Q. & A. with Pamela

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I've always had dogs. After competing in dog sports for many years I decided to breed, I chose Havanese as they are healthy, affectionate, and easily trained.

  • What makes your program special?

    I use the Puppy Culture Method. Our dogs are members of the family and puppies are well socialized. I specilize in breeding reds and golds.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

GoldDust Havanse reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Havanese.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
