About Marijke
After spending ten satisfying years rescuing & placing hundreds of kittens in loving homes, we met our first Havanese, Mrs.Bear. That was it! We found our passion. We breed for the love of these charming, always happy, loving souls, whose only job is to keep your heart warm, make you laugh, and FLY into your hearts.
We concentrate on the temperament of our dogs, and as we only breed from international champion lines, the genetics have been proven over multiple generations. We never “line breed” because the genetic health of our puppies is first and foremost. We do not breed in crates or cages; our dogs & pups are always with us. They are kissed, cuddled, loved, taken out in the car, vacuumed around, bossed about by three giant cats, picked up & loved by all who come.
Our breeding practices and contract (see below) set us apart. We give a year genetic health guarantee, and I am very proud of our agreement that does not require you to return your puppy. The health of our puppies comes first, even when they are living with you. We want you to love our puppies as much as we do, but mostly we want our puppies to loving you.
Most of our puppies go home to you at eight weeks old with their first shots.
In addition, we never give our own puppies vaccinations. Our vet does this and gives them a complete “well puppy” check before they go to your home. Remember, breeders should be experts in their breed, but they are not vets. Shortcutting the vet visit to save money is a poor choice, and when you pick up your puppy, there should be paperwork from a reputable local veterinarian to ensure that your puppy gets the right start.
PLEASE CALL ME at 203-623-9292; I always answer or will return calls or texts. Please DO NOT email me. I’m too busy loving your new puppy.
I now enjoy sharing my business with my brother, Lody, two houses, and one breeding standard.

About Lody
Retirement has created a lonely environment for Griso, my cat, & me. I live in the woods of Lyme, CT, in a cozy saltbox with eagles soaring above & 4 legged wildlife scurrying about. My sister told me I needed a dog,
To which I replied, “NO DOG‼️” Apparently, she didn’t hear me… She arrived on my doorstep with Sophie tucked under her arm.
“No, no, no!” As she’s filling my arms with this adorable, gentle, happy bundle. Too late! I was hers.
She is fast, sturdy, and ready for adventure; she kayaks with me, rides my motorcycle in a backpack, and sleeps on my lap in front of the fire. And if I want a day with a book or just hanging out and watching tv, she’s happy to do that too.
Now I have four ladies, Sophia, Bella, Mia, and coming soon, Espresso and I have the pleasure of breeding these lovely little darlings. They were born and raised in front of my stone fireplace. Grizo thinks she’s in charge. Maybe she is? They are played with by all who come, taken outside and for little outings in the car. Socialize, Socialize, Socialize!
We raise both standard and chocolate Havanese from the best bloodlines in Europe and The US. We are two houses with one philosophy: puppies on our laps, puppies in our hearts, and health on our minds. My sister’s house has been raising and breeding Havanese for 16 years now, so she is my oracle. We usually have puppies between the two households; please call us and see if we can help you find your new bundle of joy!
