Welcome to Lúdico Havana Silks!
Lúdico means playful in Spanish and reflects the personality of these wonderful little dogs. These little dogs are very intellegent, curious and love to run and play. They miss you when you aren't around. Even when they get into mischief, they have a way of looking at you so that you burst into laughter and run for the camera for that 'Kodak moment'!

I am not a kennel. Our dogs live with us, eat with us, watch TV with us, and sleep with us. I will have puppies available periodically. If you don't mind waiting for one of these wonderful little dogs, please fill out the online questionaire or contact me so that I can send you one.
My Havana Silk Dogs are dual registered as Havanese through the American Kennel Club (AKC) and as Havana Silk Dogs through the Havana Silk Dog Association of America. So what is a Havana silk dog? The Havana Silk Dog is a "re-created breed". It represents the efforts of a group of dedicated breeders to recreate a type of dog often referred to as the "Havana Silk Dog" which was popular in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Utilizing old artifacts and by carefully selecting foundation bloodstock from the US, Eastern Europe, and Cuba displaying the phenotype sought, breeders have managed to produce a dog that both closely resembles these lovely dogs and which now "breeds true".
As a breeder, it is my goal to produce healthy puppies with good temperment, while improving the breed. I see myself as being responsible for these puppies and will make sure every puppy has a good and loving home. My commitment to breeding includes:
- Carefully selecting and researching the pedigrees, health, and Havana silk dog standard qualities of any selected stud dogs so that I can improve the breed.
- Ensuring my bitch, Mia, is healthy and providing superior prenatal and postnatal care.
- Carefully selecting homes in which my puppies are placed and staying in touch with my puppy buyers to provide any guidance or instructions as needed.
- Being prepared to take back any puppy I produce should the owners be unable to keep the animal and not producing more dogs that I am able to care for.
Take your time to visit and browse. If you have any questions, I am more than happy to follow up with you.

All deposits received before September 12th will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association. If you would prefer, you can donate your $200 deposit directly to the Alzheimer's Association on my Pacific NW Memory Walk site.
Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive and fatal brain disease. As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with it today. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. Today it is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States and it is the 2nd most feared disease after cancer. Please consider donating.
Stay tuned. Who will be the lucky dog?
