At Narwyn, we are a Preservation Breeder of Havanese. We are always working to protect the historical charms of the Havanese - the things that make them wonderful companions like their size, coat, and temperament - while improving overall health and physical and mental soundness of the breed. We strive to produce healthy household pets, as well as dogs who can successfully compete in various dog sport venues. We have a three-tiered approach to making sure we produce happy, healthy Havanese:

• Our dogs complete conformation dog shows, as well as obedience, rally, canine good citizen, trick dog, or even agility when we have time! This gives us outside opinions on our dogs’ Havanese-y look and temperament.

• All of our parent dogs have passed the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) health testing requirements recommended by the Havanese Club of America, plus additional recommended health screenings.

• We take utmost care raising our puppies with socialization, handling, and care that sets the foundation for a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog.

We are also a Hobby Breeder, meaning we are very small scale and it is a labor of love, not an endeavor for profit. We average one litter a year and only sell puppies directly to carefully screened homes.

We are long-standing members of the Havanese Club of America and our local kennel club. We’re located in southern Rhode Island, and while we are not the only Havanese breeder around here, we are the only show breeder, AKC Breeder of Merit and HEART breeder, and the only one who takes this holistic approach to carefully producing Havanese with care for their history, health, and early socialization.
