No Kennel
All of our Havanese dogs are raised in our home and never in a kennel. Havanese are a very loving toy breed and need the
closeness of the family. We have found that early socialization is the key to a loving and happy Havanese dog.
Temperament
Havanese are loving and happy go lucky dogs. They do very well with other dogs, pets and especially with children. They
also are great for apartment or condos.
Size
Havanese are a small toy breed ranging in six from 8 1/2" to 11 1/2" in height at the withers. They can vary in weight from
7lbs to 13 lbs.
Colors
Havanese come in all colors. Black, silver, white, red, gold, chocolate, cream and white. Havanese are also found having
parti colors as well as sables. All colors are acceptable to the AKC.
Health
The overall health of Havanese dogs is very good. As Havanese Breeders we need to pay close attention to all health issues
if we are to maintain healthy Havanese puppies and dogs.

Raising the Standard








Havanese The Real Cuban Breed
Havanese dogs, the Havanese breed as we know today was originally brought to Cuba from the Mediterranean for the
royalty and rich elite of Cuba. Today they enjoy the title of the National dog of Cuba. They are also referred to as the
Bichon Havanese, BichonHabaneros, or as the Havana Silk Dog. Their loving temperaments make them one of the most
enjoyable dogs to own. They are very trainable and display their love of life every day.
Raising the Standard
As a havanese breeder we believe in raising our pups to the AKC Standard.
We breed for correct conformation and temperament. Never sacrificing to new
Hand Raised
Our Havanese puppies are socialized very early. Starting at birth we assist the mother during whelping to make sure mother
and pups are the best they can be. After 2 weeks, just about the time their eyes are opening they have already learned who
we are through touch, feel and smell. At 4 weeks of age our pups get their first taste of dog food. Now they are ready for a
little more room and are given more space in the kitchen. Here they learn from our older Havanese as well as our family
members how to get along.
