Testimonials

We got to pick up our Georgie on Saturday, October 10, 2015. Our lives changed forever. Georgie greets us everyday with a smile and a tail wagging. There is nothing we wouldn’t do for him and the unconditional love we receive back is priceless. It all started with contacting Kim and chatting several times before we visited her and her puppies. She was pleasant, informative and very friendly. First impressions are very important to me. I didn’t have one worry about phoning or chatting with Kim. I never felt like I was intruding or bothering her. I think our only one regret is not getting two puppies that day. If I knew then what I know now and the love and joy we have, we would have brought two family members home that beautiful day.

My husband and I are long-time dog owners, having loved a Golden Retriever and three Schipperkes over the years, with our last Schipperke leaving us four years ago. At that point, we said that we really shouldn’t have another dog, as we have downsized to an apartment and are not so young anymore! However, our hearts have been yearning for a dog, and even before the pandemic hit, I had been researching breeds and breeders. As the shutdown began in the winter, we had narrowed the breed choice to a Havanese and had begun researching Ontario breeders. I was impressed immediately by the videos on Kim’s Facebook page – her love and care for her adult dogs and puppies, and the wonderful socialization and stimulation that she provided for the puppies. We spent time on a waiting list, of course, and we needed to be approved as potential dog parents, but the time and effort certainly was worth it! We brought home Devon in mid-May, and he has brought so much joy and laughter into our home. He loves everyone – dogs and people – he is smart and does certainly have a will of his own at times! We have taken the puppy and intermediate classes at When Hounds Fly, and of course the training continues. He has been the easiest puppy to housetrain, and he loves to ride in the car. We are so happy to have found Kim, and we know that Devon will be a loving companion and member of the family for many years to come.

It is with the utmost pleasure and confidence that I recommend Kim as a breeder. We got our Ellie from Kim in June of 2017. 
From our first phone call, it was evident the care and attention that is given to each and every dog that is in her home. From the moment they are born , she is with them and they remain her priority until they go to their forever homes. Her babies are lovingly raised, nurtured and socialized to be beautiful family members.The health and wellness of her dogs is at the forefront of Kim’s practice. As a responsible, ethical breeder, Kim ensures her dogs are healthy, have regular testing and lead happy lives. The lovely temperament and excellent health of the puppies is the result of carefully planned and monitored litters. Kim places great thought and consideration into every puppy and she should take great pride in the quality of dogs that she breeds. Our family does not hesitate to recommend Kim Mason as a Havanese breeder. She’s given us one of the loves of our life.

It is hard to remember life before we had [Lucy]. 
Thanks for picking the perfect pup for us.

I found Heart’s Delite after researching Havanese breeders. What separated Kim was that she really wants to know why you want a dog, what your experience is with pets, and what you want personality wise in your future pet. I think it is that last point that really helps as you get a dog that matches you.

Larry is wonderful. He is a happy boy, full of love. Strangers in the street think they are his special person as he just wants the attention of humans wherever he can get it and goes in for a cuddle at their feet. And he loves to play and play and play, with his dog friends. I couldn’t ask for more in a pet, he is perfect.

Parker has stolen all of our hearts and is loved by all of us.

Lisa Macchia 

Kim we are so thankful to you for bringing our beautiful and healthy Sophie into our lives. She brings absolute joy to everyone who meets her. She loves her home in the North where she is active in enjoying the great outdoors. As much she loves the cold and snow she always looks forward to running on the beaches in Florida. Thank you again for this gift.

Susan and Jeff

I just wanted to send an email explaining how thankful I am to find a breeder like you who educated me so much about dogs and the dog you gave to us. I wanted to say that Ranger is just amazing. He’s the best dog I could ever have asked for. We love him very much and are so happy he is the new addition to our family. After having him for over a year now I realized he’s energetic, playful, and calm all at the same time. He loves to run outside, go on walks and chill with us while we watch movies. Ranger cheers us up when we’re feeling sad, angry and stressed and he will always be there for us. We love him beyond words and are so happy we found you and that you gave us this wonderful dog.

I have been privileged to have as companions several golden retrievers, a duck toller, a border collie and many other furry creatures of the equine and feline variety. They have all lived rich, full and well-loved lives. Suffice to say though, I have met a breeder or two.

I can say without equivocation that I have never known a breeder who invests more heart and soul into her animals than Kim. She is absolutely passionate about giving her own dogs (all her personal and beloved pets) a life filled with cuddles. She brings that same care and devotion to each puppy – from thoughtful breeding selection to daily individual positive interaction and stimulus. The outcome? … You get a devoted, bright, engaged and “ready to take on the world by your side” partner.

Kim Mason is a true professional an extremely passionate, caring and dedicated breeder with  an innate talent for matching the exact right puppy with the right family. I can never thank her enough for picking my sweet  boy Parker out for me. He is perfect in every way with a beautiful temperament, so loving and smart and literally draws everyone in who meets him with his kisses and smiley face!
I would not hesitate to recommend Hearts Delite Havanese as one of the best Havanese breeders! You are going to get a quality puppy that is breed for temperament and health and the first eight weeks of their life is filled with love, caring and proper socialization. You can’t ask for more than that! I am truly forever thankful to Kim!

Susan Jacobson

Kim is an amazing breeder and we knew that right from the beginning, the first call we had with her felt like a job interview! That call showed us the level of passion, care and love she has for her dogs: she wanted to make sure we were ready for the commitment of having a puppy. A few weeks later we had the opportunity to visit Kim’s home and meet two of the puppies, she watched us interact with them and called us the following day with her decision. Our Lula is 4 1/2 years old now and has not had any health issues, she is still showing the same good temperament, she is funny, smart, sweet, and beautiful. We love her to pieces and she is the perfect match for our family.

