I'm Rick G., the breeder behind Haslet Havanese located in Haslet, TX. Raising exceptional AKC Havanese since 2019.

Q. & A. with Rick
Why did you start breeding?
Experiencing the profound bond and joy of the Havanese made it clear: we had to share this wonderful breed with others. We stepped into breeding with a clear mission of preservation, prioritizing health, early home enrichment, and sound temperaments so other families could experience the same life-changing companionship.What makes your program special?
We are an in-home preservation program, not a kennel. By focusing exclusively on the Havanese with strictly limited litters, we devote immense time and care to every single puppy. They are raised on gentle fresh nutrition, thoroughly socialized with daily household life, and backed by our unconditional lifetime support and guidance for every family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, cream, fawn, and fawn sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Rick 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.
“We believe the right match creates a lifetime bond. By 6 weeks, distinct personalities emerge: some pups are naturally bold, curious, and adventurous, while others are gentle, cuddly, and calm. We closely observe their daily energy and play styles to partner with each approved family, ensuring your puppy’s natural disposition perfectly complements your home, lifestyle, and routines.”

Parent health testing
Good level
Haslet Havanese 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 (rDVM, not registered)
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.
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.
Vet Wellness Exam
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.
