It all started 11
years ago with Misty 
She is now retired,
yet despite her age, still runs around like a pup . Misty is a dearly loved member of our
family.
We bred
Misty to
Hadassah Kiki and had
Moca, Ceiba and Buca.

Buca
Another addition to our
growing family was a Cuban import,
It was my desire to breed top quality
Havanese, combining temperament, health and beauty, and although Quito had the much loved Havanese temperament, a great front and bite, he also had a poor coat, a weak rear and the famous Cuban hop
skip. So, as hard as it was, we had to let
Then I met Small Haven
We showed Buca to champion, and bred Moca
and Ceiba to Small Haven

The addition of
His daughter
Catreeya became
THE STANDARD and turning point of our breeding
program,
Catreeya: FINALLY on top of health and temperment, we had Breed TYPE.....
Catreeya became a champion
quickly. She won a toy specialty where the judge put her on a
table, in front of the crowd, and said, “FINALLY, this is what a havanese should look like
!!”That was a proud
day.
THERE WAS NO holding us back
now….!! WE had a taste of recognition and felt very proud of improving the
breed. WE had some great mentors too.
Due to the fact that
Catreeya was so stunning, we wanted to breed her to another exceptional
Havanese, but who?
After much research, WE decided that
Swedish Wiktor
would be her perfect
match. Impressively, Wiktor holds 7 titles in 7
countries, and has
a history of good health, sound temperament and
conformation.
Multi Country Champion
Smedtjarns Wiktor.

Wiktor and Catreeya produced one of
our top our Stud’s, TUX.

From Blondo, we got Zorro, and
then from Zorro I bred Sebastion.
Sebastion was also another
Major improvement that we produced, whom also produces better than
himself.
So not only from the Mistyline we are
down 6 generations, but down from
Blondo
We have Blondo > Zorro>

So, this gives you a bit of
history, of where we have come from, and the improvement to the breed for
the last 10 years. I am very fussy on heads, and proper bites and all
teeth, I will only breed straight fronts, etc. I get quite creative in my
breedings, and it is fun to see them workout as I have imagined. My
Style has greatly changed from my very first litter, 12 years ago, I
figured they were ALL show quality… grin… Now I am very very fussy, and
proud to say most of the dogs sell for pets, and could easily be show
potential
Starting with Bloodhounds, I
bred for the Police dept. 20 years ago, has shaped my views of what
makes a good dog - of any breed, they were very fussy, and I learned that
you CAN make good dogs. WE bred and owned the #1 female bloodhound in
You will see some
other dogs, and pedigrees that we have added over the last 10 years, they
come and go, as IF a dog produces health problems, they are eliminated
from our breeding program. Also, is people we work with, are not doing testing,
or not disclosing health problems, we breed away from them. I will not
work with people that do not breed with the Havanese best interest at
heart.
Joe we have added and kept,
JOE
http://www.elitehavanese.com/joe.html,
Joe is out of Chambolina, a pure Cuban import and bloodline we have tried to secure. Chambolina is of Exceptional temperment.

WE have a couple other Cuban lines
that we have secured, (Celine and Corizon) and are about to introduce
German lines.

MOST Of our
breeding dogs, live with families. I rarely sell off retired
breeding dogs, but IF I have a dog I want to keep open and part of my
breeding program, I will have them go live with a family, usually a
family that I have gotten to know, as they own a pet, and want a second
havanese for free.
I will bring
these dogs back for showing and maybe a litter or two.
Many of our
photo’s are pictured on www.dogbreedinfo.com plus, I
am called by various people and vets, to play mid woof. In our area, so I
have gathered pictures from them, and other breeders all
over.

Pups are born in
a private room, and kept there, warm, and draft free, for the first couple
weeks. I sleep in this room before and after whelp.

At 3.5 weeks they
are paper training, AND getting it.!!
pups potty on
paper already
pups spend from birth to 4 weeks in this warm
room, This is a 10 x 10 room off the
playroom
plus the spend the nights in this room.
By 5 weeks they
are in the playroom, right off our Kitchen. Next to the older
dogs.
< photo taken from
kitchen opening 
By 7-8 weeks,
they are using the doggie door, to go out to eliminate, and playing with the big
dogs
the doggy door off the playroom, goes to a large covered
deck, and potty station. After 8 weeks, pups eliminate
outside.
nice summer days =
ON Nice days, the dogs are let out into the
yard, 6’ fenced, and 2’ dug in the ground and they run like crazy.
As as we have eagles, cougar, bears and other predators I own 2
Mastiff’s that keep them away, and babysit the
havanese.
Our dogs and puppies have
access to our non carpet -- surfaced floors in
the house, and are gated off from the carpeted areas - with supervised often
exceptions.
Our adult
dogs are rarely crated, they have their own crates,
with the doors taken off, they are crate trained as puppies and
travel in the truck in individual crates. At dog shows and camping they are also
crated. I LIKE and believe in crate training.
sometime dogs DO
EAT the kids homework !! 
LOL
the all LOVE to play with the cat KALLIE, 
and are given daily one on one time, in the living
room.
All pups get
daily time in a crate, Kallie visits them. 
And then prior to
going to new home, they are separated from their littermates, in
xpens, usually in the kitchen. 
Pups go to new homes with a scent
toy.
In the summer they swim supervised in our pool
IN THE WINTER, when it snows, they have a 30’ x
30’ Roofed enclosure,
To get outside exercise and potty. Or when it is
RAINING., which is often.
the Tarp comes off in summer, the snow was blowing INSIDE< so
we tarped it. This is new + Wonderful, it is like a HUGE Xpen,
covered.
this is how/where I separate dogs and bitches in
heat..

Training facilities, IS MOSTLY our kitchen,
(that we are renovating), and our yard,
And handling classes. Local breed clubs and
Sanction Matches.
19 year old Rhiannon comes over once a week, whether I need her
or not, and just does whatever, baths, plays, weighs pups. She
is a vet student at university, and also my house sitter, for when I am at the
dog shows.
Paige Wilbee comes over quite regularily to play with pups.
My friends often bring their kids. So I get lots of
socializing.
When the kids watch TV there is almost always a dog or pup
on their lap
there are always kids wanting to play with
pups. 
Bathing and Grooming :
large dogs have hot water hose outside
I groom each dog every other day with
a line groom comb out, and bi-weekly I bath and blowdry and do a
show groom and clean their teeth. Monthly I pluck ears and clean,
trim nails, trim out slipper feet, and what ever else they may need. I
could say on Any given day, I could have a spot check from Animal Control,
and I would pass with 100%.
Most of my major grooming is in the
summer, teeth scaling, while I sit by the pool and supervise.
Mastiff is my other breed, and really just my havanese
babysitters, for outside time, and for
I have rescued a
min snauzer for the vet, but homed her at a
year.
Pups are assessed
at 8 weeks for temperaments and show potential.
For
breeding, I need a complete package, starting with health,
structure, and movement. A properly put together dog, will move
correctly. I want the dog to conform to the standard and have awesome
temperaments. I love a nice
head
