Have you or any one in the puppy’s future household ever been arrested, charged or convicted for animal cruelty or animal hoarding?
Here is your opportunity to tell us about your lifestyle and give us some idea about your family and what our little luvs can expect living in your home. You may also share why you desire to own a Havanese.

Ownership Commitment
Will you be able to pick up your puppy in person in Yorktown, Virginia? *
How will you receive your new puppy?*
Havanese require professional grooming approx. every 8 weeks, and it can cost $50+ each time. Lack of grooming can cause serious skin problems. Are you committed to this necessary expense?*
Do you agree to give us follow-up reports and photos from time to time? A simple way to do this is to follow us on Facebook. *
Do you agree to contact us in the case that you need to re-home this puppy for whatever reason? *

What to Expect
Completing this application is a step in the process to acquiring a puppy from I love Havanese Dogs (ILHD), but it does not guarantee I'll get a puppy from this or any future litter. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time.
DEPOSIT: During pregnancy or after birth, approved homes will receive a link to make a commitment deposit of $500 on a puppy, and links will be sent out in the order approved applications were received. Please make this deposit within 12 hours of the approval e-mail. Deposits are non-refundable and only refundable in the unlikelyhood that something happens to a puppy and we are unable to provide you with one.

The remaining balance is due when Puppies are 6 weeks of age or at the time of pick up if you are a local and want to pay cash. If you make a deposit, you are committing to take a puppy from the litter, regardless of whether your gender preference is available.
SPAY/NEUTER: We require spay/neuter at or before 1 year of age. If you're a breeder you should probably look elsewhere. This might seem hypocritical at first glance, but we have a take-back provision in our contract. Any puppy from our home always has a home here, and will never experience the fear and burden of life at a shelter. Taking back an unaltered dog into our home poses significant risk to our own dogs due to canine STDs and the possiblity an unaltered dog could be pregnant. Sadly, many well-intentioned folks don't remember to spay before the first heat cycle, and suddenly their barely-adolescent dog is pregnant by multiple studs of unknown heritage. Spay surgery while pregnant is exceedingly risky, and several canine STDs such as brucellosis can be transferred to humans, which poses an unacceptable risk to our family. Because we take cradle-to-grave "original home" responsibility for the puppies we create, puppies must be de-sexed.
REGISTRATION PAPERS: Our excellent family companions may or may not come with registration papers. There is an additional fee to have them registered and it's not necessary when purchasing as a pet. We will gladly show you the AKC paperwork on the parents of these cute little guys so that you know for sure that they are indeed Purebred Havanese.
CONTRACT: We have a contract and will not place a puppy without a signed contract. We believe it's the professional thing to do to memorialize our obligations to each other on paper so there are no questions later. If you have questions about specific terms, you need to contact us prior to picking up your puppy.
