I know several of us have chocolate havs on the forum. Thought I'd start a thread so we can post pics and see the differences in our chocolates. Let's see who I remember....Kimberly's got Mousse, there's Cocotini, Dusty, Scooter, and Paige's pup...Nigel?? Who am I missing? Show me your chocolate!! Can you guys tell I've been trying to diet and haven't had chocolate in a freaking month??

I'll start if off with Cricket and her big chocolate nose!

Hey Kim- great idea!! I was thinking it's been awhile since we had a chocolate thread and with Valentine's Day coming- it's perfect timing!
Here's Cocotini- her coloring has not changed much. She may be a little darker chocolate with less red highlights.

I love chocolates too

Our Paco is a chocolate. He started out dark brown with tan paws and some tan in his face. But at a year old, he is mainly tan and silver with lots of dark brown points. I fear we will not recognize him after his next haircut. I can't choose what is cuter in a chocolate - the brown button nose or the light eyes full of expression.

Here he is two weeks ago on his first birthday:

I had a few minutes to hunt down some photos of Dusty over time. Except for the two puppy pictures, they are in order. In the puppy shots, she's the one on the right. The next one is Dusty at seven months when we got her, at one year, and at two years. She'll be three in march. Over the last several months, much of her head has turned a shade of gold, she is caramel behind her ears, and her tail has quite a bit of gold also. Her ears are still very dark at the tips. She's been several flavors of chocolate already!

Unavoidable fact

Michelle,

Finnegan is adorable. I can imagine his eyes just by looking at Paco. I must say, however, chocolate sables lighten. They make the cutest puppies, and in my humble opinion, the cutest adults. Fortunately, they keep their amber eyes and adorable brown noses. Paco's eyes still stop people on the street, but they never mentioned his hair color, when he was a puppy or now. In any case, as you probably know, you cannot expect the hair color on a sable to last (whether they are chocolate or standard black pigment). Here is Paco at 9 weeks when we brought him home. Compare to the photo I posted earlier of him at a year old. While I am pleased that the adult coat on his back is growing in a somewhat unusual shade...a deep tan rather than cream, I don't even know if that will last!! Regardless, every havanese is, by the nature of the breed, adorable, and by the time one of our own sables changes color, the bond is too strong to make it matter in the least. In our case, we'd love Paco just as much with dark brown eyes, a black nose and a white coat!!!!

Harvey, Paco so soooo sweet (no chocolate pun intended :pound:)!!! And that Luke is a show stopper too! I expect that Finnegan will lighten, and you are right, it will not matter in the least. I do however love the sable coloring while it lasts!

Kim - this was a great valentine post!!!!

I love seeing the color changes that so many have gone through. They all have kept their cute little brown noses- I know I've heard of some dilutes that lose their brown pigment,too.
The eyes are so interesting. Cocotini has brown eyes,but they have some flecks of green that make them so beautiful. I've never been able to capture them with a camera. Keep the pictures coming!!!! I never get tired of chocolate!!

ME LOVE chocolate!!!!! Oh, how I love a Choc. Hav, and the variations seen here are just beautiful. Paco's coat seems quite unique. I really love the silver and dk. brown tips he has!

Dusty has always been beautiful in my eyes and I really love her lashes. Cocotini, you are stunning, girl! How much does she weigh, Jocelyne? She seems petite and I was wondering.

Wow, look at the eyes on Bailey! I can see why that would stop people on the street. I love them! Finnegan is so darn cute. He always makes me think of a naughty, little boy, full of spunk but one who loves with all his heart. :)

Rory, has a choc. girl that is very pretty. I've been enjoying all her daily pics in the Jan. Challenge thread.

If I could, I'd love a Choc. or Red Hav one day. sigh............

You made me eat them!!! Chocolate is mention over and over it made me go eat half, BIG bag of M & M's!! They were sooooooooo good I couldn't stop eating until I made myself half sick! YOUR FAULT!

Bailey is a year old. each puppy, adult pictures are adorable. Marj somed up eveything I was thinking. All Hav owners are so lucky to find this breed....I love them all!

One thing I noticed is the redness/coloring around some of the eyes a choc trait or Hav? Simba doesn't have it but Bailey does..

Everyone's photos are beautiful! Someday I WILL have a Chocolate Hav!!!

I may have to wait awhile for her since I have 3 dogs and a cat (and 3 birds). I'm afraid 4 might send me over the edge in terms of crazy dog lady status with my friends, neighbors, and certain family members. I just tell them that this is what happens when you can't have kids!
