Ch. SS Twinkle Little Star ROM FF born Jan. 5, 1997 by Ch. Katrina's Charmer of Manfred ROMX
out of SS Manfred's Formally Attired
Twinkle is linebred off of Macho's Cuban Bonito and Ti-Ara's Anita of Katrina-parents of Charmer
Both Macho's Cuban Bonito and Anita of Katrina lived to be 17 years old. Both were very influential in the Havanese Breed. We looked for over a year and visited different breeders to find our first Havanese that we thought worthy of breeding and were lucky enough to find Twinkle. Her mother was High Point Havanese two years in a row ( including a Best in Show) before the breed was admitted into AKC when they were only shown in rare breed shows without professional handlers or advertising budgets.
The old, accepted way to start a breeding program is to find the best linebred female you can find and then breed her enough to see "if she produces not only healthy puppies but outproduces herself". Twinkle has done this for generations.
She is the Foundation for Starborn Havanese and the reason we do not buy females from anyone else to breed. She has brought us great health, intelligence, and vigor. There is an old horse breeders adage that says to "start with a strong back end". Twinkle also gives our line strong rears of which there is not an overabundance in the breed. See her move in her video below at age 11.
Producer of 5 generations of healthy Havanese in the Starborn line.
Twinkle will be found on the bottom line in ALL pedigrees from Starborn Havana Silk Dogs.
Twinkle is 13 years old and still plays like a puppy!
