We are excited to announce that we are expecting two litter late fall 2023/early winter 2024.
The first litter will be a co-breeding between Rita Thomas of Sonrisas Havanese and I. We have paired GCh Happy Paws Rise From The Flames, and Sonrisas The Force With Her Leia. I have flown Leia out to Calgary to meet the sire, Pheonix. Leia and Phoenix had a successful tie, and if all goes well, Leia will have puppies born approximately November 20th, 2023. I will be whelping and raising the puppies.
This pairing is rated a Category Ten on Betterbred. A Category Ten breeding means the parents are the most genetically unrelated they can be within the Havanese breed. This reduces the chance of recessive diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer.
Leia is on the larger size for Havanese at around 14lbs. The sire, Pheonix, is much finer boned. I think the combination will produce some well-balaned, lovely puppies. Leia’s last litter was a litter of 9, 4 of whom ended up in show homes. I’m expecting a similarly nice result from this pairing. The sire is a CKC Grand Champion bred by Happy Paws and owned by Lynda Hand of Sedah Havanese. Both parents have their OFA CHIC numbers. Links to their OFA health testing is listed below:
Here are some pictures and video’s of Leia’s previous puppies:
