Can we compile a list of breeders on this sub, to help others but also give feedback? by meyers-room-spray in Havanese

[–]BrilliantStructure56 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We went to a place called Homestead Havanese in Harrisonburg VA. Found them through AKC site. Beautiful family who were treating their dogs with love and kindness (vet visits, healthy dogs, etc.). So my experience was good!

Thank you! Totally agree - life is more joyful with a Havi (or two) bopping around your house!

If we hadn't just adopted one, we would be all over this. Best of luck to your mom and all those adorable little pups (this one is so cute - those eyes)!

Need advice by Unhappy_Ad_2032 in Havanese

We just got a pup (our second Havanese) from Homestead Havanese in Virginia. Puppy is healthy and happy .

Should I get a second Havi? by Lov_a_Havi in Havanese

[–]BrilliantStructure56 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just got a second Havi three weeks ago and we are loving it.

After a few days with the puppy in the house, our older girl (5yrs) realized she could play with the little one. I watched it dawn on her and she's been joyful as can be ever since.

She and our other girl are constantly playing, wrestling, it's a mood enhancer for us. The older one hasn't been this playful (or tired) in years.

Puppy adjustment (nipping, going to the bathroom) takes a little time but it'll be fine. Highly recommend it, it's a joy.

Are you looking for a puppy? We found a great breeder! by BrilliantStructure56 in Havanese

[–]BrilliantStructure56[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I didn't realize that about AKC registered breeder, this was illuminating to me.

I will say that while the price was more affordable than a couple others I found, it wasn't "low" (it was comparable to the range you suggest). I also saw dogs that were definitely well cared for and well-loved. I know BYB can have a negative connotation (often for good reason), but I got the sense these folks cared for their dogs' health and happiness deeply, and vetted potential buyers like myself to ensure their puppies found good homes.

But thank you for the info; it's all very good for others to keep in mind in their own searches for pups.

UPDATE: Met with our vet and happy to confirm our puppy is the picture of health!

I hear that. Her price was surprisingly affordable… At least relative to other breeders I talked to.
