Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Amor Havanese located in Yuba City, CA. I reside in California and have been breeding home-raised Havanese since 1999! My dogs are the sweetest addition to any family! I focus on breeding healthy, happy Havanese from health-tested parents. I am a breeder of Merit and pride myself in placing well-socialized puppies into caring homes. I love to mentor and show dogs!

Mary’s experience

  • About Mary

    I started in dogs in 1970 first in St. Bernards then Briards and moved into Havanese in 1999. I worked for a vet for years and as a groomer. I love to show my dogs and breed quality Havanese to share with others that will love them just as much as me!

  • What makes Mary’s program special

    I work hard to breed the best dogs possible using good bloodlines and health-tested dogs. I follow all the steps to raising well-socialized puppies and prioritize staying connected to each family that welcomes on of my puppies into their home.

Getting a puppy from Mary

Mary has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices range from $3,000 - $3,500 and include a refundable deposit of $500.

“I take deposits to hold puppies but not until the puppies are on the ground and are doing well. My price is average for this breed. Deposits are used to hold a puppy for new owners. If something happens and they can't take the puppy, the deposit is refundable.”

Contract and health guarantee

Mary may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Mary offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Mary directly.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Amor 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.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (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.

  • Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA), Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
