Yes. All of our companion pet puppies are sold on a simple, easy‑to‑understand contract. Every puppy is placed on a spay/neuter agreement, as we do not offer breeding rights.

Our contract is written in clear language without complicated legal terms. We reserve the right to refund deposits and withdraw from a sale at any time if we feel it is in the best interest of the puppy. If a buyer chooses not to proceed after the sale has begun, the deposit is non‑refundable unless the puppy is found to be unfit for placement.

We also require a brief application—available directly on our website—to ensure each puppy is matched with the right home and lifestyle.

Havanese are naturally alert and expressive, but they are not excessive barkers when properly raised. They tend to bark to communicate — not to be noisy — and they settle quickly once they understand the household routine. Havanese are companion dogs at heart. When their emotional needs are met, they are one of the quieter toy breeds.

Havanese are known for their sweet, affectionate, and people‑oriented temperament. They bond closely with their families and thrive on companionship. Their gentle nature makes them one of the most adaptable toy breeds.
