Our new puppy!

It's been quiet around here since the last of the puppies went home this past weekend, other than the one we kept. We kept Windy, name now Willow, who is out of Razzle by Posh. She's a full sister to Karen Randall's Kodi.

She spent a lot of time in a small expen the first day, and came out in the house with us and the rest of the dogs when she was playful. Now she has the run of the house, falls asleep in a lap to be put back in her sleeping pen, and gets right into everything with the other dogs except she has to eat in a wire crate, because she is VERY food motivated, and doesn't mind getting snapped at trying to steal food out of someone elses bowl.

She goes to a litter box every time, and hasn't had the first "accident". We do have one extra box out in front of the TV.

Just a little while ago, she asked to go outside for the first time. The picture below is from her session outside.

She is a real pleasure, little trouble, and fits right in with the rest of them

She's awfully cute and definitely Kodi's sister. Glad you and Pam won't be without a puppy in the house this winter. Just think of how lonely you would be:)
Recently, we've had a thread about fading colors in the Havanese. Do these dogs with black heads ever change to silver or do they retain their black coloring? Also, have any of your all black puppies stayed that black? Just curious.

We have had some extreme partis silver where the black was, but never one out of Razzle. Hers always stay black. We haven't had color testing done on the girls, but results are pretty obvious for puppies born before the DNA testing became available.

We have had quite a number of puppies to stay black.

You could set a clock by her. Every morning since the time changed, she wakes up, and asks politely to get up, at 7:22. We put her in a big expen in the room next to our bedroom when she wakes up. Then I get dressed and let the rest of the dogs out. She can see where I'm getting dressed. The past two mornings she barked while I was getting dressed. This morning she just watched wagging her tail until Pam picked her up to take her in the house. As is typical, she loves knowing what the routine is. She jumps into her crate when it's time for bed now and waits quietly for us to get ready and get in bed.

The only little difference in hers and Kodi's coloring is that she is a Black and Tan. She has the little tan eyebrows, but they are tiny, and you have to almost look for them.

Oh, I love eyebrows!

Uh, Tom, why does it sound like you are getting dressed outside?:):)

Wow, she sure looks like a pretty girl!!! Will you be able to breed her to Brio? since they are first cousins?



He is an outdoors man! :pound:

Sounds like you have her well trained and at such a young age. That's why getting one of the Starborn puppies is such a great thing. You certainly give them a god start in life.

Why do you bring in outside blood, Tom, when you state that you have developed a "clean line"? Wouldn't that be introducing an unknown factor after knowing what you've been getting with your own line? Sorry if I sound dumb, but I'm just trying to understand.
