Havanese Breeder: Friend Or Fraud?

Article Title: Havanese Breeder: Friend Or Fraud?
Author: Fiona A Kelly

With Havanese puppies becoming so popular over the last forty
years, there has been a rash of dishonest breeders popping up in
an effort to make a profit on the ever increasing demand for
these playful little pups. These dishonest breeders, otherwise
known as puppy brokers, have little regard for the condition of
the lives of their dogs. Instead they are only interested in how
many pups they can churn out in a single breeding season.

While spotting an honest Havanese breeder may be a chore, it
really isn't all that difficult if you know what to look for.
These puppy brokers are usually the ones who supply Havanese
puppies to pet stores across the country. One of the first steps
to avoiding a dishonest Havanese breeder, is to be sure that you
do your due diligence and research any breeder you are
considering buying a puppy from. Part of doing this research, is
avoiding buying a pup from a pet store, and instead only
purchasing from an honest breeder.

The best way to know whether you are dealing with an honest
Havanese dealer is to thoroughly research any and all
documentation you are given both at the time of the sale, and
prior to the final delivery. This includes checking the online
databases to ensure that your dog is actually registered where
the breeder says they are. Unfortunately, registration papers
are relatively simple to forge, and many would-be Havanese
owners are duped every day. Fortunately for them, respected
registration organizations have online databases available where
you can research the registration of your pup's parents, to make
certain that you are getting your dog from an honest breeder.

Also, it is not uncommon for a dishonest Havanese breeder to
forge medical documentation. Since there are a great many
medical tests that need to be done on a Havanese pup when they
are born to ensure they do not carry any of the common genetic
health concerns that plague so many pups, it is important that
you make a point to call the veterinarian (and research them, as
well) listed on the paperwork to make certain that your pup has
actually had the testing done.
There are many other ways to tell whether or not the Havanese
breeder you are considering is an honest one. The most important
of which is whether or not you will be allowed to view the
conditions in which the pup is to be born. A dishonest Havanese
breeder will most likely come up with several different excuses
as to why you cannot see their kennels. If this is the case,
then you are most likely dealing with a puppy broker, and should
find another Havanese breeder immediately.

Often, you will need to wait several months, or even a couple
of years, to get the perfect Havanese pup. It is important to
remember that these dogs are well worth the wait it may take to
ensure that your pup is coming from an honest Havanese breeder.
Havanese puppies are prone to certain genetic disorders, and
fake breeders do not take the necessary steps to ensure healthy
pups that will be able to enjoy a long and healthy life with
their new owners.
