Meet the breeder

I'm Melissa A., the breeder behind Melissa's Havanese located in Granger, IN. All the puppies I have available currently have been to the vet twice and been health checked, vaccinated and dewormed.

Q. & A. with Melissa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I just love dogs. Dogs are family members that can bring so much joy when you treat them like more than just a dog.

  • What makes your program special?

    Both male and female live in my home. My Havanese also have an auntie who is a husky and does a great job helping socialize them.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Melissa

Melissa 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.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Melissa partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“I talk to the families about their hours and their wants from a dog. I make sure they have researched the breed.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $550 - $1,100 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes 2 vet checks, up-to-date shots, 2 dewormings and paperwork, akc pre-registration fee paid...one of the sweetest well socialized puppies you will ever have the privilege of caring for. My male and female have no known genetic problems and came from parents with the same background. My puppies do not come with guarantees beyond this as my lower pricing does not allow for it. My puppies are ready to be home. My dam had an extra large litter so I have two puppies left that my dogs and myself will enjoy and keep training until they find their forever homes. The use pee pads and have started outdoor potty training. Keep in mind havanese are a small breed and best potty training results come from limited areas and frequent potty breaks.”
