I am new to this forum. We live in a quiet neighborhood in Upstate New York (suburban Buffalo area) and my wife of 30 years and I are looking for a Havanese. Our Weaton family member was lost to old age after 12+ wonderful years. Our family pet prior to Charley, our Wheaton, was Jess, a lovely Bichon who we had for 14 years. We're now looking for a Havanese to become a family member. We work with a groomer weekly who shows dogs at a high level, and she loves them and I think appreciates the effort we take in caring for our family members who happen to be pets. If there is an area of the site where I can learn about finding a healthy female Havanese, I'd appreciate learning how to do that. As I've read the posts on this site, I'm taken by the maturity and kindness of the Havanese community. Thank you for allowing me to join this Havanese community. Best, Bruce
