Own a championship-line Havanese Superstar puppy — and through our breeding program, earn back the cost of your puppy and more. A true partnership built on love, trust, and the Havanese breed.
You adopt a beautiful Havanese Superstar puppy at the regular adoption price. You raise her as your own beloved family pet. When the time comes, she visits Kate for breeding, whelping, and the first 7 weeks with her litter — then she comes straight back home to you. In return, Kate rewards you generously for each litter.
Pay the regular adoption fee of $3,000 and bring home a championship-line Havanese Superstar puppy. She is yours — your family pet, your companion, your love.
She lives with you full-time. You provide her with love, great food, regular vet care, and a wonderful life. She is your dog in every sense of the word.
When it's time to breed, you bring her to Kate (near Bellingham, WA or Bozeman, MT). She stays with Kate for breeding, whelping, and the first 7 weeks with her puppies.
After 7 weeks, she comes straight back home to you. Kate handles everything during her stay — you just enjoy having her back!
For each litter, Kate gives you your choice of a puppy from the litter or a cash payment — and the amounts grow with each litter.
The program runs for up to 3 litters — whatever you are comfortable with. There is no pressure. After the program, she is fully and permanently yours.
For each litter, you choose: take home a puppy from the litter, or receive a cash payment. The rewards grow with each litter — and the first litter alone pays back your entire adoption fee.
| Litter | Your Reward Options | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Litter | A puppy from the litter OR $3,000 cash | Your original adoption fee — fully paid back. You essentially got your dog for free! |
| 2nd Litter | A puppy from the litter OR $4,000 cash | Now you're earning beyond what you paid. A beautiful bonus for a wonderful partnership. |
| 3rd Litter | A puppy from the litter OR $6,000 cash | A significant reward for your continued partnership — and your dog comes home to you forever. |
If you participate in all 3 litters and choose cash each time, you receive your original $3,000 puppy back plus an additional $10,000 — all while raising a dog you love. Or take home up to 3 beautiful championship-line Havanese puppies from the litters. The choice is always yours.
Total potential cash value: $13,000 · Or up to 3 puppies · Or any combination
Location: Guardian families need to be within reasonable driving distance of Bellingham, WA or Bozeman, MT, as your dog will need to visit Kate for breeding, birthing, and check-ins. Contact Kate to discuss your location — she considers each family individually.
Because that's what you paid for your puppy! The first litter essentially means you got your championship-line Havanese Superstar dog for free. You paid $3,000, you get $3,000 back — or a beautiful puppy from the litter. It's Kate's way of making this a true partnership, not just a business arrangement.
Absolutely not. The program is up to 3 litters — whatever you are comfortable with. If you do one litter and decide that's enough, that is completely fine. Kate will never pressure you. This is a partnership built on trust, and your comfort and your dog's wellbeing always come first.
Your dog stays with Kate for 7 weeks — covering the breeding, whelping (birth), and the critical first weeks of the puppies' lives. After 7 weeks, she comes straight back home to you. Kate takes exceptional care of every dog in her home — your girl will be loved and well cared for the entire time.
Kate selects the stud for each breeding. With her 40+ years of experience and deep knowledge of championship bloodlines, Embark DNA health testing, and breed improvement, Kate makes the best possible pairing decisions. You can always discuss this with Kate — she is always open and transparent.
Yes! For each litter, you have the choice: take a puppy from the litter or receive the cash payment. Many guardian families love taking a puppy — it's a wonderful way to expand your Havanese family with a dog you watched come into the world. The choice is always yours.
Your dog is fully and permanently yours — she always has been! After the program ends, Kate will spay her at Kate's expense, and your beloved companion is with you for the rest of her life. No strings attached, ever.
You need to be within reasonable driving distance of Bellingham, WA or Bozeman, MT, since your dog will need to visit Kate for breeding, birthing, and occasional check-ins. Contact Kate to discuss your specific situation — she considers each family individually and is always happy to talk it through.
Kate would love to talk with you about whether the Guardian Program is the right fit for your family. It's a wonderful arrangement — you get a championship-line Havanese Superstar dog, and together we work to preserve and improve this incredible breed. Call Kate directly or fill out an application and she'll be in touch.
