TESTIMONIALS

Vixen

I have had dogs my entire life, and have had the opportunity to experience many wonderful breeds. But my little Havanese from Lancaster's of Gold Canyon is the best puppy raising experience I have ever had. Lucy Lancaster is a responsible, passionate breeder who is committed to raising quality dogs with exceptional temperaments. I would highly recommend a Havanese from the Lancasters! SR

Snickers & Maya

I first met Lucy in 2009 when I was researching various hypoallergenic dog breeds, and the Havanese caught my eye and my heart. I now have 2 exceptional, loving dogs from the Lancasters. My dogs are superbly healthy, and it was a pleasure to have a good head start on potty training and leash training already in place when we brought each pup home. Lucy has given great support since then, from boarding the dogs during our vacations to training advice to puppy reunion parties. Lucy is a breeder who truly loves each dog and wants to produce only the highest quality pups. Everything she does is top-notch. My dogs are beside themselves with joy every time they see Lucy! I am so glad I found Lancaster's of Gold Canyon! KS

Hailey

When I decided to get a Havanese, I researched breeders in Arizona. Lancaster's of Gold Canyon was at the top. After meeting Lucy & Bob Lancaster, I knew this was where I was getting my puppy. I had pick of the litter and for 10 weeks I drove 1 hour to see Hailey and spend time with Lucy. Lucy spends so much time with her puppies, getting them acclimated to a variety of sights and sounds. Hailey is a very well adjusted 7 month old and I attribute this to Lucy. She is one of a kind!! WA

Rhody & Ari

I bought my first Havanese puppy from Lancaster's of Gold Canyon and was so pleased that I went back 8 months later and bought a second puppy! Lucy Lancaster is the best breeder that I've ever come across. She breeds and raises quality puppies, giving them lots of love and care, and she even takes the time to potty and leash train each of them before they find new homes. When you buy a puppy from Lancaster's of Gold Canyon, you become part of the Lancaster family. Lucy is always there to answer your questions and will even puppy sit when you go on vacation. I would recommend Lancaster's of Gold Canyon to anyone looking for a Havanese puppy!" JS

Bella

After over one year of research we concluded that the Havanese would fit our lifestyle the best. To our surprise we found a breeder in our area. We believe the breeder, Lucy, has as much passion toward her puppies as any parent has toward their children. While we were waiting in great anticipation to take our puppy home, Lucy went far beyond our expectations in providing us with many pictures and updates as to her development. On the highly anticipated day when we picked Bella up, Lucy spent a lot of time in providing us in-depth information on her care. Bella was already litter box and crate trained which made the transition to our home so easy! Since then she has created so much joy and delight in our home. She is very smart, playful and a constant close companion. She is very welcoming to all our friends and strangers too, and loves playing with children. She was great on recent road-trips to the southern Colorado Rockies and The Grand Canyon. Bella is now a joyous part of our family and she always keeps us smiling! JR

Oreo

When my friend told me that after a year of researching dogs she was getting a Havanese puppy, I decided our family needed one too. I went online and found Lancaster's of Gold Canyon and fell in love with a little black and white female puppy. Not having animals since I was a child, I was very apprehensive about how to care for a puppy. Lucy practically held my hand throughout the whole process of what I needed to buy, what and when to feed her and how to bath and take care of her. After our extensive research of other breeders and our exceptional experience with Lancaster's of Gold Canyon, we highly recommend them if you are considering a Havanese puppy. Lucy gives so much care and love to every puppy. She works with the puppies at all stages of their development up to and after the point that your new addition goes home with you - something we found to be very unique compared to other breeders. Havanese are easy and fun to train. Oreo is trained in agility courses, as a tennis ball return girl and every trick imaginable. Lucy, after almost three years, still takes the time to answer my questions and offer me advice. She offers boarding services; therefore, I get a worry free vacation and Oreo gets to play with her mom, siblings and other puppies in a familiar loving environment. We feel like we are a part of the Lancaster family and they are a part of ours. You simply won't find a better Havanese breeder. SS

Tyson

Our Havanese, Tyson, is the best thing to ever happen to our family! Besides being precious, he is very smart and playful. I had researched Havanese breeders for upwards of a year before finding Lucy of Lancaster's of Gold Canyon. I went to visit the puppy first, to make sure he was going to be a "fit" for our family; my husband is not a dog lover and was hesitant to have a dog. After spending 2 hours with Lucy, I knew this puppy would be mine. A few days later, we went again as a family to visit Lucy and the puppy. Making the best decision of our lives, Tyson, came home with us! He is, and continues to be, the greatest source of happiness for our family! Thanks to Lancaster's of Gold Canyon, we are proud owners of a wonderful dog!!! JB

Lexi

One day at Petsmart, I met Lucy, the breeder at Lancaster's of Gold Canyon. She had with her two of the most adorable dogs I had ever seen. I asked what kind of dogs they were? After a 45 minute lecture, I knew I had to have one and one from this breeder. The knowledge, love and care for each puppy was obvious. I gave Lucy my email address and was notified when the next litter arrived. We visited the new litter for about 6 weeks and finally decided on the one we wanted. Lexi is a beautiful white fluff ball, healthy and smart. She loves people and is very well adjusted thanks to Lucy's hard work. Lexi is totally litter box trained and leashed trained, and best of all, she goes into her crate for the night and doesn't utter a sound until I get her up in the morning. I can't wait to get Lexi a playmate and Lancaster's of Gold Canyon is the only breeder I would ever consider. A great big THANK YOU to Lucy. I am the owner of the most beautiful little Havanese. EN

Huey

Finding Lancaster's of Gold Canyon was like finding a winning lottery ticket! My husband and I feel like we have won the lottery with the purchase of our very first "Furkid". We did our research, and knew that we wanted a breeder who genuinely cared about the breed. After meeting Lucy and Bob, we knew that we were making the right choice.

While Lucy works hard with the puppies throughout their development, she provided us with the knowledge and tools to be the best dog owners we could be. We were educated with articles and books and felt more than prepared for our new addition to come home.

One thing that caught my attention when I visited the Lancaster's of Gold Canyon website was the phrase "Dogs of Distinction". This simple phrase sums up our little man. Huey couldn't be a better puppy. We'd heard the horror stories from friends - crying all night, accidents on the carpet, furniture destroyed. We have not experienced any of these things and attribute this to the guidance Lucy provided.

We visited the puppies weekly and Lucy provided us with pictures, updates and fun stories of their learning activities. We felt like we were truly adopting a family member and the Lancaster family is now part of ours.

We plan on adopting another Havanese from Lancaster's of Gold Canyon next year because we know we will never find a better Havanese breeder and we are proud to tell anyone who will listen about our wonderful experience. Huey is the true testament of what a great breeder can do. Thanks to the Lancasters for everything! T&H H









We devoted two years to researching Havanese and searching for a reliable, caring and loving breeder.  We selected two male puppies from health tests, pictures and a volume of helpful and important information provided voluntarily by Lancaster's of Gold Canyon.  We are so thrilled with our nearly two year old Boys that words cannot fully describe our joy.  We love them dearly and could not possibly be happier or more grateful!  We truly feel blessed.  RJ & A C
