What is special about a California Havanese puppy? Our puppies are raised in a warm and wholesome environment filled with affection and laughter.  They love to be cuddled and kissed.  We love getting updates as the puppies grow- check out these fun instagrams of adorable California Havanese puppies, Milo: milobearhavanese Mia: mia_sanfrancisco Archie: lanathehava Sweeney: sweeney_havanese Nilla: nilla_the_havanese Maggie: maggiemae805 Obi-Wan: _thejedipup Moose: moosethehavi Cannoli: cannolithecanino Enzo: enzoenroute Ollie: roliepolie.ollie Lola Rose: lolarose775 Cashew: cashew_the_havi

What is the price and reservation process?  The “pet price” (which doesn’t include breeding rights) for a puppy is $4000.  A puppy is reserved with a $900 deposit, and in the order of deposits received. You may place a deposit via credit card over the phone, Paypal to my email address, Venmo, Zelle, or check.  The deposit is refundable until the puppies are born and I have let you know that I have a puppy available and you have confirmed you would like me to reserve the puppy for you. When I receive your deposit I will email or mail a copy of your “Puppy Deposit Receipt” for your records.  The balance of the price is paid when you pick up your puppy.  For this I am able to accept credit card, Paypal, cash, Venmo, Zelle, or cashiers check.  *Please note that I do not accept Western Union and would never ask for payment that way.  If a breeder asks for Western Union, it is a red flag that it is a scam!

 What about housebreaking?  The puppies will start litter box training early on- at about 5 weeks.  By the time they go home they are typically pottying in the litter box over 90% of the time. The box is positioned opposite their bed, food, and water.  You may choose to continue using a litter box- this is especially helpful for apartments and homes without a fenced yard or in inclement weather.  You can also use the litter box to transition to pottying outside by gradually moving the litter box toward the door/doggy door you want the puppy to exit.  Then you can put the litter box outside on a covered patio or deck.  I use the So Phresh Dog Litter Box and the large size is ideal if you will be utilizing it for more than a few weeks.  I use Fresh News for litter, which is made from recycled newspaper.  I remove stools regularly with a paper towel and replace the litter about once a week.  I sprinkle baking soda in the box each time before adding litter. 

What is included?  Our puppies go to their new homes with dew claws removed, current vaccinations and deworming, and an AKC microchip.  Also included is  a Deluxe Puppy Pack, which includes the AKC registration papers, AKC microchip registration form, health record, a small blanket that smells like mom, a puppy toy, puppy food, bully stick, and a new collar and leash.  Our puppies are thoroughly examined by our veterinarian at around 8 weeks and are able to go home at 9 weeks.  

What is the procedure?  When you have reserved a puppy, I will email pictures of your growing puppy to you every few weeks or so after his/her eyes are open.  Your puppy will be available to go home with you after he/she is 9 weeks old. During this visit we will review the AKC paperwork and microchip registration, and you will receive copies of the Purchase Contract/Health Guarantee and Health Record.  We will spend time discussing any questions you may have.  Then you will take your new baby home.

What about shipping?  We may be able to ship your puppy from the Sacramento Airport or fly with your puppy to your airport.
