The Havana Silk Dog
Welcome to SKILERS HAVANESE home on the Internet. We like to say, "Best friends are bred here."
We are dog breeders in Iowa. We raise one litter a year in our home. If you want a fun dog to own, the
Havanese is the right choice. Our dogs are for pets, show-dogs, agility and rally. These dogs are very
intuitive. They make great therapy dogs. One of my pups went on to be a Therapy Dog who alerts on
grandmal seizures. The Havanese is playful and a delightful addition to any family. They are very smart
and trainable.  The Havanese is AKC recognized in the Toy Group.  They originated in Cuba where they
were held for centuries by the aristocracy. We are delighted to introduce you to a toy dog who is not hyper
or yappy and steals your heart with the first encounter. Meet Keto, Ginger and Whisper.

The Havana Silk Dog is an AKC registered Havanese who meets the strict
criteria of Health, Soundness, straight forelegs free of any "CD", a happy
wonderful temperament, carrying a beautiful silky coat.
 All Havana Silk Dogs at this time, meet the standard of the AKC Havanese
but not all Havanese can or will meet the criteria for an Havana Silk Dog.
