Breeders :
Be very careful when choosing a breeder there are many new to the breed and new to dogs .Breeders who do not know allot about dogs and how to breed sound animals of good temperament and structure these so called breeders can cause more problems than good for any breed.
We have many in California , contact any good breeder for references to other good breeders.
We recommend you ask questions like have you been in other breeds and how long in Havanese.
Have you had an problems in the breed as far as health , do they health test there dogs and for what.
Most good breeders are also members of a club either a parent or a regional club. There are people who are also members of clubs who are not good breeders so it is your job to ask as many questions as you can think of.
It is buyer beware.
BEST BOOK ON THE BREED
The Joyous Havanese by Kathryn Braund
Please beware of the Havana Silk dog people, they should fool no one there dogs are registered Havanese and shown as such. They choose to be different and think there havanese should have a different name and are healthy for some reason that no one can figure out. Most Havanese breeders do a great job health testing .
