We are dedicated to healthy dogs with great temperaments! My name is Megan, and I want to thank you for your interest in Havana Golden Retrievers! The first thing you need to know is that I love what I do and value each and every one of my dogs and puppies. Golden Retrievers have been a passion of mine since a young age. I have over ten years of experience working with dogs in many settings includ
ing breeding and training. Havana Golden Retrievers is a small kennel, but we take what we do very seriously. We are located in Owatonna, Minnesota on a six acre hobby farm. Our dogs are health tested by the OFA for hip dysplasia as well as thoroughly examined regularly by our veterinarian. We work closely with our vet to assure all of our dogs are cleared for breeding. In addition to health clearances, our dogs participate in training programs and performance trials to prove their temperaments. We strive to breed dogs that are true to the Golden temperament-- dogs that are loyal, loving family members. Our goal is that our Goldens are versatile and can go in any direction you desire to take them whether that is a performance dog, a therapy prospective, a hunting partner, or a lifetime family companion. Xena has completed her NA and NAJ agility titles and will continue to compete after her next litter of puppies. She loves to retrieve balls from the lake, adores children, has a natural hunting drive, and has a fun, sassy personality. Xena comes from field lines and also has many siblings that are therapy dogs and hunting companions. Finnick is currently in training for rally and will hopefully start competing this spring. He is a "people person" and is what every person thinks about when envisioning the loving Golden personality. Finnick comes from very diverse lines with champions in conformation, agility, rally, obedience, and hunting. All puppies are AKC registered (limited) and come with first shots, deworming, vet exam, dew claws removed, a two year health guarantee, a blanket with the mother's scent on it, puppy food, and lifetime breeder support. We also offer training advice and lessons if desired. In order to make the transition from our home to your home as easy as possible, our puppies will come to you well socialized. They will be exposed to kids, other animals, new environments, multiple surfaces/objects, and a variety of everyday noises. All puppies will also be exposed to a crate and started on potty training. Please feel free to contact us at any time in regards to puppies, dogs, or training. If you are interested in being put on our waiting list, please send us a message. We can then interview you and email you a puppy questionnaire. If we agree that it is a fit at that time, you will be placed on the waiting list. Once an ultrasound confirms puppies are on the way, a REFUNDABLE deposit will secure your place on the list. I reserve the right to deny anyone a puppy if I feel the home is not a proper fit.
