I would like to share with you how great pepper our Havanese dog is. We got her 9 years ago from Katie and would like to share how awesome pepper has been since day one. I feel the way they raise the puppies from day one is why they are so great. Pepper is super smart. She knows 9 tricks and is the best around people, loves to be greeted and then will follow you to sit by you or in your lap. She is a total lap dog. Little kids go up to her and grab her face and it does not bother her. The vet and groomer both love how easy she is and they say they wish all dogs were like her. I feel that the way that are treated from birth and raised with Katie and her business, Sweetwood Havanese, is the best.

Stella
2/13/2024-Stella is 6 months old and the joy of our lives, besides our grandkids! We have never owned a Havanese before, but we did research and decided that was what we wanted. Now, we are Havanese parents for life! Stella is so smart and loves everyone and brings joy to our lives every day! We can't thank Sweetwood Havanese enough and will be a returning customer in the future. |
Gigi
9/15/2023 - I got Gigi for my mom from Katie after she lost her first Havanese last November and the amount of joy we have gotten from wild girl is insurmountable!!! From pick up she didn't cry or stress she found her place in our family quickly. She is the biggest cuddles and also has a wild side playing with her best friend Charlie ( German Shepard) Katie does an amazing job with the puppies and is so easy to work with. We will definitely be getting another soon! We take her everywhere and she loves, tennis balls, swimming, boating, hiking, travel, beach, snuggles and her cookies! Kt |
Twyla
6/23/2022
Twyla is almost six months old and ready to start the process of training to be a service dog. Her trainer says she shows real promise of succeeding in service dog training as she is a confident, eager to please, and, a SMART puppy. She's a ball of adolescent energy right now, and divides her time between cuddling and getting into mischief- but she brings so much love and joy to our home that we don't mind the rolls of shredded toilet paper or the chewed up slippers. Everyone who meets her falls under her spell, and she's got the funniest personality. I can't imagine my life without her and I'm so glad I went with Sweetwood Havanese. ~ AR

Hi Katie. I took Bari to the vet yesterday and everything looks great! He is a bundle of energy. Is a bundle of Energy good? Haha for the most part yes. I think it’s normal puppy behavior? He goes crazy for a little bit and then crawls into his crate or a lap to pass out. Lol So far he has been a delight to have. Thank you! |

Barlow is such a stalwart, confident little guy! That’s because of the wonderful good start you gave him! Thank you!
It’s getting chilly again- supposed to snow Sunday. He loves racing around on the driveway, but apparently he’d had enough- sat down and wouldn’t budge!😄

Hi Katie, I didn’t want this day to pass without letting you know that Oliver (from Vinnie and Lucy) is two years old today and the most loved dog around. Everyone has to stop when he is out to say hello and he always welcomes a quick pat from neighbor or delivery person. He is so easy to care for and still answers to the whistle that he trained me to over 18 months ago. So if you see one or both of his parents please tell them good job and give them a little love from Oliver and me.
The pictures are of Oliver and he is waiting at the door of his best friend Yoda. They are both all boy and Oliver loves Yoda just like you would a human best friend. So thank you again. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. Have a wonderful holiday. ❤️❤️ Mary & Oliver |
Good morning!
Today is 4 years since I took Xena home! I love her so much, and my life is so much better with her in it! Thanks I’m so glad! How can she already be 4 years old! Time goes to fast. I know! The only thing I think I regret is not getting TWO! Anyway, thanks for bringing this beautiful girl into the world. Have a wonderful day! 🥰 I have so many faves of Xena. I love seeing her full body but there’s also ones of her cute face with it’s expressions. |

Thank you Katie. Otis is a wonderful puppy! I brought him home and he adapted to everything very well. It shows that he was raised in a loving environment. Thanks again for a wonderful addition to my family, TBM and Otis

Rocky is *the best* puppy ever. He was immediately crate trained, is a delight and super curious. He never bites, but does bark a bit - but it's so cute that we don't mind! He is the perfect addition to our family. And bonus: He gets along with our other two dogs (Corgi and Golden), and is helping keep our Corgi's weight down with all of the romping they do. |

Poppy is 5 months old and a pure delight. Smart,funny and very loving. She is with me always and sleeps right next to me. She is very healthy and weighs 7 pounds now. Katie is a great breeder and we are very thankful to have one of her puppies.s ❤️ My whole experience with Sweetwood Havanese and Katie was wonderful. You can tell she really cares for her dogs and puppies. From my initial inquiry to leaving with my little girl and her adorable gift bag, loves her ping pong ball, couldn’t have been better. I can say anyone to have a puppy from Katie will be very fortunate. 💗 Sharon F. |

