Not enough numbers. We're currently at 12, plus one rescue. Roxie found a great home with a friend of ours not long ago, so it allowed space for Willow.
Hi Tom:
If you weren't a breeder, what number of Havs do you think is ideal? I think one is good for bonding to humans; now we have two and they play nonstop without a lot of time for the humans in the house. But they are sure fun to watch!! What do you think?
Two absolutely wonderful, marvelous, smart, funny, loving and beautiful girls.
Best thing we ever did...for them and us.

I got Leyla from a breeder and am picking up a rescue this weekend! how old was your rescue baby when you got him/her? how did you introduce them to each other?
Just 1. I would add another in a heartbeat but our 10 year old golden cries and needs to be held when one of our visiting fur friends has an accident. I just don't think she can handle the stress of a puppy at this stage of her life.
Depends on the day (since we watch doggies and have lots of hav visitors) We own 3 havs and have a foster right now to make #4. By Thanksgiving, there will be 8
come on folks make sure to vote. This is scary , right now there are more multiple Hav owners than single. I guess this survey might prove MHS is a real thing. lol
1 sweet (sometimes) Havanese boy. Right now, two would definitely NOT work for me. I can only fly in cabin with one, my apartment is small, don't think my boss would appreciate 2 dogs, etc etc.
We have one and that is enough for me right now. I love puppies but they are lots of work. If I would look at more Havs I would like an adult that is trained and used to a family. LOL Let some one else do the hard work.
Only one now, having lost my Velcro/Super Glue first love, Bailey, last year. , although we were very lucky to have had him around for 15 years. In my heart, though, I still feel owned by two wonderful Havs and always will. I will admit, however, that it's a lot easier handling one, but I miss Bailey every day. I know Tyler does too.
Actually, I just adjusted our signature to show how we feel.
Do you want to know how many I actually have...or how many it feels like I have??! ound: Some days it feels like I have four. Actual number is two. I honestly don't know how those that have more than that do it. With the grooming/baths, training, attention, etc. Still waiting for Finn to mellow out a bit so that the two of them will settle into a calmer relationship. Augie is waiting for that too. Finn just wants to wrestle non-stop, and he is a much more energetic dog than Augie, so I have to keep a close eye on the situation. Two is absolutely my limit. I don't have the energy to give any more dogs the attention they deserve.
One hav - and I can see how they're addicting.... but we also have 8 great danes, so Halle isn't really an only child. Just the only hairy one! When there are fewer danes I'm pretty sure there will be another hav... but I don't know how much bathing/grooming I'm up to, so two may be the limit.
