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!
Thank you so much! I will try various different methods as suggested. I will update on status next week. He's very cute though and for some reasons he always want to jump on me and bite me all over He doesn't bite anyone else in the house when they play with him.
Just introducing myself. I live outside the D.C. area with my husband and our 8 year old daughter. Our scotty of 15 years was just put to sleep a few days ago. I knew I couldn't get another scotty - she was just too special and I didn't want to compare her to another. We've been considering adding a Havanese to the family for about a year, but then held off once our dog got sick. We're on a breeder's waiting list (one that posts on these forums regularly - I've been lurking a long time doing research) and hope to be adding a Havanese to our family in the May or June timeframe.
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I continue to prepare and once we bring him/her home. These forums have been a great source of information for me so far. Looking forward to getting to know everyone more over the coming months
Welcome and keep us posted on the new pup. I assume he/she has not even been born yet. You came to the right place for information and help. Stay in touch. Excited for you and your family.
Hi Lise - thank you for the Scotty comparison. My Scotty was less independent than most, but she was still fine with me going out for several hours or sitting out in the sun for a few hours also. I keep telling my family to get ready for a velcro dog I'm a stay at home mom and am toying with going back to work part time at some point, but I plan on being home full time for the foreseeable future and plan on bringing our new addition everywhere with us. I also want to get him/her involved in therapy dog training and maybe rally. I really just wanted our next dog to be super loving, sweet and gentle, want to sit on my lap or be near me and a constant companion when I'm out and about Based on what I've read, it sounds like the Havanese fits that profile. I do understand they're harder to potty train, so that will take some effort, but I plan on crate training. The breeder we're working with litter box trains them also, which I'm guessing will help a lot.
Velcro they are. Funny how similar we are because I got Ted for Therapy training also. They are def Velcro. Puppyhood, which I haven't done for 12 years, was a shock. Amazing how you forget the nipping and chewing and just trying to figure out what the little guy wants. I also trained Ted with a crate in an expen. He loved his pen and I felt very good leaving him there when we went out. He had room to run around a bit and had his toys and food and was safe.
You sound like you are ready for. Little Hav invasion to me!
Hi, my name is Valerie and live in Georgia. I will be getting a pup from Windyhill Havanese. Hopefully, she will be coming home the first week of March. She was born Dec 19th. She will be 10 weeks old on Feb. 27th. On Feb.9th she weighed only one lb. one oz. As you can tell, she is extremely small. I correspond frequently with the breeder. She assures me Soli(her name) is very feisty but considerably smaller than her litter mates. I have seen her once and of course the breeder sends me numerous videos of her. As the time draws near to bringing her home, I find that I am so impatient to hold her and start our adventure together.
Hi - posting to introduce myself and Archie - we have had him for a little over two weeks and he is adjusting nicely. He is going on 9 months and weighs in at only 7 lbs. 5 ozs.! His breeder said he will probably only be 9 to 10 lbs. tops. Anyway, he is a real sweetie and loves to play fetch. Will try to post a photo when I figure out how...

:whoo:Hi everyone! My name is Pam and my baby's name is Molly. She is 6 months old and she is our first havanese. We had a Golden for years and she passed away right before Thanksgiving. I saw a havanese on Pinterest and fell in love. Molly has been a blessing in our family. Thank you all for the great advice(I have been looking on this site since we got her).
Omg! Love Molly's cute eyebrow's! I just don't know why but, they get me every time! She is such a cutie! I'm really catching the MHS that seems to be going around here on the forum!!
Hi all, I am a long time lurker (trying to soak up the knowledge), and am just getting around to participating more. Luna is our first dog - I always prided myself on being a cat person! She has come from a good breeder, and started off with many good traits. She is now 4 months old and makes my two children very happy. She is a good girl, fitting into our busy lifestyle. It is great having this resource to answer my many questions!
Hello all! I'm a new pet owner and rescued a Havanese mix named Boo. He is a year old (that's what the Vet thinks). I've been toying with dog ownership for quite a few months and had narrowed it to a couple of breeds (Maltese, Coton de Tulear, and Havanese). I found this little guy who was listed as a Maltese Mix but the Vet and I both think he is a Havanese mix. He is 14 lbs. and needs to gain another pound or so. His hair is coarse and think like a Havanese and he has a low growl.
He is a sweet little guy but we're struggling with potty training. He has soft stools and is having accidents in the house. I want to train him to go on the pee pad and outside. I hope that won't be too confusing. I hope to learn a lot on this forum! If anyone has advice on how to fix soft stools, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I introduced myself a while ago, but have not been on the forum for about 4 months so will do it again!
I live in Yorkshire in england, and I have a Labrador, Border terrier and Havanese. I am a member of the Young Kennel Club (not sure if you have one in America!) and I would like to start showing my havanese.
Welcome again, doggiesrule. Your little one is adorable and, I agree, the coloring is outstanding. Good luck with the showing!
