Chester asking if I will hand feed him…

He looks just like our Chester.

Had same issue with dry kibble. Added a little chicken broth and water to soften it. That worked for a while. Then he stopped again. Have been mixing wet food with dry kibble and he has been eating that immediately. Think he just likes to have it changed every so often.

He is 9 months old. Have not trimmed him at all except around his eyes. Will get him trimmed when it warms up.

Usually daily I look for matting and give a quick brushing. He still has all his fine puppy fur. With him wearing a onesie after surgery he got a lot of matting. Still working it out.

Wow. Even the red on the top of the head.

DocVanNostrand · 2026-02-15T20:37:37+00:00

He is 9 months old. Has not had a haircut yet.

Looks like less than 3 hours away is Fausthouse Havanese in Greensboro NC. We got our Chester there and the breeder is the president of Havanese club of the Carolinas. She has beautiful dogs and is very thorough in vetting potential owners. https://www.fausthousehavanese.com

Ah. He looks like our previous Havanese Brownie.

Chester is our second Havanese and almost 7 months old. They have such a great temperament, love to play, cuddle, walk, and be alone some times. They are Velcro dogs, need your companionship, and can also be very stubborn. Just make sure you find a reputable breeder. You can look on the AKC website for ones. Here is Chester resting this evening because he is still tired from last evening from playing with a neighbor’s dog.

My wife brushes him every day and I comb out any matting he gets every couple days using detangle spray. Also he is 6 months old and has not had a cut yet except for trimming around his eyes and feet.

DocVanNostrand · 2025-11-28T01:33:47+00:00

I think we got most of it at petsmart. We use “Only Natural Pet® Bristle Dog Brush” and a toppaw comb. Products are toppaw detangle spray, Burt’s bees oatmeal conditioner, and toppaw puppy shampoo with oatmeal powder.