The Tanikawa Family

When Kim asked for a testimony, I jumped at the chance to brag about our beautiful boys that we adopted from Hearts Delite. We have not had any health issues with our boys. Our vet always gives them a clean bill of health. I strongly believe this is due to the careful breeding and excellent start in life provided by Kim. Her devotion, drive and love for the Havanese breed shows by breeding healthy, well adjusted happy pups.We are so thankful to Kim for entrusting us to provide a loving home to two of her precious pups. Our little Jax is 5 and Odus just turned 3. They are inseparable.Thanks again Kim. Your boys are doing great!

Rick and Pat

Kim has been such a joy and professional to work with since the initial time our family decided to adopt a brand new puppy from Hearts Delite Havanese.

After some initial research and conversations with Kim, it was clear that she was the right breeder for us. Her time, commitment and care was clearly evident from the start and our first conversation over the phone. We had a very nice discussion about the breed, the benefits, things to consider, history, tips, care etc. Her extensive knowledge, expertise and pure passion for what she does definitely sets her apart from other breeders. She possesses an intimate relationship with all her dogs and takes great care.

Upon pick up of our little Milo, she thoroughly went through the details of dog ownership and all the necessary requirements. She helped prepare for the next stage of our family’s new addition and I was thoroughly relieved that she covered everything for us.

When she left and brought little Milo to me, my heart exploded with glee and holding our new puppy just made all 2020 worries and hardships go away immediately. She chose the PERFECT puppy for us and an array of emotions overcame. Excitement, joy, happiness, cheer, delight and LOVE were just a few emotions that couldn’t be helped. We fell in love with him within seconds.

To Kim – We cannot thank you enough for what you have brought to our family. You made this life experience an easy and incredible one and wish you much success in life and in business. Christmas came early and our hearts are so filled with so much love to give Milo. I am easily open as a future referral and potential customer again in the future!

Simba is the love of our lives and we can’t thank Kim enough for matching him to us. He is so perfect!

 
He is our first puppy and we got him home in Nov of 2019. Kim was so patient in answering all our questions and explaining to us how things will change for good once we have a puppy home. 

Simba’s features are so beautiful and his fur is so soft. It is a proof that all puppies are bred with so much care and love. We still keep looking at all the videos Kim posts on Facebook and they are a joy to watch. 

Loved our experience with Hearts Delite Havanese. Thank you Kim!

Divya & Sriram

There is no other word I can use to describe Kim better than ‘love’. Each and every one of her puppies is given everything they could ever want and need and it all comes straight from her heart. The minute I saw her Facebook videos I knew she was the perfect breeder for us. 

Kim is a kindhearted, compassionate person who is extremely passionate about what she does. She is a MASTER matchmaker—picking the puppy who is perfect for your home. The minute my family and I held Charlie we knew he was meant to be. And Charlie knew it too. 

When we reached out to Kim we were grieving over the loss of our first Havanese called Lucky. She has honoured him by dubbing Charlie “Hearts Delite’s Lucky Charm”. 

Charlie certainly lives up to that name. He is loving, hilarious, cuddly, and beautiful inside and out. He loves his mama and his grandparents. We cannot imagine our lives without him. And we feel so lucky to have him and to have met Kim. 

Thank you a million times over Kim. You have a huge place in my heart.

Megan Laursen

We were thrilled to learn that Kim had selected us to be the parents of our precious Bentley. We have been the lucky owners of Havanese dogs for the past 20 years and when it came time to welcome a new addition, there was never any doubt which breed we would choose and what breeder we would be reaching out too.  My sister and brother-in-law obtained both of their Havanese (Shiloh and Lucas) from Kim and over the years they would often speak so highly of her.  

From the moment we spoke with Kim, we knew right away that our next puppy had to come from her.  We are confident in saying that we have never come across a breeder as knowledgeable and dedicated to the development of healthy, well socialized puppies, while maintaining the integrity of this special breed.

Our Bentley has proven to be the perfect little boy who loves people, playing constantly and even watching television!  He is a real clown!  I’m sure like his cousins Shiloh and Lucas, he is well on the way of becoming a life long Maple Leafs fan!

Kim, thank you once again for this opportunity.  We are sure Bentley will bring many years of happiness to our family.

Hi Kim,

I hope you’re doing fantastic and enjoying Spring! Thought today was a great occasion to send along a pupdate.

As Charlotte and her siblings celebrate 5 months of puppyhood today, she is also celebrating graduation from her Level 1 obedience course! Charlotte is wicked smart and loves the training we do with her throughout each day. It’s going to take another year or more to be able to master all that she has learned indoors in the unlimited settings the world has to offer. As with any youngster it’s a long and rewarding learning process.

While Charlotte instantly embraced the use of the Potty Patch indoors this winter, transitioning outdoors to the yard since the snow has melted and the weather has warmed continues to be a challenge for her. It’s a whole new world outdoors for her and everything distracts her from doing her business. She is a hearty walker, is well-socialized indoors and out to sounds, people, and other animals, and sleeps eight hours overnight. She loves her crate almost as much as she loves us, but is confused that the cat just wants to be left alone.

We couldn’t be happier or feel more blessed than we are by Charlotte! Thank you for bringing her into our lives.

John & Lidia

Sophie is the sweetest and most joyful little soul who brightens our days with her humourous antics, her kisses and cuddles.   She is a real little trouper about going outside in the winter and very patient when we bundle her up in her onesie and ski jacket to face the elements…lol.  She immensely loves her belly rubs and gives us a nudge if we dare to use our cell phone when we are snuggled up to her.  She is teaching us lots of life lessons for sure. We are so thankful that you chose Sophie for us Kim.  She is such a blessing!!!

Stay healthy and nice and toasty.
