Havanese

She likes to lay down on the sofa back like a cat.

We adopted SnoopDogg after his Mom died unexpectedly last summer. he was friendly at first but a still upset over her, and leaving his home of the last 2-3 years. he quickly adapted to a routine of daily walks and is very good about communicating with me when he needs to go out, when he's hungry or wants some affection. he regularly puts his paw up to my face and leans his head against my chest. Love the SnoopDogg.

Bentley is a lovable, obedient companion who loves to cuddle on the sofa and in corner spaces. Bentley was easy to housebreak and taught himself to ”curb.” He is very attached to me, but understands that when I go out for any amount of time, I will be returning. He loves to snack. He’s a barker and flexes his muscle at all dogs except his own breed. Bentley doesn't mind being groomed, but very anxious at the vet’s. He’s my best friend and he knows it.

best dog ever <3 he is super friendly but he also guards the house perfect dog for first time owners

Scout started out as a friendly, playful puppy. She seems to have developed anxiety issues and becomes very agitated around other dogs and people. Eventually she calms down. She also likes to eat her poop which has been a real problem. We also have a Malshi named Blue. They are good friends and provide each other playful chase games etc. Scout doesn’t seem to fit the description of most Havenese dogs. We are a bit disappointed but love her just the same.

Finlay is amazing. She’s from a puppy farm in New Jersey. Up until June 2018, when we got her, she’d only ever been in a crate. So we’re having some trouble with potty training. But, she’s super sweet. She has a lot of anxiety, probably from past abuse, but I have anxiety, too. Whenever I’m panicking she’s always right by my side, trying to protect me from anyone reaching out to me. I’m gradually teaching her a few tricks and I’m gradually teaching her how to cuddle. She doesn’t bark much, unless she hears the door opening or ringing or knocking. She does this funny thing where she’ll move her back legs. If you scratch her on the left of her butt/back area, she will move her back legs and only her back legs to the left. And same with the right. She’s just all around amazing, though she has her moments. But if I’m in bed, she won’t get out of bed voluntarily. She can be stubborn, but it’s okay, because so can I. She was meant to help me with my anxiety and depression and I’d say she’s doing a great job. When I got her, I actually started crying, holding her. We had to drive way out of town to pick her up from my mom’s friend, and honestly until she was in her crate in the backseat with me alone, it really didn’t register in my mind that it was happening. My last dog, had serious medical issues that my family just couldn’t afford. He had to be put down. My dad hates pets and my mom didn’t want to put another dog through that again. But then my mom and dad separated, and she surprised me asking me about her because of some tough stuff I was going through. I didn’t believe it could be true, but the night I got her I cried and cried. As a 16 year old, I will admit it can be frustrating when you’re mad, to have a dog following your every footstep. Like they’re you’re Shadow. But, it also is kind of cheerful because I know she’s always with me and she depends on me. She may also be attached to my mom, but she’s mainly my responsibility and she seems to know that. If I’m doing chores like cleaning out the litter boxes, she’ll be sitting on a chair in the corner watching me. It’s amazing knowing Finlay may be more terrified of something, yet she’ll still protect me because I’m scared and she loves me.

Hailey is a very lovable dog, she can be easily trained. She knows how to sit, stay, roll over, and play dead (still learning more tricks at her age). She loves walk time, she gets super excited when you ask he "do you wanna walk?". She is super clingy, she hates being left alone, she barks a lot on other dogs. But overall she is super energetic and happy dog.

We love our Havs. they are great companions and go everywhere with us,usually without a leash. They are easily trained and understand their relative level of safety. Highly recommend them as a family member.

Vivianna' is my second Havanese. Haylie Havanna was my first Havanese. Haylie recently passed away at the tender age of (19) nineteen years old. She was the oldest that we know of in her breed. I enjoyed the breed very much. There was not a second of the day that Haylie was not with me. She had a wonderful, happy, healthy life and is missed greatly. Vivianna' is a very very spoiled princess we enjoy shopping, yachting, working out or going to NFL football games together. She is always in my purse and she loves it and I love it even more...

I like to sit and talk to her

Loving, well behaved, easy to train, extremely playful, eager to please, highly social with humans and dogs. Best dog I’ve ever owned.

Fun, loving, very smart

This is my second havanese. They are super friendly and just want to be with you all the time. They both love to show off their tricks whether it be jumping through a hula hoop, rolling over or climbing on balance beams. They need lots of attention when it comes to grooming but it's well worth it for the love and joy this little companion will bring.

She love to run and chase the birds

Bentley makes my days so much better. He is a great listener and he loves people. He rarely ever shows signs of aggression and he loves to cuddle. One thing these websites won't tell you is that these dogs have a big appetite. If you keep feeding, they keep eating so its easy for them to get overweight.this breed of dog is perfect

Absolutely the best dog ever. Extremely intelligent, eager to please. Has a nose that's amazing. He sniffs out his treats and we play hide and seek with them. He never fails to find them. Loves taking me for our daily walk. He walks at a quick pace and regularly looks back for me telling me to come on... he's brought such joy to our household. Gets very vocal when he wants to go out to potty.

