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!

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.
