We are planning litters for 2023 - Check out our Available Page
We only have 2-4 litters a year.
So we usually have a waiting list and it's a good idea to
get on our waiting list early.
These pictures and videos are from past litters.
All these puppies have been spoken for.

Our Havanese are on the smaller side of the standard and therefore do not have big litters. For example one spring we decided to have 3 litters at the same time. Most breeders would cringe but those three litters together totaled 7 puppies. Some bigger Havanese can have that many puppies in one litter.

We place our puppies with all general health guarantees, which include:
- free from Hereditary Hip Dysplasia
- free from cataracts
All our pet/companion puppies are placed on strict spay/neuter contracts. We prefer to place our puppies in pet homes with well deserving families.
If we do place breedable dogs, they are placed on a strict co-ownership contracts that requires showing and finishing the dog in the AKC conformation ring and also requires all breed recommended health checks before breeding is allowed. If you are unwilling to make this kind of commitment, then please do NOT contact us for breedable dogs.
Our breeding program is very strict. We breed only dogs that have past a series of health testing. Our puppies are born and raised in our home to ensure they are well socialized before going to their new home. We have children that love to hold and play with the puppies.

Some general information about how we place our puppies:
We place our puppies not by color or gender but by the puppys personality. We believe that you can not pick a puppy from a photo. So we require everyone to reserve a puppy pick.... 1st pick, 2nd pick and so on. Then at 9 weeks old everyone comes (one at a time based on their reservation) and plays with all the remaining puppies. At that time they can then pick the puppy with the personality that is best suited for their home. We want you to meet the puppies and learn about their personalities before making your choice. Males and females are all the same price so when picking your puppy you can be completely open.
We only breed twice a year so if you are interested in owning one of our puppies it is important to make a reservation on an upcoming litter.
Now our puppies are born and raised in our home and socialized with our children. Being raised around children from birth, our puppies love kids. Im an obedience instructor so I know the importance of having a well socialized dog. The puppies come with full health guarantees, health record/shot schedule for the puppy, a complete 4-generation pedigree, a copy of Health certificates of parents and a complete puppy buying guide that details food, crate, grooming supplies and toys.
