About Me

My name is Jeanne Roane, owner and operator of "Southern Silks." My vision is to breed quality small companion dogs that exude health and personality. Although I have had many house pets, I always returned to the Maltese and Havanese as the "friend" to share my home. I can truly say, with only a little bit of maintenance, they do not shed or smell "doggie".

ALL of my breeding stock are AKC registered purebred dogs that are prime representatives of their breed. Although my dogs are from the top show lines in the country, as I want the best for my clients, prices are very reasonable and in line with quality pet prices. A loving, forever family placement is the priority with me.

For myself, probably like most serious responsible breeders, am continually striving to breed the perfect dog... grin. However, even more so, is the passion to provide to dog lovers like myself, a small, healthy, beautiful silky haired, sweet tempered companion to love, cuddle and spoil. After "tossing" around which breed to select, the Maltese or Havanese, I finally decided to have both, as each serves a different need. For families with small children and large, nothing brings family time more joy than the charming, affectionate and personality plus Havanese. In turn, my little Malteses dolls are so precious, sweet tempered and loving that home would not be a home without one.

As I put much thought into matching each puppy with their new parents preferences, please let me get to know you so we can decide what would be a good fit as to personality, size and temperament. By now, you have begun to realize that this is more than a business to me. It is my desire to share the joy and companionship these small friends have brought into my life with you.

A special thanks to Ms. Audrey Smid who got me started by entrusting me with her quality Maltese breeding stock.
