Please check with us to see if we have any puppies available because I do not always list them here. You need to know that all my pet puppies go on a spay/neuter contract. I also do not ship and prefer to place puppies in California when possible. Please make sure that your puppy comes from parents who have had their health testing done that is age appropriate. CERF, for eye problems, is every year and can be done as early as 6 month. BAER testing, for hearing, is a one time test. Patella's are done after they are one year old, only once at this point. Hips are done after they are two years old, only once. Other tests that can be done are for legg-calve-perthes, cardiology, elbows, bile acid and maybe thyroid. We always hope that healthy parents will produce healthy puppies but no one can be sure something won't crop up once in a while. If you don't health test how will you ever know, it is our only way to have knowledge for future generations. We are here to preserve the breed and breed to the standard, anyone can produce pet puppies but they should be working towards a common goal, healthy puppies that are bred to the Havanese standard. You will find that most pet puppies are between $1,500 and $2,000 and if you are going to pay that much for a puppy the parents should have all their health testing and it should be posted for all to see.

I do have 1 puppy available at the moment. It is one black & white girl and will be available to pet homes on a spay/neuter contract only. She will all probably be under 10 lbs. when grown and has passed her Bile Acid test. Please email me for more information. In your email please include information about yourself and your family, amount of time home during the day and where you live. FYI, I do not ship puppies. Thank you.
