We are firm believers in health testing and support the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) as suggested by the Havanese Club of America. Health testing is not a guarantee of future health, instead it is a tool to be used in making breeding decisions to help create a better future. CHIC is not about passing tests, it is about making health test information public rather than keeping secrets in the closet, so to speak. No one can promise you a puppy won't develop a genetic problem as the health testing available at this time cannot guarantee that. What this testing can do is help increase the odds of your puppy growing up healthy.
Puppies do not leave prior to 8 weeks of age and have their age appropriate shots and medical records along with feeding and care instructions. We are always accessible to each puppy owner for help, general questions, or just to chat. We prefer all new families visit us in person prior to the puppy coming home. We want to be able to visit with all family members who will be living with the new puppy, and you will have the opportunity to meet as many of our dogs as you'd like. If possible, we will also arrange for you to meet some of the people who have brought our puppies home in the past.
We believe it's better for dogs to have some formal obedience training and encourage each new owner to take their baby to a local class.
In addition to the havanese, we also raise registered BueLingo Beef Cattle (all PMT free) and are members of The BueLingo Beef Cattle Society.
