  • Kathy MasonYup, you caught the spirit of the Havee – when they’re flying through the air, ears streamlined, you got it! After 21 yrs with my spaniel (and Bert), it took something very special – and she’s it. I actually took her to him before agreeing to purchase – his opinion – ‘she’s a keeper’ – to the extent he is her guardian! He adores her. Buck is moving to Bridgeport Plaza in Dec. – I’ve gone to the old office for 50+ yrs.
    Bella is definately something special (I have 31 yrs +ive training).
    At almost 6 mos, she is a beautiful example of the pure breed. Stands about 5″, absolutely gorgeous coat ranging from 4 white paws to blond, apricot, chocolate tips. Loves to pose, a true dancer.
    How do we get in touch with you?ReplyCancel

  • Holly Garner-JacksonI don’t know why I never commented on these before… must have been my dialup problems! An amazing shoot and boy has she ever changed!ReplyCancel

  • Talemaker HavaneseIt was delightful to see Sasha’s images. We own the sire of this litter, Katsura and she looks a lot like him.

    We hold a puppy picnic each year in Richmond Hill. We will have to talk to you closer to the time to see if you are available and what your costs are.

    It is always nice to see your own dog in another dog’s face.

    Your eye is wonderful.ReplyCancel

  • YvonneYour photos are gorgeous and I love the different perspectives you bring to the animals!!
    Just one little point, Sasha is a Havanese and not a terrier. This breed is descended from the Bichon family of dogs and originated in Cuba. They are known for their exuberance and love of all things!! They especially love to “runlikehell” so your comment the she “goes like stink!” brought a smile to my face.ReplyCancel

  • Cat =^..^=These are such beautiful shots Illona! Such a little darling, can see the personality shine right through with these wonderful photos, bet Mom loves these, splendid work!ReplyCancel

  • Julie MillerI’m sure you receive countless compliments on your photography. You are amazing! I would love to have just a smidge of your talent behind the lens.

    A number of years ago on Flickr – I clicked, stumbled and fell in love with a photo of your Morley (standing in the leaves wearing his coat & little boots). Whenever I’m feeling blue, I just pull up your Facebook page & scroll my way to a lighter heart.

    Thank you for all the hours of enjoyment you have given to me.ReplyCancel
