Dr. Jennifer’s Havanese is a Havanese breeder in Sanford, NC, serving Lee County and the Research Triangle near Raleigh. Dr. Jennifer’s Havanese maintains litters registered with the American Kennel Club and follows Havanese Club of America guidelines, including genetic health screening for hips, eyes and cardiac function. Puppies are born and raised in a family home, where daily gentle handling and household sounds become part of their early world.

Jennifer Shaw’s background in animal health guides her breeding practices, ensuring each generation meets physical and behavioral benchmarks. She provides age-appropriate enrichment with supervised outdoor time, puzzle feeders and starter obedience exercises. Each puppy receives balanced nutrition and regular veterinary checkups, while socialization visits help them adapt to different people and settings. Many graduates are noted for their calm temperament and trainability, and some go on to therapy dog training within local wellness programs. Shaw remains available to advise families throughout each dog’s life on care, training and health matters.
