This site is dedicated to my beautiful Havanese who are most importantly beloved family members and my constant companions. Not a kennel, this is a home where my Havanese are loved, treasured, and always near me. Whether sharing cuddles on the couch or proudly exhibiting in the showring, this loving relationship between my dogs and I is one of the greatest blessings of my life.

As an occasional breeder of Havanese puppies, only champion AKC registered Havanese are used in the Aviva Havanese breeding program.  Parents are extensively health tested for eyes, hips, elbows, patellas, cardiac, hearing, and normal blood panels.  Health tests are registered with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC),  and the Canine Eye Research Foundation (CERF).  Puppies are lovingly raised in our home with the goal of producing well-adjusted, well-socialized puppies.  Always striving to improve the breed and my line, I show my dogs in AKC conformation trials, continually seek to educate myself on Havanese health and best breeding practices, participate in Havanese breed organizations and seminars, and work with other breeders to produce top quality Havanese puppies.  I am a proud member of the Havanese Club of America and the Havanese Club of Southern California.

So please, peruse this site and meet the little dogs who are my passion, pride, and joy......my Havanese.
