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!

Hello

Hi,

I've been reading this forum since we got Rosie. We got her from a breeder that has placed 4 other puppies in our neighborhood. We babysat other puppies from this breeder and felt comfortable with her quality of pups even though I didn't ask all the recommended questions posted here. Unfortunately, I didn't read that post until after we had her in our home. Again, I feel pretty confident that she is a reputable breeder because she offered and answered most of the questions you have posted. The answers to the questions I don't know are because I didn't ask them.

Rosie was born on May 19th, and she is a love. She's a great little girl and has found a special place in our family of five. Rosie was the second smallest of her litter. Her dad is a black Hav who weighs 14 lbs. Her mom is a lighter sable, brindle Hav who weighs 12 lbs. Both had the chocolate gene and that is why she is chocolate. Her coloring has lightened up, but her ears and markings are still light brown. She has very light, golden, amber eyes. They don't photograph well and they appear see-through in certain lights.

.

Here she is at 3 months -

Hi, My name is Colleen but my nickname is Gertchie and my little one is Ozzie. I have been a member for almost a year so maybe its about time I introduce myself? Ozzie lives with my husband and me in the beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon. Growing up I had many dogs but when I moved into an apt in my 20's that didn't allow dogs I got a cockatiel. Little did I know that little guy would live to be 24! I didn't want to take any attention away from him so I didn't get a dog until after he passed away in May, 2011. Boy, a lot has changed from owning a dog in the 70's & 80's and being owned by one now! I am so thankful for all the friendly and knowledgable Hav owners on this forum, the things I have learned here are invaluable! Welcome to all the new members....you will love it here :) Here are a couple of shots of my funny little man, I love him more that I can say!

Introducing Tino (sounds like Vino)

We are the proud parents of a 13wk sable boy named Tino. He is the sweetest sweetheart ever! He is already asking to be let out for potty which I think is genius. Separation anxiety is his only issue: he doesn't like to be left alone, even if I'm in the next room. I'm actively working on crate training (he sleeps all night in his crate without crying, and has since the first night, which I also think is genius). During the day, however, he pitches a fit. I'm working hard at crate training during the day and will eventually start leaving the room for a few minutes and increasing the time. Everyone here at Havanese Forum assures me that he will improve. It is so nice to have this forum available--I appreciate everyone's experience, wisdom, support, encouragement, and advice.

Tino is our second Havanese. He is the gr gr gr gr nephew of our first Havanese, Buster, who passed on 1/4/12 (he is the black and white in the last picture below).

Thank you so much for welcoming me into this community!

Hi Everyone - Apologies for lurking up until this point. I've been learning so much reading the forum while waiting for my puppy to become a reality. She's finally here and I excited to introduce us :)



Here's Julie! She's 4 weeks old and will come home just before New Years. I will be a first time Havanese mom and I'm very excited to be sharing my love and life with her. It's so reassuring to know that you are here to support us in the days ahead.

Welcome Deborah and Julie. She's a sweetie. I'm an old time Havanese Mom, having been owned by the breed for 15+ years. Even I have learned things from the forum as lots has changed from my puppy days. The only thing that hasn't, is the fact that it's a great breed, lots of fun and a great companion, i.e. Velcro dog. Enjoy your new little one when she arrives. What a great holiday season for you.

Don't know how I missed all of this...but welcome to the forum. I have not been a member that long, but have learned so much about the wonderful Havanese breed.

The most important is to post a lot of pictures....we love pictures....of all your beautiful new puppies.

Enjoy them, they are the best!

Hello!
My name is Esther and our family added a Havanese named Bandit last week. His name definitely fits his look and personality! We are having lots of fun with him but I can tell he is going to a mommy's dog. :)
We have five children ages 19, 17, almost 9, 7, and 2. I am a stay at home mom and homeschool our youngest kiddos.
This forum has been a wealth of knowledge for me! I enjoy reading all of the information and looking at everyones pictures. Here is a picture of our little Bandit. This was taken a week ago when we first brought him home and he has grown so much already since this was taken.

Well I only just seen this forum thread today. I have been posting but thought I would do an official introduction.

My name is Tianna and I live in Sydney Australia. My husband Steve is a police officer and I work in Industrial Relations. We have been married nearly a year and have been thinking about getting a dog since we moved in together three years ago.

I have never owned a dog before when I thought the cotton de tulears were just gorgeous only they sent bread in Australia we soon found the Havanese breed which we hadn't heard of before but as soon as we seen Doug we were won over. Doug is 16 weeks and is so much fun and doing great with training. Ill try and include some photos but not sure if it will work from my iPhone. Otherwise ill add some later from my laptop.
