Breeding does not mean to produce cute little puppies, it means to at least maintain the quality of the breed with the goal of improving the quality of the breed in all aspects. Striving towards the perfect picture of a Hovawart as it is described in the breed standard. Because this is what we consider a “real” Hovawart – in health, temperament and appearance!

HCNA sets standards that encourage and guide breeders to select the best possible breeding pair to produce the highest quality pupies. Selecting an HCNA approved puppy gives you the assurance that both parents have been individually evaluated for superior characteristics and that the breeding pair has been chosen to optimize the best traits of the breed.
