This is me when I was almost 2 months old. Look how long my coat was getting. |
There is a lot to know about any breed before you bring that cute little puppy into your home.
A responsible pet parent will do research about the breed they want. If you are planning to rescue a dog, do some research about the breed you are getting. Not all dogs personalities are alike, just like humans are not all alike. I have some Havanese 101 over here to help you as well.
There are some personality traits about a Havanese which are important for you to know before you bring a Havanese home so you both can be happy and thrive. One thing I can promise is you will get a lot of love and attention from your Havanese.
I love toys and have a toy box full of them. So give your Havanese lots of things to play with |

I love how the havanese looks. My neighbor has three and they are not nice. I wondered if it's just them, and apparently it is an aberation. Maybe it is how they were raised. Cute but suspicious and stand off ish. Yours is awesome. The pic of his little foot, oy!! Maybe I should check out more havanese to see if we're a good fit for next puppyness.

ReplyDeleteoh I surprised to hear they are not nice because Havanese are very loving dogs and love to love on you. Read some more on my Havanese 101 if you have not already. Thanks for stopping by!
