An Honest Havanese Breeder Is A Quality Find

Article Title: An Honest Havanese Breeder Is A Quality Find
Author: Fiona A Kelly

For any dog lover, having a healthy pup means the world. But
what happens when your pup comes from a puppy broker who is
unconcerned with the health issues that can plague a certain
breed? Havanese puppies are quickly gaining in popularity around
the world for both dog lovers and competitors alike. Havanese
breeders are hard pressed to keep up with the demand for these
loveable dogs, as the strict testing that pups must undergo to
ensure they are healthy often leads to a wait of several months
to a year or more for a healthy pup.

Many potential owners do not want to have to wait that long to
get the puppy they so badly desire. These impatient dog lovers
often turn to their local pet stores to find the dogs they want.
Unfortunately, those puppy brokers who do not perform the
necessary testing to ensure buyers are getting healthy animals
often supply these pet stores. If you are concerned that your
dog may be coming from one of these brokers, instead of a
respectable Havanese breeder, there are a number of questions
you can ask that will help to ensure you are getting your
money's worth.

Respectable Havanese breeders will make a potential buyer wait
as long as it takes to ensure that the pups born are healthy.
There is a rather extensive medical testing process that all
Havanese pups need to go through, in order to make certain that
they do not have any of the genetic problems as mentioned above.
If the Havanese breeder you have chosen is honest, there will be
quite a bit of documentation associated with this testing
process. Make sure that you ask to see these papers, and be sure
to check them out, either online on over the phone.

Another important question that should be asked of all Havanese
breeders, is whether or not they will breed the same female
every time she is in season. If the answer to this question is
yes, then you are most likely dealing with a dishonest puppy
broker, as opposed to an honest puppy breeder who respects the
dogs that he or she is breeding. A respectable Havanese breeder
will only breed a female every other season, or even every two
seasons. This helps to ensure that the female has plenty of time
to recover between litters.

You would think that the high price of these sweet little pups
would be enough to ensure that potential owners would check to
see that their pups had properly tested and registered prior to
sale. Unfortunately, so many dog lovers are in such a hurry to
own one of these precious dogs that they have created an open
market for puppy brokers who can meet demands faster than
Havanese breeders can – caring only for the money they can make,
instead of the health of their dogs.

If you want to make certain that you are getting your money's
worth when buying a Havanese pup it is important that you pay
special attention to the practices of the Havanese breeder you
have chosen to work with. An honest Havanese breeder will have
no problem with letting you see everything to do with their
dogs, while a puppy broker will be more apt to try to rush you
into a purchase.
