Havana Silk Dog or Havanese puppies raised at Havana Silk Dogs By The Bay  are raised in our Virginia Beach, VA home with lots of love and attention for that perfect companion and/or show dog. Our priorities are the welfare, health and improvement of Havana Silk Dogs. In an effort to preserve the original Cuban Havanese type we take health issues very seriously. We health screen our adult dogs, including BAER test for hearing, OFA certify hips, patella and thyroid, and annual CERF and physicals to ensure that only the healthiest dogs are used for breeding. Our dogs must pass all of the tests as well as being soaped to screen for chondrodysplasia (CD) before being considered for breeding. Only dogs passing BAER, CERF, OFA Hips, Patellas and physical exam may be certified HSDAA Havana Silk Dogs.  At By The Bay we will only use for breeding HSDAA Certified Havana Silk Dogs.

Before going off to their new homes, all our puppies are micro chipped,  and have had their first vaccination and physical exam with our veterinarian.  Copies of their health records, puppy photos, pedigree and care instructions are included in each puppies personalized baby book.

We do not ship puppies... Have you ever had your bags lost? Dogs shipped as cargo are treated the same way as luggage... You must be able to come to our home to pick up your puppy. Many airlines will allow you to travel with your puppy in a dog carrier in the cabin with you under your seat.  In some cases delivery is available, please check with Ann for details.

By the Bay dogs are well-loved family members and fulfill the purposes for which they were bred most admirably. Our girls do love to have visitors. Please contact us at
