Having received the “Breeder of Merit Award”
and produced top winning dogs, we have worked very hard and are very
proud
of that reputation...
There are too many people haphazardly putting two dogs together without regard to health testing OR quality of the mating pair - it really pays to do your homework before deciding on a pup. As with most purebred dogs, the Havanese does have a number of health issues you should be aware of…as should those who produce Havanese puppies.
Our puppies are dual registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Havana Silk Dog Association of America (HSDAA). What does this mean?
AKC is a registry that certifies you own a three-generation purebred pedigree dog. It does not verify health testing; their role is simply a registry. Unfortunately many dogs are registered from unhealthy parents.
Your puppy will be a member of your family for many years to come (upwards of 15+ years for this breed) do your homework first, ask for soaped pictures of the parents – bent or curved legs on either of the breeding parents can signal future problems.. Unfortunately, chondrodysplasia plaques many small breeds including the Havanese breed. Soaped pictures of our dogs are posted on their respective page. Additionally an 'Important Papers' link shows their pedigree and other certificates.
HSDAA is a registry that protects the dog: in order to breed HSDAA registered dogs, your dog must have passed all health testing and a critical evaluation, as an adult, after two (2) years of age. Both males and females must meet all the requirements to be issued a Certified Havana Silk Dog registration number. A main reason this is required to show that the dog does not show any signs of chondrodysplasia No dogs can be bred within this registry if the dog shows any signs at all of Chondrodysplasia, dysplastic hips, luxating patella’s, deafness or cataracts… how cool is that for the future health of such a delightful breed!
The HSDAA cannot stop someone from breeding a dog that should not have been bred, but rest assured, those puppies would never be registered or Certified by the HSDAA. Buy owning a puppy which was produced from Certified Havana Silk Dog parents, gives you the peace of mind to know that the health of the dogs, and preserving this delightful Cuban breed was the breeder’s top priority.
Havana Silk Dogs make awesome family pets. They love, trust and follow you everywhere. Some call them their shadow. The get along well with other dogs, cats and love to play with children. This breed is not necessarily a lap dog; although some are will gladly set there! Generally, Silks would rather lie next to you. This breed can sometimes be challenging to housebreak, but if you are persistent and use positive training, you can expect your Silk puppy to be reliable in the house before too long. Successful house training is dependent on the owners. We litter box train our puppies, which works out well for cold climates, or high-rise condo situations. Silk dog puppies do not do well being left alone 8 plus hours a day, they really do strive on companionship, so if you are gone full time, this is not the breed for you.
When we place a puppy, a signed contract is required: our pets are $2000 (US). All puppies come with a lifetime buy back guarantee, shots appropriate for age, BAER testing for hearing and a puppy book with all the parents and puppies health information. .
Here at Feliz, we have a reputation for producing sound healthy dogs and standing behind our dogs with our lifetime buy back guarantee. We are proud to have our dogs Certified in the Havana Silk Dog Registry
