Havanese puppies are among the most desirable of all toy dog breeds. These playful little puppies are considered some of the most loving and loyal dogs on the planet; and they are highly sought after by competition across the country. This has led to an uprising of dishonest Havanese breeders who want to capitalize on this desire and produce as many puppies as possible to meet the growing demand, without thinking about the condition in which the dogs are raised.
There are many ways that you can learn to spot a fake Havanese breeder, also known as a puppy runner. There is no sign on their shirts to tell you what they are, but you should do as much research as possible on any breeder you are considering buying a puppy from. This is really the only way to determine if you are getting your new dog from an honest Havanese breeder.
The best way to know if you are dealing with an honest Havanese dealer is to thoroughly research all documentation provided to you both at the time of sale and prior to final delivery. This includes checking online databases to make sure your dog is actually registered where the breeder says it is. Unfortunately, registration documents are relatively easy to forge and many potential Havanese owners are misled every day. Fortunately for them, respected registration organizations have online databases available where you can research your puppy’s parent record, to make sure you are getting your dog from an honest breeder.
Also, it is not uncommon for a rogue Havanese breeder to falsify medical documentation. Since there are a lot of medical tests that must be performed on a Havanese puppy when it is born to make sure it does not exhibit any of the common genetic health problems that plague so many puppies, it is important that you make a point to call the vet (and research it too) listed in the documentation to make sure your pup was actually tested.
Also, it is important that you ask a potential
Havanese breeder who is considering how often the female dogs in his care are raised. If you are told that they are bred every season, it is very likely that it is a fake Havanese breeder. Also, if the Havanese breeder in question tries to pressure you into making a quick sale, you should be extremely cautious and run in the opposite direction as quickly as possible.
As you can see, there are many ways to ensure that you avoid a rogue Havanese breeder. The most important thing to remember is that only you can do the necessary research to make sure your puppy is exactly what you want. Havanese puppies are a wonderful addition to any home, and are well worth the wait required to make sure you are getting your puppy from an honest Havanese breeder.
