Do any of you know anyone with a Havana Brown Hav? I think they are so pretty, but seem to be kind of rare.

I think they're very pretty too.
I saw they have some havana brown puppies at a breeder called bumblebee acres. They have an awfully large selection of animals that they're involved with, but they do show and they health test. Very tempting.

I saw where they do a little bit of health testing on some dogs. A lot of black dogs turn Havana Brown and then may go on to another color or stay at it. My dark dogs went through the Havana Brown stage but have a silvering gene so they didn't stay there. If you look closely at the picture of the coat close up you'll see it's the Havana Brown but that's on another dog, not one of the puppies. The Havana Brown isn't a chocolate as they have black pigment. The browns have brown pigment (hopefully). There are a couple of Havana Browns here http://www.mts.net/~mckay55/colours6.html

You are correct, he is turning blue. We all thought for sure he was going to stay brown, then while doing my research paper on Havs, I took a closer look at the under coat near his back end and it sure was a purple, dusty color. He's still blackish/gray, brown in the front end. Maybe the front will catch up with his butt! Unlike his super cute bro Oreo, Sully's tail is silver and jet black. I would LOVE to see some pics of Oreo, Helen!
But he was brown for a good 1.5 years or so! Our mistake. And we love him and his rainbow of colors!

I wonder when you can tell that they'll be that color? I saw the bumblebee acres site....there are 4 puppies that she (assuming it's a she??) says are possibly havana browns, but they just look black to me. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a black...or a brindle...or a sable...get the picture?

I think Izzy might be a Havana Brown but I'm not sure yet. I'm also wondering if she may be silvering. She's supposed to be black and not have the silvering gene but we'll see. I've noticed she's starting to get more white hairs not enough so it's noticeable unless you look closely. We think she' beautiful whatever she ends up.

I think Izzy and Cash have almost identical coloring to their "black" he is sort of turning charcoal underneath and staying pretty black on the top of his head and as you know his face is both browning and silvery and in some lights his black looks brown. (Cash says he misses Izzy very much and would like us to schedule a play date) I will say this...his legs that were looking brownish are now very much charcoal. So we will see what he becomes I always thought Havana brown was a very, very dark chocolate color but with black pigmentation. But if he isn't black, I will eventually need a black pup...I could become a collector...one of every color.

Izzy is a cutie!! I don't think Sully is a Havana brown, as Oreo's coat is identical. Oreo has a silvering gene and is going a smokey brown but his tail is blue in spots. Interesting though how our Havanese keep us guessing. :) Regardless, we love them because of all the love they bring to our homes. :)

Max and Izzy are both beautiful, and Missy, you know I love Cash. I know coloring doesn't mean squat when choosing a puppy, but out of FOUR, you would think at least one of them would be a match for me, right? :biggrin1::biggrin1:

I would love to get a puppy for Cricket...but don't have any solid plans to do that right now. I was just cruising the net yesterday looking at puppies (why do I do that to myself?), and saw the bumblebee acres website. There are 4 puppies available, and they are all possibly Havana Browns. I first ran across that color on the colors of the rainbow site and thought they were so pretty...I like all the variation in the coat. I'm sure Cricket would love having a puppy to play with. It looks like the bumblebee folks do all the health testing, but I haven't inquired about the puppies, and their website doesn't specify who the parents are, so I haven't figured out yet whether the parents are tested. IF I do add another, I'm definitely going a different route this time as far as a breeder is concerned...want to make sure the puppies are socialized properly, parents are tested, etc.

Here are some pics to make you say IWAP too :) I like the last one...he looks like he's the darkest.

I think my Otto might be a Havana Brown Irish Pied . . . he looks black until you look at him next to a black dog. Phoebe is black and when they are side by side, he definitely looks brown . . . sort of black/brown brindle.

Missy, it looks like silvering, but I also see some brown in there. Whatever color he is, he's beautiful. That's one of my favorite things about these dogs...I love the color changes and unexpected surprises (except mats!) in their coats.
