| Havanese Does anyone have or know someone who does have a Havanese dog? Or do you know first hand about them? NO, I am not getting one, but my brother and I were looking them up on the web and and are curious about them. The chocolate ones are SO adorable. |

| Aww, they are so cute! One of my favorite professors has one that he brings to work with him everyday. His name is Winston and he is such a sweetheart! I was going to suggest dogbreedinfo, but since someone already suggested that, try checking the AKC website and look at the standard.

| Before I chose the Yorkie, I was deciding between the Havanese and the Yorkie. I didn't do a whole lot of research on them, because the the yorkie quickly grabbed me |

| I just saw this thread. I just got my havanese 2 months ago. I did extensive research and went to lots of local shows before deciding on a breeder. I went through the pregnancy and delivery and got my girl at 10 weeks of age. The breeders and show people I met were warm and welcoming - very helpful. I will begin showing my girl later this winter under the guidance of my breeder/mentor/friend. They are indeed members of the bichon family and have been recognized by the AKC since the late 90s. They have health problems just like many of the other purebred breeds but the Havanese Club of America is very proactive about dealing with the problems. Any HCA breeder will have the potential parents CERFed for cataracts, BAER tested for hearing. In addition, they will have their hips and patellas rated as well. You can go to the CHIC or OFA websites to verify the health info. They are enchanting little dogs with sweet, exuberant personalities. They are double coated and require lots of brushing and grooming to prevent matting. They are hypo allergenic.They are smart as whips and just wonderful. They aren't big barkers. Obviously, I am in love with my havanese! The HCA website has lots of great info as well. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate asking. Carol |

http://www.havanese.org/ Another nice thing about Havanese is their slightly larger size. They were bred to be children's playmates and are a great choice for a family with younger children. | |

| havanese Sorry to hear about the hav with liver shunt. As I said, the parent club , the HCA is very proactive about health issues and breeding away from them. Because all of the havanese in America pretty much came from 11 original dogs who were brought here in the 60s, it's far more doable - simply because of the size of the gene pool. Have a great day! |
