Welcome to Havs of Havre de Grace.
Hi, I’m Ed (Pastor Ed) to those who’ve known me long. Along with my wonderful wife, Debbie, we moved to our home a few years ago and upon retiring have taken a new path. This new path led us to our wonderful little Havanese family.
It all started with our question: What dog is small, doesn’t shed, and friendly?
We had raised Bouviers des Flanders, a big dog with a friendly personality, but they became too big for us to handle. So we went on a website search. We wanted a small, friendly, good traveler, lap dog, who loves children and other dogs, non-shedding and is a good companion dog.
It seemed like a big order but we found what we were looking for: HAVANESE.
The Havanese is from Cuba and were recognized by American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1996. They were raised to be companion dogs for royalty and for herding chickens for the farmers. Their long coats helped protect them from the heat and dust when herding.
We purchased our first Havanese in 2007. Her name is “Lilli”. She is a gold pie in color and is, indeed, all that we could ever want in a pet companion. She is a well behaved family member that sleeps in our bed.
We decided to buy another dog and try our hand at showing dogs. My wife Debbie says, “They are like chips. You are never satisfied with just one.” Thus our adventure in dog buying, raising, showing and breeding began. Debbie also grooms dogs and is the primary caretaker of the “pets”.
At this time, we have a Champion in “Lolla Mae de Grace” – a blackish/blueish Havana Silk Dog. We purchased Lolla in St. Petersburg, FL on New Years Day 2009. “Lilli”, our first Havanese, had two puppies and one of them, “We Luv Lucci de Grace”, is on her way to Grand Champion.
Are we having fun? You betcha!
Rhona – Sorry for the late reply. Deb and 3 litters of Havanese – some available now – all colors – male and females. Pls call her 410-459-8162. Thanks much and Happy Halloween. Ellie (web lady)
I live in HDG and was wondering if you are still breeding?
Looking for a havenese puppy or young dog. I am a very conscientious pet parent. Recent dog history: shih tzu for 14 years and then a minature poodle for 15 years.
I am retired and would love to have a new puppy in my life.
Thank you.

Very interested in purchasing a replacement for our Lily It has taken some time to decide to get another Havanese but am ready now
Debbie’s Havanese are absolutely wonderful. I can’t image a more gracious and responsible breeder. Three years ago Debbie sold us a very intelligent little pup, who has become the most endearing, obedient, and entertaining little man! The day we picked him up he was already beautifully socialized, house broken, and fetching a ball. He immediately and correctly identified my son as “his human.” Debbie, thank you for for this blessing and undeniable source of joy!
Do you have any female puppies available?
Do you have any Havanese puppies available at this time? If not, when? Or older Havanese for adoption? Please let me know. Thanks.
