Sugar and Poppy are my first Havanese. I had Keeshonds for 30 years and was looking to get a smaller dog to add to the family when my last Keeshond passed. So....there was a breeder in the area rehoming her older dogs and I ended up with two! They've been with me for three weeks now and have settled in nicely. Sugar is a little large for the breed (19 lbs) and is 5 years old. Poppy is almost 7 and only 11 lbs. They are getting along nicely with my cats. They need to learn commands and how to walk on a leash but are VERY affectionate and so far we haven't had any issues -- other than Poppy being an escape artist.
