Havanese Of Claverack

Havanese Of Claverack breeds Havanese and Labrador retrievers in Hudson, NY, in the Hudson Valley near Albany. Terri Melnyk conducts health screenings for hips, elbows, and eye conditions following American Kennel Club guidelines.

Each puppy is raised in a home setting, receives daily socialization and basic obedience introduction, and has access to supervised play areas. Litters are socialized with children and other pets, and several alumni have gone on to therapy work programs. Havanese tend to thrive on interaction while Labrador retrievers develop strong retrieving skills in their backyard environment.

Breeding pairs live indoors with supervised access to outdoor runs and exercise areas on a two-acre property, promoting balanced puppy development. Clients appreciate regular updates on feeding schedules, temperament notes, and guidance on training milestones. Puppies leave with health records, a supply of starter food, and a care guide tailored to each breed.
