The best quality puppy for your family is adopting one one from a reputable breeder who is licensed by the United States Government, inspected by AKC and a Veterinarian every year, with a price between $1800 - $2200.

Less than $1200

Havanese puppies for sale that are less than $1200 are generally being raised in puppy mills or by backyard breeders. They may also breed more than one kinds of dogs. This is a warning sign and they should be avoided. From poor breeding and socialization, they lose the excellent temperament of the Havanese and their breeding practices ("line" or "inbreeding") lead to Health and Genetic problems.  Puppies that are born and raised in this environment are not held, loved or socialized. There is usually little or no licensing or training with these breeders.

The last group of Havanese breeders basically breed for the same qualities and goals as the second group.  The only difference is that their dogs are being shown in competitions around the country.   This seems to be the competitive group.  These breeders tend to ask a higher price for their puppies since they travel around and show a number of their dogs.
