Meet the breeder
I'm Kat, the breeder behind Narwyn Havanese located in Wyoming, RI. I'm a hobby & show breeder working to breed dogs with the temperament, health, and sound structure needed to be a healthy member of the family and succeed in any sport they choose. *I am planning to open Spring 2026 applications in May!*.
Q. & A. with Kat
Why did you start breeding?
My family always appreciated the predictability of purebred dogs. I joined 4-H with my first Havanese, then started in AKC Junior Showmanship. After showing for many years, I started breeding. I have been "in dogs" for more than 25 years.What makes your program special?
I strive for all-around house dogs who can succeed in any venue—the show ring, obedience, agility, therapy—but aren't so high drive or specialized that they're difficult to live with. I am also one of the few breeders doing Genetic Diversity testing.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Kat
Kat has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Kat 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 8 weeks old.
Price
"Buying from a responsible breeder includes a healthy puppy from healthy parents, a health guarantee that does not require you to return the dog, and lifetime "tech support" from the breeder! I ask for a $750 deposit when puppies are several weeks old. It is only refundable if I unexpectedly do not have a puppy for you in the current litter."
Contract & health guarantee
Kat may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kat offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Kat directly.

Excellent level
Narwyn 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.
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.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
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.
Genetic Diversity Test
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
