Heartfelt Havanese

Heartfelt Havanese, run by Mary Fincher in Raleigh, North Carolina, focuses on AKC-registered Havanese bred from champion bloodlines. The program participates in the AKC's Bred with H.E.A.R.T. designation, which requires breeders to perform at minimum the health tests recommended by the AKC parent breed club and to engage in ongoing breeder education.

Health testing across the program covers hearing, eyesight, hip evaluations, bile acid and liver function, and thyroid screenings. Stud dogs carry titles ranging from AKC Champion to Grand Champion, and at least one sire in the program ranked among the top Havanese in the country during his show career. The females in the breeding program similarly come from champion and international champion lineages, with several having earned their own AKC titles.

Mary came to Havanese breeding specifically because she wanted a dog well-suited to life with grandchildren and multigenerational families, and that focus on temperament alongside conformation has remained central to the program. Families looking for Havanese puppies in North Carolina from show-quality, health-tested lines will find that Heartfelt Havanese draws from decades of relationships with other respected breeders in the breed community.
