"Barney is still such a treasure. Everyone loves him. He is so sweet, doesn't bark, never destroyed anything (no chewing furniture or shoes) no mistakes/mishaps in the house (from delivery-potty trained). He is the perfect family member and almost human in so may ways." Montgomery, PA

 

  "Zeus and Athena are truly members of our family...We can't watch TV without them on the back of the couch. They shout for joy everytime we come into the house after we've been out...doesn't matter if its 5 minutes or two hours. Zeus bonded well with everyone but seems very tight with my eldest son Ethan. Ethan had his wisdom teeth out 2 years ago. Zeus never left his side while he iced his jaw and recovered on the couch for 3 days."

  "When I read the description of the Havanese breed on the AKC website,I thought "this dog sounds too good to be true". Well, she is too good to be true & then some. The main reason we picked the Havanese is because my son has allergies. He has never had any trouble with Maggie...in fact, even though she always slept in her crate for about the first three years, now most nights you can find her cuddled up beside Grant in his bed."

 

 "Jazz has played a huge role in our lives since my husband had 3 surgeries in one week.  Dave was in the hospital for a total of almost 7 weeks and rehab for over 2 months.  Jazz has become his best friend, visiting him at rehab, and slowly walking by his side when he could only walk a short distance.  Jazz became the light of the rehab and continues to be by Dave's side.  We were starting to show her but that has come to a stop till we can get back to normal.  Her personality is one of a kind, she is a JAZZ.  She loves everyone and I do mean everyone.  All humans including kids are her friends with a kiss for all.  Jazz gives all fuzzy animals a kiss also which includes our 11 year old cat Sparky.  She gets hit in the head (not hard) every time she does  but that doesn't seem to bother her.  She is so loved by all and I really don't know what we would do without her.  Jazz keeps my husband smiling day and night.  I hope you like these pictures which were taken between 10 to 12 months.  Oh, she is the best of travelers ready to go at  a seconds notice.  She is truly  the light in our lives, and Sasha our 12 year old Havanese are best of friends.  Sasha has a new lease on life since Jazz entered our lives.   Jazz's health is excellent as we just got her 1 year checkup.I will say she is quite a tomboy, not sissy one bit." Trinity, FL

   "This is Reggie, my 8 1/2 month old male.  I thought everyone should see this wonderful face.  This is what I see every time I look at him, just this incredible adoring face.  My first Havanese, he is such a joy. When I am home he follows me around, staying right where I am, but plays well by himself with his toys. He's quick to respond at the slightest indication from me, and loves attention, which, I must admit, he gets a lot of. He does well with my 9 year old Persian, just a bit more exuberant than she would prefer, but will often lay down beside her and take a nap. We are in Advanced Puppy Obedience Training class in which he's doing very well. He's very smart and quick to learn.  He's a bit shy around people and other animals, but we are working on socialization, and the classes give him exposure to others he doesn't normally have.  I encourage anyone interested to seriously consider one of these incredible creatures.  I am so glad I did.  you will not be disappointed in dealing with Debbie.  She is incredibly helpful."

 "Gracie is definately a companion puppy. She will be 4 very soon.She loves to be wherever you are. Gracie is a precious joy to this entire family. Everyone who looks at her loves her because she is beautiful".

  

"Lola is the apple of my eye. She is loving, cuddly, fiesty, bright and loyal. Not a day passes that she doesn't make me laugh."

 

"Cachou and I have moved to Switzerland where I started a new job. I already bought a coat for her for the colder days but so far, she seems to like her new home. Cachou graduated from Petsmart puppy training class before we left. It was very useful for both of us".

Zurich, Switzerland 

 

"Our little Ranger is as sweet as they come, a real lover. He is best friends with Buddy, the Lab/Golden Retriever mix and respectfully affectionate with our grand dame Kayla. Friendly with everyone...Very much my constant companion, he rolls on his back with four paws in the air for a tummy rub or just to hang out. We adore him. He's taken to napping on the glass coffee table and under my desk."

 

 

 

 "Coco is a very smart princess and has already learned to ring the bells to go outside. And (knock wood) has not had an accident in the house except for once on her first day here. She sits very nicely when you as her to (and you have a treat). At the moment, she is digging to china in her bed trying to bury a bone. She is so much fun and we all just love her to bits. I never thought I would have loved her so much, but she is just so sweet and lovable. I tell people my dog is made of love and fur! Thanks again for our "cocopuff" (as we tend to call her). We couldn't be happier.

 

 

"Azucar continues to grow and fill our lives with temendous joy. She is still in the terrible twos, but we enjoy her mischievousness." Kendall, FL

 "Rico is about 9" tall and weighs about 12 lbs. Rico is friendly and a little shy around new people. ALWAYS barks at people if he is riding in the car. ALWAYS, ALWAYS barks at the doorbell even if it 's on TV. He sometimes is a little whiney (my husband says it's because I baby him), and he is definitely a Momma's boy. He comes to work with me everyday and for a couple of hours during the day, he has to sleep in my chair while I work. He is great with our boys, who chase him, play tug of war and hide n' seek. They are both desperate for him to sleep with them at night, but that only happens if I'm not at home ( and even then he prefers to sleep on my pillow)." 

 

We ABSOLUTELY could not love Mr Teddy any more than we do! He is the cutest thing in town (literally). We changed his name because he looks like a little Teddy Bear. Everywhere I take him I am stopped and asked about what kind of dog he is. He comes to work with me each day and has wormed his way into the entire staff's hearts. Even our neighbors in the office park stop in to say each day to him...not us! We have 30 -40 people in the door each day. He NEVER barks at any guests, but simply runs out to greet them. He believes that every client comes in just to pet and see him. Obviously they all love him and many have come back to "show him off  to other family members or friends. He loves all other pets and is very curious. My cat (with us 7 years) barely tolerates Teddy however, Teddy just keeps trying to be his friend.He sleeps in a crate next to my bed. I have had dogs all my life, and they were just that...dogs. I cannot imagine life without him...I used to make fun of people who treated their dogs like people  but I cannot explain my connection with this puppy." Chicago, IL

    "I just wanted to let you know that Lulu is doing great!  She's a sweet, affectionate dog and she seems to have settled right in to her new home.  My daughter Olivia was so happy and surprised!  She cried for about 20 minutes when she saw Lulu and has really taken to caring for her.  The picture I am sending is of Olivia (in glasses) and her friend with the puppy."  Tampa, FL

  Just look at my beautiful girl! She's grown so much. Pixie is unbelievably smart and the best dog of my life-none other I've ever had can compare. Everyone is enamored of her when they see her. She is so friendly and happy loves everyone. She is truly special and one in a million. ///
