Code of Ethics
2 cUTE hAVANESE CODE OF eTHICS
AKC Foundation:
Our guide for the welfare, improvement and advancement of the Havanese breed is in accordance with the Standard, as approved by the American Kennel Club and based on the written records of breeders who were involved breeding Havanese when they first came to the states. We breed AKC Havanese ONLY.
Care:
Our Havanese live in our homes, receive excellent veterinary care, premium nutrition and regular grooming. We do not house our dogs outside of our homes in kennels, dog houses, etc.
Honesty Clause:
We strive to provide truth in advertising, information, and sales through education.
Breeding:
Every breeding will be done from the standpoint of bettering the breed. We make no guarantees to size, color or show quality although, we do breed for temperament, conformation, excellence and breed standard. Our adult dogs are OFA tested. Our dogs are seen by our outstanding veterinarian group whom we have been going to for years. We do not breed any dog until they are both physically and mentally mature. We do not continue to breed any dog beyond an appropriate age for the breed which is about eight years or earlier.
Records:
We keep complete and accurate records of individual dogs, litters, breeding, pedigree and puppy sales as required by the American Kennel Club. AKC has seen our records and we proudly have certifications of an excellent examinations.
Registration:
The breeder will provide the AKC application for registration at the time of sale or at the time of spaying or neutering confirmation by a licensed veterinarian. We sell puppies with Limited Registration (no breeding). Full Registration (breeding) is on a case by case basis and has an additional fee.
Our “Puppy People”:
We offer a ‘Meet and Greet’ for people to meet our adult Havanese to find out if this breed is a good fit for their lifestyle. Our puppies are precious but the buyer will spend the majority of time with an adult dog. We look for the right fit for our puppies. We hold the option to refuse sale to anyone. We have a ‘Havanese Day’ annually to visit with previous buyers and their Havanese.
Time of Sale:
We guarantee a healthy puppy with a limited 1 year warranty. Our puppies have had their dewclaws removed, they have been microchipped, and received their first puppy shots. Our puppies are seen by our veterinarian twice before they go home. They are naturally weaned by their mothers. We send home a toy that smells of Mom and siblings with a bag of dog food. We go over all of the information with the new buyer when they pick up their puppy. We provide a notebook with instruction on feeding, care, training and grooming, and medical records including dates and types of vaccinations, etc. We strongly discourage taking a puppy into public until 2 weeks after it has had its’ final puppy shots. We offer several ways to continue to socialize their puppy.
Contracts:
Contracts are clear, complete and mandatory. All conditions are agreed upon between buyer and seller as written. Our contract states that the breeder/seller be notified if the owner is unable to keep the Havanese. If the buyer can no longer keep a havanese purchased from 2 Cute our contract requires it to be returned, regardless of the reason or circumstances necessitating its return. There is no refund. Please read and understand our contract on this website prior to purchase.
Preservation Breeders:
We aspire to be Preservation Breeders what that means is that we try to consider all factors in each breeding and in choosing the best pairs to produce the healthiest and happiest puppies we can, this includes such things as genetic diversity testing as well as health testing, always keeping the Co-efficient of Inheritability (COI) as low as possible.

Testing Guidelines
When we began 2 Cute Havanese we wanted to always have the healthiest of puppies possible. To have healthy puppies requires healthy adult dogs. We needed to qualify “Healthy” and to the best of their ability OFA looks at each breed and provides testing recommendations specifically for that breed. News in genetic testing is exploding. Is there a plethora or bounty of tests available to cover all the bases from A to Z? No, not at this time but there are some DNA tests available. It is a growing field.
Why Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA)? What is OFA?
For over 50 years OFA has strived and grown to improve the overall breeding health of animals via testing, collecting data, assimilation, and informative management of tests results.
“Our mission is to promote the health and welfare of companion animals through a reduction in the incidence of genetic disease.”
“The CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) database is a tool that collects health information on individual animals from multiple sources. This centralized pool of data is maintained to assist breeders in making more informed breeding choices, and for scientists in conducting research. The CHIC program is breed-specific. In order to be in this database, a dog must be CHIC Certified.” - https://www.ofa.org/about Please go to their site to read more about their Objectives, Funded Research, Databases and DNA Repository. Test results are submitted for certificates. If not flaw free then the flaw and degree is determined and recorded on each certificate with any breeding recommendations. If all breed tests are turned in, then, the owner will be sent a CHIC certificate.
OFA Test Recommendations for Havanese
BAER - A test for deafness with specialized equipment given by a qualified DVM.
CAER - A canine ophthalmologist screens for hereditary eye abnormalities and diseases. Previously this was called CERF.
Patellar Luxation (Patella or Kneecap in rear legs) - A DVM gives a physical examination of the patella to check if the kneecap pops
or slides out of normal position.
Canine Hip Dysplasia (CHD) - A DVM gives a physical examination and takes an x-ray of the hips to check for a proper joint fit.
Heart - Not an OFA test suggestion for Havanese but our DVMs check for irregularities because we care.

2 Cute Havanese DNA Testing
CDDY – Chondrodystrophy is an avoidable mutation that can be identified through genetic testing at UC Davis VGL. CDPA - Chondrodysplasia, was CD now known as CDPA, in the article "Breed Defining Chondrodysplasia" by Julia Bouirmane in My Dog DNA explains CDPA is a "desirable trait". CDPA is a characteristic found in many breeds such as French Bulldogs, Corgis or Shih Tzu and others. It is part of what is grouped as a "breed defining," positive trait. Diversity – A genome-wide DNA test to identify the level of diversification or inbreeding in a subject. Deducing the Coefficient of Inbreeding or COI (0% -25% and higher) allows the breeder to choose the best pairings from his/her kennel. The lower percentage indicates fewer blood relations. Lack of DNA diversity is a very serious issue for several breeds including Havanese. There is more to breeding such as temperament, conformation, etc. |
