About the Breed
The Havanese dog breed, a popular and sweet toy dog, is a member of the Bichon family. It originates from Cuba and is recognized by the American Kennel Club and the Havanese Club of America.
Bred as a companion dog to the Cuban Aristocracy during the 1500s, and named after the Capital of its origin, the Havanese, also referred to as “the silk dog” would become the national emblem of Cuba. Now almost extinct in its founding country, the Havanese was brought to the United States during the Cuban revolution in 1959 when only 11 dogs were left to save the breed from extinction. Since then the breed has thrived throughout the United States and Europe. These highly trainable and companion-driven dogs make for a perfect family pet.
Appearance and Grooming
With a small and sturdy gait, dark almond-shaped eyes, and a full muzzle, this breed will never appear fragile. Despite its silky coat and minimal shedding, routine grooming is an absolute necessity for this dog breed. With its common coloring of black, blue, brown, gray, silver, and white, it is a beauty of the Dogdom. Most owners opt for a shorter cut for easier maintenance. Though these puppies can also wear their hair long, they will require added brushing several times a week, if not daily, and regular trims every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperament
This toy dog breed is friendly, playful, alert, and intelligent with a sweet, non-quarrelsome disposition. Aggressive behavior and shyness are not common in these dogs and should be corrected immediately if necessary. They are the happiest when they are with their owner as they form a special bond and a high level of attachment to the person they spend the most time with. Though they prefer to stay at home, given the chance they also love to run around outdoors.
Family and Companionship
With the earned title of, “Velcro Dog” you must believe that this loyal little canine will never leave your side. They are needy dogs who are keen on lots of affection and play. Perfect for a family with children or other active pets, as they love little clowning around and spreading their affection to their adopted family and everyone they meet. Showing dogs that they are cherished family members will make these dogs happiest.
Exercise
This small purebred needs light to moderate exercise each day. A short walk or some indoor play each day will ensure your puppy is getting all the exercise they need. Be careful not to over-exercise this little bundle of energy, as much as it will love to keep up, too much exertion is not good for its tiny frame.
Training and Socialization
Even though this highly intelligent and over eager pooch is a fast learner, they still need patience and gentle guidance as their pride can be easily hurt if scolded too harshly. Practicing praise and creating a treat-based reward system will result in both a happy puppy and a happy owner.
Our Havanese puppies for sale are gentle, happy dogs that are raised with care in a loving environment. They are well-socialized as both our dog breeders and our staff interact with them daily. Regular health testing ensures they are healthy, happy, and ready to go to their new home.

My experience with Premier Pups was wonderful! I knew that I wanted a puppy but I didn’t know what breeder or breed. I found Premier Pups and I fell in love with their puppies at first sight. I watched the website for about 6 months and I keep thinking I’ll know the puppy for me and my family as soon as I see him! Lol Eventually I came across Nore’! (F.K.A Jose). From the moment I submitted the video request, the Premier Pups experience was easy and worry free. They communicated with me every step of the process and were extremely detailed in the directions and care for the puppy during the first week. Even after we brought Nore’ home they sent periodic texts for the first few weeks checking on Nore’s progress which was greatly appreciated! The delivery process was stress free as well! We arrived at the designated meeting spot about 10 minutes early so I was there to see the van pull in and I watched the gentleman that delivered Nore’ to me clean out his crate and changed the puppy pad prior to handing him off to me. That was just another example of great customer service! I’m so pleased with the service I received I’m actually considering getting a brother or sister for Nori from Premier Pups! We just love him sooooo much! He’s the perfect pup for our family!

Raleigh came to us thru Premier Pups and was our 2 dog purchased thru this company. They were very timely in replies to our questions and ensure both of our dogs were safe flying from OH to WI. I think the best part is the follow up during the first few days, weeks and then even at their one year birthday we had Premier Pups reach out for updates. We have two very happy and healthy pups that we love with all of our hearts. I would highly recommend using the is service and likely will do so again myself.

This is our dog that we adopted through Premier Pups. Scrappy is one year old now and full of life and fun. He loves chewing on his chew toys, sitting with his mom and running in the snow. I cannot say enough about our experience with Premier Pups. They have lots of online resources available to review. They did a great job of checking the Scrappy over to make sure he is healthy and in good condition before releasing him. They also called and texted us several times after we received Scrappy to make sure everything was good and answered all my questions. They really care about scrappy and want to make sure everything is going well for him and us. Thanks Premier Pups for a great dog that we love dearly and your service that exceeded my expectations.

Trying to find a responsible breeder was a nightmare but finding premier pups felt like such a blessing. My dog finley is my bestfriend and she came with all of her proper health verifications and puppy checks which was such a nice plus. I have two havanese from a different breeder but Finley is really something special. Her personality and temperament is amazing and she is so smart. Working with premier pups was so easy and I felt like they really cared about me and Finley. They continually checked up on how she was adjusting when I first got her, and on her first birthday they even texted to check to see how she was doing. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience I had with this company and would recommend them to anyone looking for a furry friend.
