Claim this spotHavanese stud fees usually sit between $500 and $1,500. A health-tested male without titles often charges $500 to $1,000. However, AKC champions and proven sires from show lines commonly ask $1,500 to $2,500.
These are market estimates, since owners set fees privately. Because Havanese puppies sell for strong prices, some owners price the service at the value of one puppy. Our stud fee guide explains that rule of thumb.
$500 to $1,500+
Overall range: $500 to $2,500
Health-tested, untitled male: $500 to $1,000
Champion or proven show-line sire: $1,500 to $2,500
The Havanese Club of America asks breeders to test before every breeding, and the AKC lists the core tests on its Toy Group health testing page. Owners upload these results for the Verified Health badge:
Test
What we accept
Eyes
Exam by a board-certified ophthalmologist (ACVO), repeated yearly
Hips
OFA hip evaluation or PennHIP
Patellas
Veterinary patellar luxation exam, registered with OFA
Brucellosis
Negative test taken before the breeding
Eye exams should be repeated every year, because cataracts can appear later. In addition, many breeders run a BAER hearing test, which the parent club also supports. Finally, look at the front legs. Short, bowed forelegs point to a bone growth problem that breeders work to avoid. Registered results appear on the OFA website.
Our health testing guides explain each of these exams in everyday language.
First, check his legs. Breeders often wet the coat, a trick called soaping, to see the true shape of the front legs. They should be straight. So ask the owner for a soaped photo from the front and the side.
Next, look at size and outline. The standard calls for 8.5 to 11.5 inches at the shoulder, with a body slightly longer than tall and a springy gait. Dogs sold as "teacup" Havanese fall outside it.
Finally, think about coat and color. Every color is allowed. However, the coat should be soft, light and wavy, not harsh or woolly. In addition, a good Havanese is outgoing and funny, never shy.
The AKC describes the Havanese as intelligent, outgoing and funny. It is the national dog of Cuba and the only breed native to the island. Adults weigh 7 to 13 pounds.
The Havanese ranked 25th in AKC registrations for 2025. It sheds little, travels well and thrives on company. As a result, puppies are in constant demand, and a tested sire helps keep quality high.
Havanese generally breed naturally and without trouble. Still, chilled semen is helpful, because fully tested males are spread thinly across the country. Frozen semen from champion lines is also available from some kennels. Each profile lists the methods on offer.