Edgar, aka Eddy is the second boy we've received from Sweetwood Havanese. I never thought we'd have two but I fell in love with our first so much that after 2 years, we decided he needed a friend. We brought Edgar home the end of October and he is the sweetest, most cuddly little guy with an adventurous side. He is healthy and growing like a weed. He loves everyone who comes into our home and especially loves his puppy brother. He's a dream second pup and we are so happy that he's joined our family. Thank you Katie and family for giving him such a great start! Sara M & Edgar (Eddy) |
7/2019 - I saw your testimonial section and had to write one because Sammy, our Havanese dog we bought from you, is the best dog I've ever owned. Honestly. We have 4 kids, a crazy cat, and people constantly coming and going at our house and Sammy is just part of it all. He's not even scared of fireworks. He played with the kids during the fireworks outside on the 4th of July and participated in the parade with hundreds of people. We couldn't believe it. Thank you so much. Obviously, we love Sammy a lot!

12/2018 - Charlie is a ruff and tumble boy who loves everyone he meets. He does things I have never seen a dog do before like stack his empty food dish on his water dish and add a toy. He will be a year old at the end of this month and is the right weight for his bone structure according to his vet. Charlie weighs 17.3 lbs.
9/2018 - I got Stella a few weeks ago and she is the sweetest, most friendly dog to everyone she meets. She has a lot of energy which is so much fun. I could tell that she had been socialized at a very young age, which was so awesome. I am so happy to have her, we are going on a long life journey together. Abby M.
8/2018 - Henry is so funny and clever. He taught himself to ask to go out to potty. He is "velcro dog" who is happy so long as he is stuck by my side. Maxie S.
11/2017 - We brought Oscar home almost 2 weeks ago. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is a sweet, lovable, smart boy! He loves to play and cuddle. He loves sleeping in his crate at night and sleeps all night without waking up. It's clear he was well cared for and loved before he joined our family. He rarely barks and has a sweet, playful personality. He is much loved and gives just as much love back. Thank you Katie, we adore him!
"Sawyer slept all night in his crate beside our bed, and didn't make a peep. He has been very good and seems very happy. We can tell he came from a wonderful home!" - Forever Home in Montana
"Gaudalupe is so sweet, we are in love! And she is super spoiled. She is learning to surf, LOL! Too cute!!! My son loves her, she's very kid-friendly. She loves to snuggle." - Forever Home in Florida
"We are enjoying Copper so much. He is full of love and energy. He is amazing! He loves being outside especially playing in the snow. All of my daughter's friends want one and are lined up to pet-sit."- Forever Home in Alaska
"Armstrong is doing great. He's made tons of friends already. Thank you, again!"- Forever Home in Oregon
"Cooper hopes you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. He did! He is doing so well with nighttime in his crate and going outdoors for. potty. He is affable, curious, cuddly sweet, and learning quickly. We are so happy. We're also exhausted at the end of the day. "
"Hi Katie!
Mia is doing great, she is such a wonderful little puppy...we are crazy about her😊 She is a smart girl...she taught herself to ring the front door stopper when she needs to go potty. Quite impressive! We are so glad we got her from you I know your puppies are raised with love."

"Thanks so much for the book you sent. It's already been a big help to us. Cooper is adjusting very well and we are having such fun with him."
"We are in LOVE! Thank you! Joey will have a fun and very loving life with us."
"Hi Katie! We just love this dog! All the kids in the neighborhood come over to play with her and everyday we meet the kids at the bus stop and they chase her all around the park."
"Mr. Bojangles AKA Bojo is doing great. He has started puppy classes at Unleashed Petco and is learning sit, down, & look! He has 1-2 walks a day on leash and is enjoying exploring new places. We are off on our first longer road trip to Bellingham tomorrow and he will be traveling in style with his harness/bed. He has learned how to ring the bell on the door but hasn't made the connection to going outside yet. He sleeps all night in his crate without a peep and does most of his potty outside as long as I remember. What a joy he is in our lives!"
"Annie is a beautiful dog. Really soft hair and the groomer loves taking care of her for me."
"Romeo now Rudy is the love of my life. What a great little man. Rudy makes the days so much fun. Rudy has a girlfriend name Georgia Rose (a Tibetan Terrier). They only have eyes for each other. He plays well with other dogs and loves people who stop and want to meet Rudy. Rudy goes to Lexi-Dog a few times a week just to burn off some of the puppy spirit he has. I have been thinking about adding another sometime soon. He makes whistling sounds when he in deep sleep and moves like he is running a dog race. Love my Rudy." Linda T.
