Sedoso dogs are bred for one purpose and that purpose is breed type.  We aren't one of those breeders that put two dogs together because "they are so pretty."   If you are seeking a puppy born to no purpose, to dogs that haven't been health tested and lack breed type, you won't be happy with our puppies.

If, however, you are seeking a healthy puppy for pet or show, bred to be the best representative of the breed it can be.......well then you came to the right place.

What sets our puppies apart is breed type.  All of our puppies have shoulder layback ≥ 30°.  In dog lingo that means our layback is moderate to elegant.  Our breed standard calls for a moderately arched neck with layback not to exceed 40° and that's just what you get with one of our puppies.  When you look at our dogs you'll see the neck isn't just stuck on the end of a long body.  Our dogs have balance and a moderately arched neck.  We do it on purpose because it's supposed to be that way.

Our puppies have the proper silky coat.  Now every breeder in the country will tell you their Havanese has a silky coat, but there is a difference.  Some Havanese have a cottony coat instead of a silky coat.  When you feel our silky coat, you'll notice the difference quickly.  If you are never around the proper coat type it's easy to get the two confused because both are soft.  A silky coat has a very slight soft undercoat.  It is almost like no undercoat at all; and serves to only hold the topcoat away from the skin.  If you visited Cuba, you wouldn't find a Havanese that looks like it was plugged into an electrical socket.  Ours are silky on purpose.

Our puppies have the correct almond shaped eye.  It's important to have an almond shaped eye in this breed......not just because our breed standard demands it, but because without it, you run the risk of shortening the muzzle length and changing the face of the dog.  The only way you can get an almond eye is by paying attention to the little things.  Just like everything else in life, it's the little things that count.  Sedoso Havanese have almond shaped eyes on purpose.

Our puppies have the correct topline.  We breed dogs with short upper arms to get our proper topline.  When you look at a Sedoso dog, you'll see the rear is higher than the shoulders.  Because our Breed Standard calls for it, we do it on purpose.

Our puppies are bred to not have genetic deficiencies.  Not that all are perfect.  But if you start with healthy dogs, who have been screened against diseases that effect our breed; and have been screened that way for generations........that's like stacking the deck in our favor.  We do that on purpose.

The quality of Sedoso puppies can be seen in their relatives too.  Dottie's sister and grandfather are 2 of only 3 Best in Show Havanese in the US, ever.  Her sister also won Best of Breed at the 2005 Havanese Club of America National Specialty.  While Jake has won Best of Breed 6 out of his last 13 shows, he's relatively young.  His Great Grandsire is one of the top producing Havanese in the world.  His Grandsire won the Havanese Nationals in 2003 as well as Best of Breed at Westminster the same year.  His Sire is almost finished growing out his cords and will hit the show ring next year.  It should be fun watching Sonic and Jake in the ring together.

So thanks for visiting.  I hope you learned enough to want to check out our site in more detail.  If you'd like to inquire about a show puppy click here.
