Understanding the Litter
While personality is key, health is paramount. Observe the puppies for any visible signs of illness, such as lethargy, unusual coughing, or skin issues. A reputable breeder will be upfront about health checks and vaccination records, so don’t hesitate to ask for this documentation. Ensuring that the puppy you select has no health issues will ultimately lead to a joyful experience for both you and your new Havanese companion.

Health Considerations
When you arrive at the breeder’s facility, take a moment to observe the entire litter of Havanese puppies. This initial observation is crucial, as it allows you to see how each puppy interacts with their siblings and their environment. Pay attention to their energy levels and how they respond to both their surroundings and people. You want a puppy that matches your lifestyle, whether it’s a playful ball of energy or a more laid-back snuggler.
Identifying Personalities
A seasoned breeder will have been with the puppies since day one and can provide invaluable insights into their personalities. Engage with the breeder and ask them about each puppy’s behavior and traits. They know these pups intimately and can help you identify which one will best fit into your home. Look for signs of socialization, curiosity, and comfort around people. A confident puppy often indicates a well-adjusted personality.
