HOORAY DESI!!!!!
All of us here at DawnGlo join Icee in congratulating her son, Desi, in obtaining
his Delta Society Therapy Dog Certificate!
Desi completed a rigorous training course and passed a demanding test in order
to become a Certified Delta Therapy Dog. We could not be prouder of Desi and Tiffany, both for their dedication to a very
worthy goal and to the teamwork and love they have for each other. We love you guys! And are SO PROUD of you both!

* AKC CHIC: What is it and why are we so proud of it?
AKC CHIC stands for: American Kennel Club Canine Health Information Center. The AKC, in conjunction
with various national breed clubs, has centralized its database for various health test results. A CHIC number means that
the individual dog has submitted to all health tests deemed important to a sound breeding program by the AKC Parent
Club. In this case, the Havanese Club of America has designated the following health tests as vital to a sound Havanese breeding
program: Hips: Patellas (knees): CERF (genetic eye problems) - a YEARLY examination: BAER (uni-lateral
or bi-lateral hearing). Icee has obtained her CHIC number by taking and passing
all designated health tests and, in fact, exceeds the recommended tests by also having her Elbow, Legge-Calves-Perthes
Disease and Heart clearances. A dog does not have to PASS all tests in order to obtain
a CHIC number but in our case, Icee has passed every test with flying colors and the results
may be viewed at the OFA website: www.offa.org Simply insert her AKC number - TR19059703 in the search field to see the results
of all tests. Her test results are also available on her website pages along with the ratings she received.

Why look for a breeder who health tests breeding stock? After all, you just want a pet, not a
show dog! The importance of insuring a breeder starts with the healthiest dogs possible cannot be stressed enough. A sick
dog does not make a good pet! If your dog develops juvenile cataracts at the age of 6 months, you are looking at a future
of eye surgeries. If your puppy develops hip dysplasia at a year, you are looking at a future of impaired mobility and very,
very costly surgeries that involve long periods of recovery.
No breeder can absolutely guarantee that a puppy will never have a health issue. We are not gods
nor can we turn out "cookie cutter puppies" - all alike and all perfect. If we could, we would! What we CAN do is avail ourselves
of current medical technologies and insure our breeding stock is as healthy and free of the physical symptoms of genetic disease
as we can find. Dedicated, reputable breeders do our best to bring healthy puppies into the world and we support genetic research
into the problems that affect our breed(s). But until those magic 'genetic tests' are available to us, all we can do
is the BEST we can do with what we have at hand now. And work for a better future for our dogs.
Take the time to become an educated consumer BEFORE you add that Havanese puppy to your family!

Please turn on your speakers! We have added sound!
At DawnGlo we are owned by HAVANESE (AKC recognized). Our HAVANESE (AKC recognized) are
healthy, straight and equal in front, have the requisite 'almond eye', the slightly rising topline and coat appropriate for
this AKC recognized breed. Icee is our foundation bitch and she holds 7 health clearances and has passed ALL of them.
She has a GOOD rating on her hips. Both Icee and Smudge (who has been spayed and was never bred) are CERFd every year
and both receive cardiac exams annually. I would not now nor would I ever breed a dog that I know to have a health
issue such as but not limited to: ELBOW DYSPLASIA, HIP DYSPLASIA, GENETIC EYE PROBLEMS, UNI-OR-BI-LATERAL DEAFNESS, CARDIAC
PROBLEMS, LIVER PROBLEMS, CROOKED LEGS, MONORCHIDISM (undescended testicle) or any other abnormality that could affect
the health of any puppies from that dog.
I am NOT associated with the Havana Silk Dogs and do not intend to become associated with
them. A great many members of the Havanese Club of America, myself included, care a great deal about the health
of the Havanese breed and are dedicated to breeding correct and healthy Havanese. While some may talk the talk but fail to
walk the walk (in that they use dogs with health issues in their breeding programs), I both talk and walk the same ethical
line. The person I have to live with is myself...the dogs I have to look in the eye are my beloved Icee, Smudge and our
first home-bred puppy, Emmy. I owe all of us all the excellence I can bring to the breeding program at DawnGlo. Thank
you for visiting with us today!

Buyer Beware!
It has come to our attention that some breeders advertise "Health Tested" breeding stock when,
in fact, the dog(s) that have been tested have NOT PASSED all of their health screenings!
NEVER TAKE SOMEONE'S "WORD" for the results of a specific health test! Always ask to see the
paperwork/test results for yourself!
OFA issues certificates for each health test registered with them and the results of these tests
may be viewed on the OFA website. Simply go to www.offa.org and put the dog's AKC registration number in the Search Field. You will then be directed to a page that shows
each test, the date of the test and the test results for that particular dog!
Conditions such as cataracts, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, luxating patellas
and uni-or-bi-lateral deafness DO HAVE GENETIC COMPONENTS AND CAN BE PASSED ON TO THE PUPPIES! Become
an Educated Consumer BEFORE YOU BUY! Buy from breeders who ONLY BREED DOGS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY PASSED ALL OF THEIR HEALTH SCREENINGS!
