Welcome to Bristolwood Havanese. After breeding and competing with my Golden Retrievers I started searching for a smaller breed that would fit into my family and would get along with my Golden Retrievers. The Havanese breed was a perfect fit. A smaller but sturdy dog that can run and play with the big dogs but can also cuddle and sit in my lap comfortably. I was also thrilled this is a non-shedding breed making it suitable for many families with allergies. I enjoy showing my Havanese and am proud of my accomplishments as an Owner/breeder/handler. 
As a breeder I am proud to be recognized by the American Kennel Club as a Breeder of Merit and by Good Dog for our excellent health testing practices.  We strive to produce puppies with correct structure and a loving playful temperament. I am a past member and past Vice President of the Golden Retriever Club of Greater Toledo. I am also a member of the Havanese Club of America, the parent club for the breed. I also started and operated a successful pet boarding, grooming and training facility for over 20 years. This business is now owned and operated by my son and daughter-in-law.
 We take great care in planning our litters prior to breeding. We do all of the health testing as recommended by the Havanese Club of America. Copies of all health clearances are provided in the puppy book that goes home with each puppy. Although I owned and operated a boarding kennel (Gold Star Pet Resort, Inc.) all of my puppies and dogs live in my home with my family. Puppies are raised in my family room where they receive lots of attention and socialization. We believe early socialization is of upmost importance and we employ the Early Neurological Stimulation exercises as presented by Puppy Culture program. As a breeder I am committed to the puppies we have bred and am always available to the families of my puppies throughout their lives.
