Yeah, she lost all the coloring on her face. I forgot how much she changed until i dug up that picture of her!

Very Pretty Girl. I love the Havies-color changes are so much fun. Since mine is older there is not the color change we see in young ones. If anything Paige is getting a little grayer on the top part of her head.

I have an all-white Havanese... he was all-white as a puppy and never changed (white dogs rarely do).

My understanding is that if you get an all white Havanese puppy, they will stay white. If you get a sable they will MOST LIKELY end up mostly white. Any other color... all best are off until they are several years old!

We have one member who hasn't posted in a while, but she has a dog named Cicero. As an adult, he looks like a solid silver dog with white trim. She showed us a photo of him as a baby, and he was a black and white parti! But his black parts silvered, and he got so many Belton stripes in his white, that it all blended together to make him look silver. (and gorgeous, BTW)

Gucci has the blonde ears but it isn't as noticeable on her in the pictures as it is in person, honestly, I' wouldn't mind if they were all white because the blonde tends to matt worse than the white (or where the white and tan meet, I guess is prone to mats) She also has a blonde streak on her tail.
I don't think it is standard, I"m sure there are some w/o the color variances

What I do love about having a light colored dog is that I can always see dirt, poop and other things that one might miss on a darker dog. Its easy to catch fleas early,too, so a benefit there for sure.

Nina 7-8 months, is more creme but instead of going lighter she is turning more tan/creme. I wonder if it will change again to lighter.
