Please check out the little guy, “Carrot,”that is available below and his special circumstances.
If you are interested in a future litter, please contact us by email. At this time, we are not sure when we will be expecting another litter. Our girl’s seasons have been off by a couple of months. Once we have a successful breeding, I will announce it here.
Waitlist process: Please contact us by email. I will then call you. If both parties decide it is a good fit during the phone call, you are welcome to place a nonrefundable deposit of $500 to hold your place on the waitlist. Your place on the waitlist is determined by when your deposit was received. Once your deposit has been placed, you will be invited to a Dropbox when the pups are born where there will be lots of videos and pictures. After choosing a puppy, the option to transfer the deposit to another litter is no longer an option.
Please follow us on instagram at hillsidehavanese or Facebook at Hillside Havanese. We have lots of pictures and videos with info on how we raise our pups. I cannot answer any questions about the pups on social media as it is against their rules, so please contact me by email.
We do not give full breeding rights. All pups are $2500 regardless of color or gender, deposit is included in the $2500. This does not include any delivery charges, if there are any.
This is “Carrot” from our fall 2026 litters. He has been in his new home since September 20th. He now lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, but unfortunately his new mom needs to rehome him. She has had a major life change and can no longer care for him. He is perfectly healthy and does not have any temperament problems. In fact, his new mom has all of this to say about this little guy.
“This may be too long but there’s so much I could say about him. He’s just a wonderful little guy.
Winston is an affectionate, playful, observant, silly and adventurous little boy who absolutely loves being with his person. He freely gives kisses, loves belly rubs and happily follows you from room to room to see what you’re doing. He has a wonderful personality and has brought so much laughter and joy in the short time he’s been here.
Winston loves to play and definitely has his favorite toys already. His little duck is a favorite that he carries around, and he loves chasing his ball and bringing it back to you. He also loves sharing his toys with his person. And, of course, he has some pretty impressive puppy zoomies!
He’s curious and observant when experiencing something new, but so far he has taken new experiences in stride. He rides very well in the car and in his stroller. We’ve spent time at the greenway where he’s watched people and dogs go by from the safety of his stroller or my lap, and he simply observes what’s happening around him. At home, he’s been exposed to normal household noises including the dishwasher, microwave, fans and laundry appliances, as well as recordings of fireworks, thunder, sirens and other sounds. We’ve even had several real thunderstorms, and Winston was completely unfazed.
He’s also a smart little guy and enjoys learning. At just 10½ weeks old, Winston has already learned sit, responds to his name and comes when called. We’re also working on keeping four paws on the floor, getting comfortable wearing his collar and harness, and beginning leash skills.
Potty training is going very well for his age. When kept on a consistent puppy schedule and taken outside after eating, drinking, playing and sleeping, Winston will go outside to potty. When asked, “Do you need to go outside?” he has learned to run toward the back door. He also knows how to use a dog litter box as a backup. Of course, he’s still a very young puppy, so accidents can happen when his signals aren’t caught in time.
One of Winston’s superstar qualities is sleeping through the night without needing a potty break. He also does well with regular naps throughout the day, which are important for keeping up with all that growing, learning and playing.
Winston is a great eater and loves making mealtime interesting. Some of his kibble is used throughout the day for training, and he especially enjoys his snuffle mat and treat-dispensing ball. He’s also enjoyed frozen Kongs made with his kibble and homemade chicken broth, and recently discovered that Greek yogurt in his Kong is pretty wonderful too! So far, he has shown no signs of being a picky eater.
I’ve also continued preparing him for the grooming and handling that will be part of his life as a Havanese. Winston is brushed daily and is comfortable having his paws, ears and mouth handled. He’s even been introduced to his toothbrush. Brushing has become part of his relaxing evening routine.
Most of all, Winston is simply a very
loving, happy little puppy. He’s affectionate, funny, curious and loves being involved with his person. The family who gets Winston is going to be getting an amazing puppy who I believe will grow into an equally amazing dog. He is incredibly special and very, very loved.”
There will be a rehoming fee. Any and all money transactions will have to be between you and his current mom in Tennessee. I did recommend the rehoming fee be $2500 as she has been continuing the socialization and potty training we started with him here. She did have her vet do an exam when he first arrived in Tennessee and he did not find any issues. I will be vetting any new potential families so that we find a good home for him. After you contact me, if we both decide it is a good fit, I will give you his new mom’s info so you can contact her to make delivery arrangements and discuss rehoming fee. He is 11 weeks on September 30th.
All of the puppies will be AKC registered and will come with limited AKC registration. This shows that the pups are registered/papered, but will not be allowed to breed. I DO NOT sell the puppies with full AKC breeding rights. Papers will be sent to new families after proof of spay/neuter, which is stated in a signed contract. Our pups will come microchipped AND the microchip will be preregistered with AKC reunite or FiNano. Usually the registration will cost extra for the families, but we have decided to provide this benefit in order to ensure they have been registered. The new families name will be first on the microchip information and then our name will be secondary in case the family moves or forgets to register the pup. Our main concern is always for the pups and we want to make sure that in the event they are lost, they will never be put up for adoption at a shelter.
A non refundable deposit to hold a pup until they are ready to go home is $500 and will go towards the purchase price. Choice of puppy based on the order in which deposit was received. We will not hold a puppy without a deposit. We reserve the right to have 1st pick of any litter. We accept Zelle, Good Dog pay and cash.
Our farm is about 1 hour from Boise, Idaho, but we no longer accept visitors. Too many breeders I know that have taken many precautions with visitors still contracted parvo, which is often times fatal to the entire litter. It’s just too risky. Our puppy families have been very happy to select a puppy based on the many pictures and videos provided and through my recommendations.
Ask for details on delivery, most times we can deliver anywhere in the United States. There may be an extra charge for delivery depending on the distance. We often hand deliver anywhere in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Utah. I have also met many families at our local airport in Boise, Idaho and have delivered to their local airport.
Please call/text my cell phone or email me. Sometimes my cell doesn’t work as well when I’m at home, so if I don’t respond, please try again later or email me. Although I try to return phone calls promptly, sometimes I cannot get back to you right away. I can assure you that I do return calls in the order they were received, so you don’t miss out on the puppy you were wanting unless someone else called before you.
