Meet the breeder

I'm Jan, the breeder behind Sweet Feats Havanese located in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. SWEET FEATS HAVANESE ~ Thank you for your interest in our Havanese. I hope that you visit us where there is lots of information about how we raise our puppies and our commitment to that, as well as input from our Havanese families.  Five years ago, I discovered something called the early neurological stimulation for Puppies, a program developed by the military for their dogs. (You can watch a video about this on our homepage at sweetfeats) It actually has turned out to be the gift that keeps on giving as it gives them more tolerance to stress, helps them learn quickly, and it improves their immune system ~ everything a military dog needs, and also a gift to our own dogs. Based on the positive responses that I’ve gotten from our Havanese families I’ve continue to do this on an ongoing basis. Our puppies leave us with a comprehensive health exam by our veterinarian, a health certificate, a Home Again microchip, and a guarantee against any debilitating congenital problem. I also continue to be a resource on an ongoing basis for you whenever you need help or more information. In the meantime, if you’d like, I’d be happy to send references to you, as well as our contract/guarantee. If you have any questions, or would like more information, please let me know and thanks again for your interest in our Havanese.

Q. & A. with Jan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Over 20 years ago my five-year-old twin granddaughters asked for a puppy. My daughter gave me a criteria of small, but not fragile, not yapping, not needy, and a non-shedding! LOL 😂 I found 2 seven month-old puppies that the breeder did not want to separate so I adopted both of them. I kept one for myself, and fell madly in love with the breed❣️

  • What makes your program special?

    Discovered Havs shortly after their AKC acceptance. I was fortunate to be mentored by Twins Havanese, influential breeders in the early days of the breed in the US. My health tested dogs have grand champion pedigrees, many experiences, and early neurological stimulation, which enhances their tolerance, learning and immunity. I continue to be an ongoing resource for you AFTER you adopt your puppy.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white, white, cream, chocolate, black, and red sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Jan

Jan 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.

Jan 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.

“Havanese have wonderful characteristics in common, but just like us they have personalities that can be very different. Our goal at Sweet Feats is to help you make the best choice between the Chill Pill and the Life of the Party, so it’s a seamless transition. We understand that you may have gender and color preferences so you can reserve a puppy earlier, but we encourage you to pick your puppy at six weeks when they are showing their true selves. This practice has been very successful in creating wonderful matches, and easier adjustments for the puppy, and for you and your lifestyle.”

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Sweet Feats 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not 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.
