Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost, or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful." - Albert Schweitzer 

NO PUPPIES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME

WE WILL NOT BE EXPECTING ANOTHER LITTER UNTIL SUMMER 2009

Please note:  Aviva Havanese is NOT a commercial kennel.  I am a Havanese fancier who enjoys showing my dogs in AKC conformation trials. This website is a showcase for my dogs and our accomplishments in the show ring.  I occasionally breed a litter with the intention of improving the health and beauty of my lines.  When I have puppies, puppy pictures will be posted on this page, but please note that puppies are not available for adoption until after they have been evaluated for show potential.  Inquiries are welcome.

Aviva Havanese is listed on the breeder referral list for the Havanese Club of Southern California, a club dedicated to the well-being of the Havanese breed.  In order to qualify to be listed on the HCSC breeder referral list, I am required to abide by a code of ethics for breeders which I take very seriously.  My adult dogs are completely health tested and live with me in my house as family members and beloved pets.  They eat high quality diets and receive daily grooming and excellent veterinary care.  My puppies are vet-checked, Baer tested to rule out congenital deafness, microchipped, well-socialized, they have their first shot, and they are introduced to crate training.  They go to their new forever homes with a health warranty, crate, pad, blanket, toys, helpful book, and a Snuggle Puppy (stuffed puppy toy with heat source and a beating heart).   An Aviva Havanese contract of sale requires you to complete a puppy socialization course with your puppy.  Your new Havanese puppy will be a family member for many years and it is imperative that you train your puppy with positive methods and consistency from their very first day in your home.  I am always available to answer questions regarding the care and training of Havanese puppies.

*Please note:  I do not ship puppies.  Show/breeding prospect puppies are only placed in experienced show homes with serious intentions of competing in AKC conformation events and require a co-ownership agreement until the dog's championship is completed.  All pet puppies must be registered with AKC (no other registeries allowed) and are placed with a spay/neuter requirement.  My puppies are never sold to pet shops or pet brokers!
