Our puppy prices range from $1500.00 to $2500.00 depending on pet vs show/breeding and/or pedigrees. We require a $500.00 deposit for you to be added to our waiting list. Once the puppies are born we start our selection process. If you do not see a puppy that you like at this time you can get a full refund of your deposit or you can wait until our next litter. The selection is in order of our deposits received with show/breeding depositer's being placed at the front of the line. Once you select a puppy the deposit is non refundable.

You will not be able to visit the puppies until after they have their 6 weeks shot. Before that time they are acceptable to any/all diseases. We would never knowingly put our puppies at risk.

Our dogs all receive an extensive vet check on a regular basis. Eyes, ears, heart, lungs, patella's and hips are included. The puppies will come with an extensive vet check before leaving our home and up to date on all shots and wormings. They come with a two year health guarantee covering any problem that is congenitally fatal. You would get another puppy or a full refund. You can be assured I stand behind my puppies 100%. We love to stay in contact with our babies as they were once part of our family! :o)

Show puppies are in no way guaranteed to win in the show ring, but they should – with proper care on the part of the buyer – exemplify the breed standard.

You will get a puppy pack with your puppy that includes: shot/worming records, vet check, sample puppy food, FAQ sheet on how to care for your new baby, guarantee contract and a new toy.

The real truth about Certifications:

Havanese are a very hardy breed and have few hereditary diseases. They have a life span of 12 to 16 years. However, as with all long living breeds they can have health problems.

There are approximately 10 certifications that can be performed on dogs. All certifications are done by a specialist in that area. For instance CERF would be performed by an Optomologist. OFA Cardia takes a visit to a Cardiologist. BAER certifications are performed by a neurologist. Hips an Orthopedic specialist. The list goes on and on. I am not in the market to put other breeders down but I am amazed at the breeders that will pick one or two certifications and then use scare tatics on potential buyers. You will see such statements as: "DO NOT buy a puppy from any breeder that does NOT do BAER testing or OFA testing." I see this as a selling technique and my question would be why did they only choose those tests and not all ten? Are the eyes more important than the heart? Is loss of hearing more important than Patella issues?

Another point is most of the tests have to be performed every
6 months or yearly for them to be viable. Many breeders only do them one time. This makes the certification really useless. What about 2 years later and the dog develops one of these problems and is still being bred? The breeder would not have a clue. I pondered on this for a long time. I wanted to do what was best for my dogs and at the same time keep my puppies affordable. After many discussions with my Vet we decided on semi annual check-ups. He is more than capable of making sure they do not have any problems. If a problem were to be found I would then take them to a specialist. So far my dogs have all checked out perfect as have my puppies! This is exactly what we do as humans. We go to our regular doctor first then if he finds a problem you are sent to a specialist. We do not make appointments with 10 specialists first.

Thirdly, dogs are living animals. Which means anything could happen. You can test both parents for all 10 problems and still produce a puppy with a problem. What about cancer? kidney failure? Liver disorder? Just to name a few...There are many problems that could arise that are not preventable. I would never breed an unhealthy dog. I depend on my Vet to guide me and check them out about every 6 months. But I think we also have to use some common sense. It's funny that we have children and as parents we do not go through all of this testing before we have a baby.

Fourthly, the expense of having each dog certified in 10 different areas would be astronomical. The puppies would have to be sold at approximately $3000.00 each just to cover the costs of the tests. No adopter would be willing to pay that especially since it still does not guarantee that the puppy would never have a problem.

I can promise you I am a very honest caring breeder. I love my dogs with all my heart and take excellent care of them. I would never knowingly breed a dog with any problems whatsoever. I make sure my puppies pass an extensive vet exam before they are sold. The buyer gets a copy of this exam along with the shot/worming record. If you have any other questions concerning my Havanese please feel free to call or email.

 

God Bless!
