My terminal husband at 43 was gifted a Cane Corso pup a year before he died. (I often joke she was a shitty gift for a dying man). He was oxygen dependent and on chemotherapy. He spent one afternoon with you. He went for a meet and greet lesson and came home with nearly 4 empty bottles of oxygen he was there so long. He also came home with the tools to make Groot a good citizen who can play catch from a chair in a small room, who can walk on a leash without knocking over an oxygen bottle on 2 tiny wheels and who's shoulders will literally permit a man to rise from sitting while using the dog for stability. All before her 1st birthday and his death. I will never know all that was discussed that afternoon, whatever it was it was far more valuable than the $40 given. Groot is my constant companion and last link to my best friend gone too soon. Jay liked you all very much,and that is a lot as he didn't like many.
