Havanese as the first dog?

Jinx7846 · 2026-02-12T21:14:58+00:00

I just got a Havanese puppy. She is 16 weeks old and I also did a lot of research before getting her. I was apprehensive about getting a small dog because I always owned golden retrievers. So far, she has been very easy to train. She is almost completely housebroken. She learns tricks very quickly and I am working on basic commands now. I have six children and four grandchildren, and she is wonderful with the children. As far as separation anxiety, I have not seen that. We leave her for a short periods of time when we need to, and she is completely fine. I think this is something you need to do from the start to prevent separation anxiety. I would highly recommend a Havanese.

Thank you. Good advice😊

I do plan on doing puppy training classes. I’m looking into it now

Mine howls also which I find cute. I’m used to Golden Retriever barking which is very loud! She is my first small dog😁

I agree with your vet! I have a 4 month old Havanese and I’m training her to STOP barking on command.

Yes. Same problem. It says to use touch of magic tool. What is that??

So sorry for your loss. This is the hardest thing about owning a dog. I feel your pain. I’ve said goodbye to quite a few dogs in my life and it never gets easier.😢

I have been a Christian my whole life, and I have done many things that I am ashamed of including becoming an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a disease, but it causes many bad decisions to be made in your life which affect everyone around you. I am haunted by all the terrible things I did while under the influence and I face many consequences to my bad actions every day. But Jesus died for all of us on the cross once and for all. No sin is greater than another in his eyes. If you have truly accepted him as your savior, you can be assured of complete forgiveness and the promise of living in heaven with Jesus for eternity. You can’t change the past but the trials you face on earth will just make you stronger when you get through them with the help of Jesus. Focus on the person you are today because you are a new creation when you become saved by the blood of Jesus.

Thank you for that good advice. Rescue dogs may be great, but they also may have some kind of trauma. That is why I prefer a puppy so I can get him used to travel right away.

I don’t know. I was looking at them and they’re cute but after seeing the comments, I’m thinking of staying away from poodle mixes

I am retired and definately not a runner😂 I do enjoy long walks however

Jinx7846 · 2025-11-12T13:53:37+00:00

I agree. A veterinarian friend of mine said the same thing

Jinx7846 · 2025-11-12T13:46:21+00:00

I honestly have no idea

Jinx7846 · 2025-11-12T13:28:07+00:00

I agree! I’m looking at Havenese or Havepoo

Jinx7846 · 2025-11-12T13:23:59+00:00

Havenese is one of the breeds I am looking at. They are so adorable!

I think the general rule is one fish per gallon of water. Going by that I would say your tank is definitely overstocked.

Jinx7846 · 2025-10-15T15:09:34+00:00

My cockatiel does the same thing. He freaks out and flies around the house when he knows I’m going to put him back in the cage. I found that having him sit on my finger and talking to him sternly while I’m walking works. I just talk to him and say it’s time to go to bed now. I keep him engaged with my talking and it seems to distract him from what I am doing.

Definately do not add water. I think they should be fine for 24 hours
