I certainly hear you! I’m 70 and haven’t had a puppy in over 10 years. My Solas is 12 weeks. I’m so pleased with him. He’s my first Havanese. I’ve had a “Pugeranian “ for 12 years. 9 of which he has been my Service Dog. We did a ton of research when we knew he would be retiring in the next couple of years and decided a Havanese would best fill the bill. So far Solas has been a doll. Very respectful of Keegan (who I was afraid might be a crabby old man and has turned out not to be at all) and watching Keegan an I like a hawk for cues. He’s the sweetest boy. Can’t wait for him to have all of his shots so that we can all be really out in the world. So far he’s out and about as much as possible in his carrier and takes a solemn interest in all of the goings on. Best of luck with Lily!
Lily
This is our Lily. She is now 8 months. She has been a real wild child. We are new to Havanese. We had a very laid back female schnauzer forever. I got Lily because I fell in love with a very sweet male havanese I saw out shopping over a month or so. I missed our girl so much, and this little male seemed so sweet, affectionate, and friendly. I had done no real research I just went with my heart.
At 68, having a new puppy after 15 years has been a roller coaster ride.
we are making it ( most days) after a trainer, two completed puppy classes ( working on our third, endless research on the breed, a million hours on potty training, and a patient husband when I’m losing my mind.
Puppies are not for the faint hearted. And all of them, regardless of breed, have their own personalities.
Our Lily has been challenging, but so smart and funny. She loves dayplay with other dogs, enjoys being petted and complimented when we go shopping, and loves our yard. She has chased squirrels through the woods, followed a bird dog on an adventure through the woods, run down a quiet road to find me, and shredded all the pine cones she encounters. She is never, ever boring!
