Seems there are so many new members! Decided to start a new introduce yourself thread. Please post pictures!

Hi,
I am Linda. I live outside of Philadelphia. I have 3 wonderful havanese.

Bella almost 8 years old. The smallest full grown Hav I have ever met. She thinks she's a cat.

Fred almost 7 yrs old. I should have named him trouble or grump. He is the grumpiest havanese I have ever met. He is like the canine version of Archie Bunker. Just look how mean he looks:). He wouldn't hurt a fly though.

Scudder almost 6 years old. He is the most easy going, mild manner dog. I call him the mayor!

Hi everyone! (better late than never :)

Hi everyone! First let me say thank you to all the wonderful people on the forum for all their wisdom, suggestions and help. I may have joined a couple of years ago and for the most part been silent, but that doesn't mean that I haven't read and enjoyed all the forum has to offer. I've loved learning about these amazing little dogs and picked up some tips and pointers along the way!

I'm LeeAnn. My family and I live in the Boston/MetroWest area of Massachusetts. My husband and I have 3 children, 1 at home and 2 college grads out on their own living and working.
We also have 2 pups. A 12 yr old Bichon named Cubby and Henry our delightful Havanese. Both could not be more loved and adored by all of us. Henry is by far the loving little comedian of our home. He's captured everyone's heart including Cubby's! Henry was born on VALENTINE'S DAY and will be 3 yrs old on Feb 14, 2013!

Here are some pics. Unfortunately Henry had a bad day at the groomer not too long ago. I mistakenly agreed to allow our groomer's new associate to groom Henry…with tearful results. She chopped off so much of Henry's beautiful long silky cinnamon red hair. She even took too much off his face so he doesn't quite look like himself. Our little mopsy haired Henry has turned into an overly coifed Henry…oh well…can't wait for it all to grow back!

Thank you all for the welcome! And yes, dodrop82, Cubby is a male and they are the best of friends. Henry sure has enhanced Cubby's life. We weren't sure about bringing a new dog into our home with, at the time, a 9 yr old Cubby, but it's been great! Cubby is a very quiet laid back couch potato type of bichon so Henry gets him up and playing and he loves it.
It's funny Beau's Mom, I haven't met any other Havanese pups in the almost 3 years we've had Henry (other than his breeder's pups)! Glad to know there are more around :)

thanks for the welcome!
My youngest daughter came up with the name for our bichon. When we brought Cubby home from the breeder's house, she exclaimed that he looked just like a little "polar bear cub, let's name him Cubby" hence the name Cubby!

Oh, the water in that photo is actually the ocean on Cape Cod, on the bay side where its a lot more calm than the Atlantic side. Our pups love going to the cape in the summer...I do too...dreaming about it as we are experiencing pretty low temps here in MA..

Welcome to the three of you. I was from the Metrowest area but have since moved to the Cape and I, too, had, at one point, a Bichon and two Havanese. My Bichon was 12 years old when I got my first Hav, after having lost my Afghan Hound, who was his best friend. A year later I got my second Hav. They were all great friends so I know what you mean.
I don't think Cubby's hair cut looks bad but when you're used to long hair, it can be a shock. Remember, it will grow back. Glad you decided to join us.

Hi, thanks for the welcome! Wow, you had a bichon and 2 Havanese?!? Thats my dream, but my husband is completely content with our 2 pups for now but Im working on him!! We go to the cape all summer, such a beautiful place. The "boys" love it there as they're outside so much more and there's a lot more action there. It's rather quiet here where we live. Im wondering, I dont know what part of the cape you're on but have you found a good groomer especially for havanese?

New here!

Hello everyone!
I'm new here & hoping I've figured out how to post in the correct section!
I have found this forum to be so very helpful as I researched Havanese and since our little guy has joined our family! So, thank you!!!

My name is Beth and Lincoln, our Hav, is such a joy! We brought him home at 10 weeks and now he's 14 weeks! How time flies! He is an amazing puppy...smart, fun, so easy to housebreak and full of love & spirit! He is the first dog I have ever owned...I was very picky about what I wanted and my Hav is the perfect match! We're starting puppy kindergarten soon which should be great - he is so easy to train but I need some guidance with teaching him on the leash. He also is still scared on car rides so we're working on that....

Well, just wanted to finally say hello and so glad there is such great info to be found! Not sure if my pictures attached so we'll see if I can figure it out!
