I recently got my 8 week old bichon-havanese. The mother is a bichon and the father is havanese. So I am under the impression that I have a bichon-havanese. But, today I was speaking with someone at work who indicated that a bichon and havanese are the same breed. So I have a havanese. In the long run it doesn't matter because we all love the little guy. I just would like to give the correct answer when someone asks me what kind of dog he is. Any help in explaining this would be... bichon-havanese? What kind of puppy do I have ..read more

Hi! Introducing our newest addition to our family… sweet little Flora. We are loving her so much! Flora is the name we call her, and we need to decide on her registered name. The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) limits the characters to 35. Our breeder does not require that we include any specific names, so we are free to choose what we like. We want to use Flora in the Registered name as well, but just undecided on how best to expand on it. ☺ If it helps... Would Love Suggestions for “Registered” Name ..read more

Hi Everyone! I’m looking for the following… 1. Your top recommendation for an interactive toy… would like one that is “automated“ or “animated” … but if not, that’s okay! 2. Your top recommendation for a longer lasting bone or chew toy that withstands moderate chewers, while not damaging to gums, teeth or jaw. 3. Your favourite “bungy” style tug toy. Please include photos and/or links to where they can be found, if possible! Wanting to add some new, stimulating and fun toys to my cycle...

Walking into Pet Valu, I have a purpose: Get Prince a toy or two. How hard can it be, right? Much to my surprise and trepidation, I find three giant shelves packed to the brim with different toys. Squeaky toys, and tennis balls, and Kong toys, oh my! I'm so overwhelmed that I don't know what to get. Are stuffies the best for a puppy? What about chewing toys? How much can a dog this little chew through, anyways? What toys would y'all reccomend for an 8-week-old Havanese puppy? There is a... Reccomendations for toys ..read more

Dear members, My husband and I are getting ready to adopt a Havanese puppy in 6-12 months. Our priority is to get a puppy from an ethical and responsible breeder who genuinely cares about the breed and producing healthy pups. I would love if the recommendation came directly from Pam / Tom King as I trust them but would really appreciate if other members can personally vouch for a breeder in or around Tennessee (we’re willing to drive 5-7 hours ..read more

I've looked into some of the suggestions on here, but many are older ones, and some breeders are just too far away. Had a lovely Havanese little boy for several years from Smallhaven in Georgia. He was flown to us, but I would rather not do that again. He was my sweetheart and dearest doggie in the whole world. I never thought I'd get another dog because of the heartbreak of losing him, but I'm starting to feel that a dog is what is missing in my life. I live near Saratoga Springs, NY...

Struggling to find the best gate with a door for a 47” wide space where havanese won’t escape through … many suggest that dogs escape through bars . My havanese has figured out how to push the temp barrier we have away from the wall so I need a permanent solution that still allows my kids to enter and exit the room . Pls advise ..read more

Suzy has been eating Fromm Puppy Gold Kibble as her base food since coming home. I really want to get away from a highly processed kibble so she gets a nutritious and appropriate diet. The number one concern is to have a human grade food. I know that a food manufacturer can be using human grade but not considered human grade unless it’s cooked in a human kitchen. I used the 10 weeks from the time she was born to the time she came home to watch training videos and found Rachel Fusaro, and... Puppy food blues ..read more
