    Hello, my name is Anna.  I am a former school teacher and currrently am a pediatric nurse at a local area hospital.  When I was a science teacher, my room to put it plainly, was a zoo, but not due to the children's behavior.  We had lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and some days cats and dogs.  At times, I felt like Noah leading his animals two-by-two.  I believe that the more a child is comfortable in their environment, the more relaxed they are to learn more effectively.  Many days, it was not uncommon to find a child curled up on a mat in the back of the classroom, reading their book to a dog.  I have always loved pets, but now that I am a nurse, I have a lot more free time that I dedicate to breeding, birthing, showing, training havanese puppies.  After many years of research and working with a dog breeding mentor, I found an unexpected love for the training of dogs, more specifically, the havanese breed.  I visited numerous breeders, heard their opinions of different breeders, researched family lineages of dogs and finally came to one conclusion, I love the havanese breed.  Once you spend time with one, I feel certain that you too, will feel the same way.

    The way I came up with my kennel name goes back to when I was a teacher.  When the children were changing classrooms, there was this one boy named Richard, who was the door monitor.  When the bell was getting ready to ring, he would start shouting into the hallway, "Come on everybody, hurry up and get into the FaustHouse."  They knew if the bell rang and they were outside the door, they were locked out and had to report to detention.  When I asked him about why he warned everyone everyday in the same manner, he stated, "Ms. Faust, it's always a trip in here, who would want to miss out?  This is your house and out there is the street, so I call it the FaustHouse."  After that year, all the students started calling me Ms. FaustHouse.  Every now and then, I see a former student and they still call me Ms. FaustHouse.  With the name, I thought that would be a good way to commemorate such a fun part of my past with such an enjoyable present hobby.  I currently have 4 adult havanese, 2 puppies, and one cat, named Maxine.
