Puppies

So you think you want a Havanese puppy?
Puppies are wonderful, but.....

Havanese puppies (like all other puppies) take love, work, patience, and your time!  If you have all of the above in abundant supply, then you will find the job of raising a puppy much easier.  If you are in short supply of these things, then do not get a puppy!  It would not be fair to you or the dog.  Havanese are called "velcro dogs" for a very good reason.  Once owned by a Havanese, you will never be alone again, not even for a minute!  Although they are a charming and lovable breed, the Havanese is not a dog for everyone.  Havanese are bred to be companions and they need lots of human attention.  This is not a dog that can be left alone for long periods of time.  Havanese puppies also need training and socialization in order to become well-adjusted adult Havanese.  Please be responsible and do your research on the breed before making your decision.  See the Favorite Links page of my website for more information.

Are you thinking about buying your Havanese puppy from a pet store or broker?  Please do not do this!  Adopting your puppy from a reputable hobby breeder can take time and patience, but don't give up!  When you decide to settle for less than a good breeder, you are supporting PUPPY MILLS and keeping them in business!  Please do not do this.  Please watch this heartbreaking video and you will understand why: 

Puppy Mills Practice Cruelty To Dogs

Also, please consider adopting a rescued Havanese!

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 

AVIVA HAVANESE WILL NOT HAVE PUPPIES AVAILABLE IN 2009 - 2010

Please note:  Aviva Havanese is NOT a commercial kennel.  I am a Havanese fancier who enjoys showing my dogs in AKC conformation trials and participating in other activities with my dogs. This website is a showcase for my dogs and our accomplishments.  Please refer to my favorite links page for a list of recommended breeders.  I'm sorry I cannot help you with a puppy or adult Havanese at this time.

Before you consider adopting a Havanese puppy, please visit the website for the Havanese Club of America and check out some important information about buying a Havanese puppy.
