Ivy Hills Havanese
Meet the breeder
I'm Jennifer C., the breeder behind Ivy Hills Havanese located in Guilford, IN. I have over 15 years' experience showing and breeding quality Havenese dogs. I love including them in my every day life. We pride ourselves in having good policies and a lifetime health guarantee with verified testing. We follow CHIC requirements and breed from a line of show dogs while also diversifying the genes.
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I love the eminently friendly, intelligent, and easygoing qualities of Havenese, along with their soft fur. My involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. Ultimately, I would like to diversify the genes of Havenese.What makes your program special?
I test all of my dogs and follow CHIC requirements for canine health, which are far more extensive beyond a normal veterinary check. I also test for BAER, eyes, hips, elbows, and patellas. My dogs come with a lifetime health guarantee in which I will pay for the treatment up to the cost of the dog. I also will purchase microchips from Avidog and will list myself as the alternate contact. I am passionate about finding my dogs the perfect home!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
Ivy Hills 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
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.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
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.
