Meet the breeder

I'm Diana W., the breeder behind Happy Havi Tails located in Kansas City, MO. We just adore Havanese and can't wait to share our love for them with you! We are passionate breeders and are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding practices. We do all that we can to make sure our pups get the best care and go to the best homes!

Q. & A. with Diana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When my children were born I wanted them to grow up with a family pet and they both had terrible allergies. So my hunt for the perfect pup began! I stumbled across this breed and I was surprised I had never heard of them before, but they seemed like they'd be perfect for us. So, we bought a havanese and fell in love and I just wanted to give this gift to others, the perfect companion!

  • What makes your program special?

    We're a daughter/mother team. Because our dogs are our pets first and we're just a small in home service, we only have 1-2 litters/year. My puppies are raised in my home, with plenty of space that I expand as they grow. They're also litter box trained. They're handled every single day and are socialized with my children, some friends & family. Most of all, we care and we love what we do!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white, white, chocolate, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Diana has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Diana partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“Puppies are matched around 6–8 weeks of age once temperaments and personalities can be more accurately observed. While all puppies continue developing over time, we strive to place each puppy in the home that best fits their current temperament, energy level, and individual personality.”

Puppy prices include a $500 deposit and between $1,300 - $1,700 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The Deposit is 50% non-refundable & 50% refundable. All of it is applied towards the cost of your puppy. If an unforeseen life event happens I will roll the deposit forward one time to the next litter.”

    We had a fabulous experience with Diana at Happy Havi Tails. She kept us up to date with pictures and videos as our puppy grew. She even flew with her to hand deliver our little bundle of love.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
