Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We test our adult dogs for the few genetic weaknesses found in the Havanese breed. These being Eyes (CERF) , Ears (BAER) and Patellas. We register results with the Orthopedic Foundation of America. As the puppies are too young to show symptoms yet, we test the parents to be sure we are providing strong healthy genes for your puppy. Going above and beyond, I also made sure to do a wet down on the legs of our breeding adults to check for bowed/ miss-formed legs (a symptom of Chondrodysplasia). Even though this test is not yet required, it is an easy physical test that can show if the dog would pass on this terrible deformity. It can be very expensive to treat down the road and very painful for the dogs as they mature so we take the precaution of checking our parents. Again going above and beyond, we raw feed all our adults to insure optimum health. We also give them the highest recommended vitamins, NuVet. Beyond that, our mommies get Prenatal vitamins during pregnancy and nursing vitamins until the pups are weaned. This insures the babies and the mommies stay in optimum health.

Our Havanese puppies come with a 3 yr health guarantee against any congenital defect that will shorten the life or cause the death of the puppy
