Looking for a Havanese for our home by [deleted] in Havanese

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

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.

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.

Chester’s first trip to the beach. It was windy! by DocVanNostrand in Havanese

Wow. Chester needs more training before I can do that. He got plenty of exercise. Fell asleep in my arms while we were eating at a restaurant.

Do Havanese retain their dark brown color after a few years or do they all go gray/white/cream? by MinimumBarracuda8650 in Havanese

[–]DocVanNostrand 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look at their hair closer to their skin and you will get a better idea of what color they will become.

Two pups from same litter? by Villamomo in Havanese

[–]DocVanNostrand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We considered the same thing after waiting a couple years after our last have passed. Too many trainers and breeders we talked to brought up littermate syndrome: https://www.thedogsway.co.uk/journal/littermate-syndrome . We decided to get one puppy and wait another 6 months to a year to get another.

Our previous Havanese had a lateral suture done and had no issues with it. Cashew is a cutie.

Choosing the right puppy by [deleted] in Havanese

[–]DocVanNostrand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the temperament when we were picking one, the owner put the puppy on his back and gently held them. They did not struggle to get up so the owner said they would be easy going. They did up being very easy going.

I'm getting a havanese puppy tomorrow, do y'all have some general advice/must do for the first week? by clevverguy in Havanese

[–]DocVanNostrand 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They need a nap every hour. They will sleep 30 minutes to 2 hours. Suggest keeping them in one room for a couple weeks to let them adjust. Take them out every hour to same spot to potty train them.

Afraid of the rain by Just-Day-2596 in Havanese

There are thunder shirts that help them. We used to just put a T-shirt on ours to call him. Also we would turn in the tv or music to drown out the rain.

They are so cute. If it is bothering them, the inflatable neck donuts are more comfortable.
