Important Resources

Please take some time to check out these curated resources. These are recommended resources for all of our prospective and current puppy families.

Dr. Dodd's Vaccination Protocol

Research-based protocol that we use for vaccinating our dogs/puppies. We encourage our families to have educated discussions about vaccinations with their pet's veterinarian.

New Puppy Supply Checklist

Here is a good general list of supplies for preparing for the homecoming of your puppy.

We feed Farmina Ancestral Grains. However, there are many quality foods out there. Dog Food Advisor looks critically at them all, and rates based on quality of ingredients. If you sign up for their mailing list, they will alert you if there is a recall on your brand--very useful!

Risks/Benefits of Spay/Neuter

We require all companion homes spay/neuter their puppy at an appropriate age. However, we would like our puppy families to be aware of the pros and cons, and to not spay/neuter too early.

Early Neuro Stimulation

We provide early neurological stimulation to each of our puppies in hopes that it will help them become resilient, well-adjusted puppies.

Orthopedic Foundation for Animals

Our mission is to promote the health and welfare of companion animals through a reduction in the incidence of genetic disease.

Havanese Gallery

Havanese Gallery is an open pedigree and picture database project. The purpose of the website is to collect and share as much pictures and information about the Havanese as possible to provide a useful tool for breeders and lovely pictures to the enthusiasts of the breed.
