Awww...how nice of you. I've never acquired a pet from a breeder...don't know if I could make it through the process myself. lol
The Havanese are sure cute...great breed choice for Florida. I think they are a breed I'd consider, especially if I wasn't so in love with Yorkies. lol I only know of one breeder here for reasons unrelated to the breed, but sure enjoyed looking at photos of the dogs.
How wonderful a friend you are!
I hope Betty finds her dream dog!
