Puppy Health Guarantee

Our 2-Year Health Guarantee

At SweetHaven Havanese, the health and well-being of every puppy we raise is at the very heart of everything we do. We are committed to producing healthy, sound, and beautifully tempered Havanese through careful and ethical breeding practices, comprehensive health testing, proper nutrition, and early socialization.

Every SweetHaven puppy comes with a comprehensive 2-Year Genetic Health Guarantee against life-altering hereditary conditions, giving you complete confidence and peace of mind from the moment your puppy comes home.

Before going home, every puppy receives:

✅ A complete veterinary wellness exam

✅ Age-appropriate vaccinations

✅ Routine deworming

✅ Full health records and care documentation

✅ Puppy Culture socialisation foundation

✅ Lifelong breeder support for the life of your puppy

Our breeding dogs are carefully and selectively chosen for health, temperament, structure, and breed quality. We believe responsible breeding starts long before puppies are born, which is why every parent dog undergoes comprehensive health testing and screening, including genetic testing, eye certifications, patella and hip evaluations, and cardiac screenings before ever being considered for our breeding program.

We encourage every new SweetHaven family to continue regular veterinary care, proper nutrition, training, and preventative health measures to help their puppy thrive for a lifetime.

When you bring home a SweetHaven Havanese puppy, you are not just welcoming a dog into your home, you are gaining a dedicated breeder who genuinely cares about the health, happiness, and future of every single puppy we produce.

Our Parent Dog Health Testing

We believe healthy puppies start with healthy, thoroughly tested parents. Before any dog enters our breeding program, they must meet our strict health and temperament standards. Our parent dogs are tested and screened for the following:

✅ CAER Eye Certification — screening for hereditary eye conditions

✅ OFA Patella Evaluation — ensuring sound joint health

✅ OFA Hip Evaluation — screening for hip dysplasia

✅ Cardiac Evaluation — screening for hereditary heart conditions

✅ Comprehensive Genetic Testing — screening for breed-specific hereditary diseases

✅ Annual Veterinary Health Checks — ensuring ongoing health and soundness

All health testing results are available for review upon request. We believe in complete transparency — you have every right to know the full health background of your puppy’s parents.

Our No Puppy Mill Pledge

At SweetHaven Havanese, we proudly and firmly stand against puppy mills and irresponsible breeding in all its forms.

We are a small, dedicated, family-run breeding program focused entirely on quality, never quantity. Every puppy is raised with hands-on care, daily love, and individual attention inside our clean, warm, and enriching family home.

We pledge that:

✅ Our dogs are never mass-produced — we raise a strictly limited number of litters per year

✅ Our breeding dogs are cherished and beloved members of our family

✅ Puppies are raised in a safe, sanitary, and stimulating home environment

✅ We prioritise health, temperament, and breed integrity above all else — never profit

✅ Every prospective home is carefully screened to ensure our puppies go to responsible, loving families

✅ We never sell to breeders, brokers, or pet stores — every puppy is placed as a family companion only

✅ We provide genuine lifelong support for every family and every puppy we produce

✅ All of our dogs receive proper veterinary care, premium nutrition, regular exercise, and rich socialisation

We believe ethical breeding means preserving and improving the Havanese breed while producing healthy, confident, and loving companions for exceptional homes.

Choosing a puppy should come with absolute confidence and complete peace of mind. Our commitment is to raise every SweetHaven puppy the right way — with compassion, integrity, transparency, and a genuine and unwavering love for this remarkable breed.
