NSHC breeder referral is a service provided to assist puppy buyers with finding a Havanese breeder. The breeders on the NSHC breeder list sign a Code of Ethics document to which they have committed to uphold. The NSHC relies on the ethics and honesty of individual breeders and cannot and does not inspect, monitor or regulate the breeding or business practices of breeders in our club. Inclusion in this list is not a guarantee of the breeder's reputation, health testing practices, or the qualities of the dogs they produce.


Havanese have developed their wonderful qualities and type due to years of careful, selective breeding by dedicated, knowledgeable breeders. Be wary of internet ads, newspaper ads, pet stores, puppy farms, breeders mass producing or mix breeding, creating "designer dogs". These people are only breeding for profit. They do not invest the time and money necessary to provide proper socialization, housing, nutrition, vet care and health testing. Therefore, they are able to sell their puppies for prices that are substantially below the national average of $1500-$2500. We encourage you to read our Buyers Ed information relating to Pet Stores and Puppy Mills.

Please consider adopting a Havanese from rescue that needs a forever home, contact Havanese Rescue Inc. for more information.

Breeders highlighted in GREEN have puppies available out of health tested parents.
