Meet the breeder

I'm Cate S., the breeder behind Cabana Havanese located in Wentzville, MO. I love being a boutique breeder! Mom, dad, and the puppies are present in the heart of my home where the little ones are fully socialized with sights, sounds, and people of all ages. We will only have a litter from my current sire and dam once every 1-2 years, both come from champion pedigrees.

Q. & A. with Cate

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I became interested during the years of involvement with dog shows. I also spent 6 years serving on the board of directors for an animal shelter. That experience taught me what type of program I wanted to establish. I spent a long time deciding on the breed, and eventually knew it would be Havanese for their size, temperament, and hypoallergenic coat. This was the best decision of my life!

  • What makes your program special?

    After spending several years researching breeds and breeders, I was fortunate to locate an exceptional dam and sire. I say that we are a boutique breeder, simply meaning we are small and selective with a litter planned only every 1 - 2 years. The puppies are part of my family, until they are part of yours.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

“This is a selective boutique breeding program with one litter per 1-2 years. There currently is no wait list. A new litter is introduced on our website. A potential owner fills out a form on the website and we proceed from there. I live with the puppies, and I can assess personality and temperament. AKC registration is limited.”

Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes AKC registration, initial 8 week vaccinations, and deworming. They are scheduled to have a 2nd round of shots and microchipping in two weeks. All puppies are the same price. The deposit guarantees your puppy choice. If there is a change in plans, a refund can be arranged minus any costs incurred during the time the puppy was reserved.”
