About
The Havanese Breed
Havanese, the only dog breed native to Cuba, are cheerful little dogs with a spring in their step and a gleam in their big, brown eyes. These vivacious and sociable companions are becoming especially popular with city dwellers. Distinctive features of the Havanese include a curled-over tail and a gorgeous silky coat, which comes in a variety of colors. Some owners enjoy cording the coat, and others clip it short to reduce grooming time. Happily, Havenese are just as cute no matter what hairdo you give them. Their small but sturdy bodies, adaptable nature, and social skills make Havanese an ideal city dog, but they are content to be anywhere that they can command the attention of admirers young and old alike. Havanese, smart and trainable extroverts with the comic instincts of a born clown, are natural trick dogs. Havanese are also excellent watchdogs and take the job seriously, but will usually keep the barking to a minimum.
Experienced Breeders & Trainers
Oakwood Kennels is working with Salida Del Sol Kennels (who have over 30 years experience in breeding the Havanese) to continue their champion lineage.
Having healthy, happy and well adjusted puppies is our breeding goal. We don't overbreed our females and their health is paramount in all breeding decisions we make, as they are our family pets. Our line of dogs have amazing temperaments and we breed with this in mind.

TESTIMONIALS FROM HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Very Thankful
A Wonderful Start
A Wonderful Start
Oakwood Kennels was a dream. They are pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. I have already recommended them, as a great dog breeder. Everyone that has met Baxter is smitten. He is a wonderful guy, well adjusted and a smart, happy boy. He has learning to do but he is quick to catch on, and has a terrific personality. This is a tribute to good breeding and proper care and knowledge in his early development. I feel I can always reach out to Oakwood at anytime, as they continue to have an interest in their puppies after they have gone to their new homes. Thank you for a wonderful dog.

Oakwood is not a kennel, it’s a family home where pups are nurtured into the world with love, attention and mindfulness. Carla’s set-up for Mumma and Pups is very comfortable. We adore our “Nugget” (of Gracie-Mae) … he’s a perfect balance between monk and monkey! Calm, kookie and loving! Huge kudos to Carla and family for the wonderful start they give these four-legged angels (you gotta see the vid of Carla’s son leading a “charge and retreat” of the 8 pups… hysterically adorable!!)

A Wonderful Start
Felt So Secure
We were so happy that we were able to come by and meet the puppies, be educated on the breed, and have any questions answered before committing. We even got to meet the mom, which was a first for us. We were kept updated with how and what the puppies were doing, and how their first vet appointment went. It was amazing to have Carla there readily for any questions, and that she is there to continue checking up and providing advice as needed. Throughout the whole process we felt secure and well informed.

I will recommend all my friends and family to Oakwood! Carla hand raises her puppies and there is a lot of work that goes into this. She is very attentive with not only the puppies physical development, but their mental stimulation as well. I consider her to be the perfect breeder. The litter of puppies was so jolly, sweet and well adjusted. Carla sent regular photos and videos so I got to see them grow. I couldn't be happier with the services & my new little puppy!

We had our first ever puppy from Oakwood and we are beyond grateful for all the support and help Carla has given us. Carla has prepared us for before we got Churro and continued to check up on Churro after we picked him up. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to training and the wellbeing of dogs.

Carla obviously puts a great deal of love and devotion into raising her litters. This is one area I feel is crucial in getting a top-notch puppy. The other critical area is the lineage of the litter. Since Oakwood is continuing the Salida Del Sol lineage, it is a proven line, so you are maximizing your chances of getting a sound puppy. Carla makes acquiring a puppy as easy as possible. I have no hesitation in recommending Oakwood Kennels for getting a puppy.
