Avoid Pet Havanese Breeding
|
There are a lot of puppy mills out there still, sadly, and even Havanese are in such mills. These puppy mills supply pet stores. Never sell your pups to pet stores, as this supports puppy mills. Puppy mill Havanese puppies are usually very unhealthy, which puts a bad name on all Havanese breeders. It is your responsibility to provide Mom, Dad and pups with the best vet care possible AND to offer a warranty on your pups. Your Havanese breeding stock and pups have to be very healthy and undergo many tests for any congenital defects like deafness, luxating patella and hip dysplagia. You can breed your Havanese naturally or with artificial insemination at the vet's. Mom needs regular check ups throughout her pregnancy, lots of quality high protein food and regular exercise for as long as she can handle it. Birth in dogs is usually a very undramatic affair. Still, read all of the Havanese information on what you need to know about dog births in order to settle yourself down and give Mom some peace. You need to have a quiet place in your home where Mom can whelp. Introduce her to the spot so she knows this is the place. Still, she'll probably try to give birth on your bed anyway. Just plonk her into the whelping area and she'll resign herself to that place. Giving birth and raising the puppies to eight weeks of age is the easy part of Havanese breeding. That will go by really fast. The puppies will need to go to the vet when the vet recommends. They need tests and their first shots before they can be sold. Now comes the hard part - getting the pups to their new homes. Hopefully, you have a waiting list by now, but advertisements on dog web sites should gather interested buyers. You need to vet your pup's owners just as much as the pups needed vetting. Do they know what they are getting into? Do they need any extra Havanese information? Have they a vet that can give them a character reference? Responsible Havanese breeders have a clause in the contract that if the buyer has to give up the puppy for any reason, even when the dog has grown up, you will take the grown pup back.
