Top 7 Reasons to Skip the Pet Store and Choose Havanese Haven for Your Havapoo Puppy
Presented by Havanese Haven
Looking for a puppy and thinking about visiting a pet store? You’re not alone. Many people head to pet shops expecting to find a furry best friend, but what most don’t realize is that pet stores often can’t offer the quality, transparency, and love that home-based ethical breeders can.
At Havanese Haven, we specialize exclusively in top-quality Havapoo puppies, raised with care, love, and integrity. While traditional pet stores offer convenience, here are 7 big reasons why getting your puppy from a dedicated breeder like us is the smarter, safer choice.
-
Specialized Havapoo Breeder, Not Just “Any Puppy”
Most pet stores sell multiple breeds, which can lead to inconsistent quality and a lack of breed knowledge.
At Havanese Haven, we breed only Havapoos. That means you get:
- Predictable traits (coat, size, temperament)
- Deep breed knowledge
- Puppies from healthy, well-matched parent dogs
This level of focus just can’t be found at big-box stores.
-
Home-Raised With Love, Not Kept in Glass Cages
Pet store puppies often come from large-scale breeders or mills and are kept in tiny display boxes.
Our puppies are raised right in our home, with family, socialization, and structure from the very beginning.
They’re used to:
- Kids and everyday household sounds
- Playtime in open spaces
- Love, cuddles, and a soft bed, not a storefront
-
Health-Checked and Guaranteed
Unlike many pet stores that give minimal vet info, our Havapoos come with a health guarantee and full veterinary care, including:
- Vaccinations
- Deworming
- Vet checks
- Health contract for peace of mind
You’ll always know your puppy’s medical background before they come home.
-
Transparency: You See What You’re Getting
On our website HavaPoo4U.com, we share:
- Current available puppies with names, photos, and descriptions
- Details like coat color, eye color, personality, and estimated adult size
- Video calls upon request (after 6-week vaccinations)
Try asking for all that at a pet store.
-
Lifetime Breeder Support
Buy from a pet store and you’re on your own.
Buy from Havanese Haven, and we’re here for you before, during, and after adoption. Have a question at 6 months or 6 years? We’re just a message away.
We care where our puppies go, and we’re here to help them thrive.
-
Affordable, Ethical Pricing, No Gimmicks or Markups
Pet stores often markup puppies by thousands while hiding their origins.
At Havanese Haven, you’ll find:
- Transparent, fair pricing ($550–$1,200 range)
- No middlemen
- No hidden “processing” or “store” fees
You pay for quality care, not overhead.
-
We’re Not a Puppy Mill, We’re a Family
Many pet store puppies come from high-volume breeding operations where parent dogs live in poor conditions.
That’s never the case at Havanese Haven.
We’ve been raising happy, healthy pups since 1989, with:
- Breeding mamas treated like family
- Limited litters per year for better care
- A deep love for every puppy we raise
Why Choose a Pet Store When You Can Choose Family?
Sure, it’s easy to walk into a store and walk out with a pup, but if you want a happy, healthy Havapoo with a great temperament, raised in a loving home and supported by breeders who care, Havanese Haven is your best bet.
