From Our Home to Yours
When you visit our home, you’ll notice that we are situated on a half acre of land deep within the Grey Bruce County surrounded by large trees, lush grass and tall cornfields. We wouldn’t have it any other way. Our back yard is the ultimate playground for all of our pups and grandkids alike :)
Our adult Havanese love to run and play and have plenty of on and off-leash training + fun. Each pup is well socialized and recieves a ton of love and gentle handling by us and our growing crew of grandsons (we currently have four with another on the way). We truly believe that this one-on-one attention and socialization with family and other pets is a huge part of what sets our pups apart and helps prepare them for your home whether or not you have small children.
We have been blessed to be able to provide quality and personalized care to each pup and their parents through every special stage. Mothers know that the birthing process is a sacred experience and we believe that all mothers (including dog mamas) deserve the very best. That’s why we have a specialized heated birthing suite with 24/7 surveillence that our pregnant moms have all to themselves to enjoy a little extra peace and tranquility before birth, during recovery and nursing. I can’t begin to express how much joy it brings us to see nature at work while we watch each tiny baby grow into a happy and healthy pup!
With your help, we can stay connected and watch them grow into beautiful adults that are loved and cherished by you. Your emails and photos warm our hearts more than you’ll ever know! That’s why we are so selective about each pup getting the best possible match as you become their new parent and pack leader.
What People Are Saying
“What is better than one Havanese from Darlene at Matalsha Companions? Two Havanese!
We got our girl, Sadie, from Darlene over 5 years ago now. It has been ‘Havanese LOVE’ from that day on! Darlene is a reputable, conscious breeder who raises her dogs with intregrity and most all - the pups are so loved, cared for, and of course ADORABLE!
Our Havanese is so loveable and fun, smart and full of personality. Watching her grow has been a joy. Last year, we decided Sadie needed a buddy! Without hesitation, we returned to Darlene. Now Oakley is part of our family. His arrival has made things even more exciting! We knew we were in good hands going back to Darlene. She has become part of our extended ‘dog family’.
Havanese are a great family breed and a companion for all. We have told Darlene, one day we may be back for our third! Havanese love is the real deal!
Thank you Darlene, for passing along these little treasures to their forever home with us.”
