I'm Marti H., the breeder behind Harris Havanese located in Redondo Beach, CA. We are dedicated to breeding the sweetest, most loving, Havanese companions. Our puppies are raised in the heart of our home and are socialized to be a part of the family. They are exposed to all of the sounds and activities of an active household and are raised with "Puppy Culture" socialization method. All of our Havanese are AKC registered. Our Dams and Sires undergo extensive health testing (OFA hips, Elbows & Patellas, DNA testing and annual CAER eye screening) to assure that our puppies have excellent confirmation and are free of genetic health markers prior to breeding. We are so confident about the quality of our puppies that we offer a health guarantee. Puppies receive a thorough exam by our veterinarian and are up-to-date all all vaccines and deworming before joining their forever homes.
