Bedlem Havanese in Linwood, Kansas, near the Kansas City metro, has been focused exclusively on the havanese for close to two decades. Deborah McHugh and her sister run the program together, showing their dogs to verify that each animal reflects true breed type before placing puppies in homes.

All adult dogs in the kennel carry AKC or CKC championship or grand championship titles, and each has completed the age-appropriate OFA health certifications required by the Havanese Club of America. Those credentials back up a set of memberships that includes HCA Breeder of Merit, HCA Breeder Referral, and AKC Breeder of Merit — a combination that makes Bedlem the only HCA-listed havanese breeder in the state of Kansas.

The show record reflects the program's depth. A Bedlem-bred dog earned Best of Breed at the 2022 HCA National Specialty, pointing to a lineage built on established champion bloodlines. Families looking for havanese puppies in Kansas from a show-titled, health-tested program will find Bedlem among the most credentialed options in the region.