She is a very sweet girl. Loves everyone and our cats. By our side, always. Sad thing is at 4 years she became sick. Ends up she developed an autoimune problem. Had encephilitis and menengitis. Had to be on a chemo drug and prendisone for 6 months. She is in remission now at 2 years. But, the prendisone caused Diabeties. Now she gets 2 shots a day. And then, diabetis caused cateracts and as of 3 weeks ago she is totally blind. She is going for eye tests to see if her retnias are not the problem. If not, she will get cateract surgery. And before ALL of this her knees went bad and teeth needed pulled. I never thought a dog so young, could have so many problems. So at 12,000 in Vet bills we are facing another 3,0000 if her eyes get done. Never in my life would I think this could happen to one dog. Would I ever get this breed of dog again ? I think NOT.

Lola is an absolute delight ! She has won the hearts of diehard big dog owners with her love for adventures. She's alone all day while I'm at work and does just fine. She has 2 cats that she's best friends with, and they play together with great enthusiasm... total hooligans ! I cannot say enough good things about the breed and highly recommend the breed to anyone

Shes good and loves to be by my side

I have walked this breed on multiple occasions. These dogs are always a happy go luck dog, with a great attitude. They are small and have a lot of hair. If well-groomed the hair is not an issue, but if not it can cause messy bowel movements. Always try to have some wipes when I walk this breed, just in case. They love to walk and are very submissive to your pace and route. They are curious and all the dogs I have walked have been male, so they do love to mark as you go. Even when marking their desire to be with you and their size make it so easy to redirect them that even the marking does not take away from the walk. They are a great dog to walk and are easy to train. Ask the owner if they have been trained to be on one side or the other. I have many that will only walk on the left, and the owners state they trained the dog themselves to do this. Easy walker.

Every Havanese I’ve ever met has been so friendly and caring! This 10 month old pupper was no exception. She loved to play! We practically spent 10 minutes in the apartment playing before heading out on the walk. Throughout the walk she loved to sniff all the smells of the city, and was so excited to be outside she ran to the next spot. Havanese usually have lots of energy, but also like to relax and cuddle on the couch. I believe Havanese are a great family breed because of this; they are very loyal to family, love to play with kids, and will relax with mom and dad on the couch. The Havanese are a very fun breed, and with little upkeep they are an amazing addition to any family!

He was a bit stubborn and timid. He barked white a bit when we first met, but once outside was excited to explore. Really easy to wall, just wanted to sniff around.

They are definitely lap dogs. The ones I have experience with are very sweet but do have lots of energy and love jumping around. They get very excited to be outside and can sometimes be loud and bark a lot. They are mostly sweet and love their owners.

The dogs I've walked have all been very affectionate. They love attention. They would rather cuddle than walk outside for a long time.

The one I walked was a havanese mix. Oh my goodness his energy was incredible. He was only 2 so as you can imagine everything excited him! It was so cute, when we were on the walk sometimes he would jump and walk to on two legs trying to run, so we would do wind sprints to help get some of his energy out. He was also a little jumper when putting on his leash so I had to get down and pet him to distract him. What a sweet dog though, so happy, so excited about life, loved to jump and play. What a great dog whose energy is contagious. He also tried to eat stuff along the way, so had to keep an eye out. Lovely dog!

He was the most friendliest, most sweetest dog ever! He did not cause any trouble during his boarding. On the contrary, he was super cuddly and he always listened to anything that was told to him; like “sit, don’t!, or yes and no.” He loved to go on walks and he never had any accidents occur in my home. He did super well during car drives. I sat in the backseat with him and laid out a blanket for him to lay on, but he preferred to snuggle against my arms instead. Super cute! He ate at least twice a day and did of course enjoy his occasional snacks. He did not really stare when I was eating my own food, which is a bonus. Overall, one of the most wonderful pups I have boarded.

Havanese are wonderful and so obedient! I absolutely have adored all of the Havanese I have walked. In general they have been friendly with other dogs, sweet to me, and well behaved. They have all "sat" on command and known other tricks as well. Their coat is long and requires grooming but is hypoallergenic!

The Havanese bread is an extremely friendly and welcoming dog. This dog had a high stamina and was able to keep up at a fast pass for over thirty minutes. This dog was intelligent. It knew multiple commands. This dog also seeks lots of attention.

Very fun and cuddly lap dog. Super cute and always was super excited to see me. Loved to go on walks and just happy to have someone to hang out and play with. Pretty good walker too. Kept a nice pace and didn't pull.

The Havanese that I have walked have been such happy and high energy dogs. They are so loving and excited when I get there for the walk. They like to stay at a quick speed and are very friendly with other dogs and people. They do like to run if you are willing to do so and the owner is okay with it, as they have alot of energy for a smaller sized dog.

The Havanese is a toy dog.[1] It is smart and can be easily trained. It is best to train this dog at a young age, because some habits will stick as they become older. However, training these dogs while they are older is still possible. Like many toy breeds, the Havanese can be difficult to housebreak. However, Havanese can be trained to use a litter box, which can greatly reduce issues with housebreaking. This breed is very smart and can be house trained faster than most toy dogs. The Havanese get very attached and are very loyal to their owners, and often attach to one person which they will closely follow. As a result, the Havanese does not do well in a household where it will be left alone all day. Although the Havanese is an active and lively dog, they are small enough that many of their exercise needs can be met in a house or yard, and therefore they do not require as much vigorous exercise as other breeds may. However, exercise is still necessary for this breed to be happy and healthy.[1]

She was sweet. It liked walking but only for a certain amount of time. SHe defintely was a home body!

Awesome, they are the best dogs ever
