About Karyme
 Saturday evening with the rescues
I am a Havanese exhibitor and breeder, anhd all-round dog lover, located in Canberra, Australia. My love of Havanese started many years ago when I read about this delightful breed and decided they sounded like the perfect companion dog. Decades passed before Havanese came to Australia, and I am now lucky enough to have these gorgeous muppets in my life.
I started my involvement in the dog world in dog rescue and dog sports. My first dogs were saved from pounds, and they have fun competing in obedience and agility. I was involved with dog rescue in the 2000's, and during this time, devoted much of my life to saving dogs that, through no fault of their own, ended up at a shelter. In 2008 I got my first Havanese. 'Magic' entered my life with a bang and stole my heart. I spent the following three years showing and titling Havanese and gaining the knowledge and experience needed to become a breeder. In 2010 I imported 'Buzz' to use in my future breeding program. We flew to NZ to collect him and accompany him on the flight home. See photo - that's not a setup, he really was brought to the loading dock by forklift. In early 2012, Karyme's first litter of Havanese was born, and the rest - as they say - is history.

Showing
We regularly show our Havanese, and occasionally campaign other people's
dogs as well. In a short time we have had fantastic results in the show
ring. Our first Havanese 'Magic' is a multi-BIG and Royal BOB winner,
and already has multiple champion progeny. 'Magic' has now attained his Supreme Championship title.
In our first three years of showing, we titled two of our own Havanese, and campaigned three Havanese to their titles for other people. Since 2009 we have been awarded seven Royal Show Challenges, including five Best of Breeds, and two Puppy In Group awards. We won the FIRST 25 point breed challenge for Havanese in Australia.
We show predominantly in SE NSW and the ACT
