Havanese Puppies See the World!
Our puppies are 17 days old now and their eyes are pretty much open. No, they cannot focus yet but they can see shadows which has to be exciting. Even more exciting is that their little legs are getting strong enough that they can move about the whelping box very well. Here are some photos … you’ll be amazed how much they’ve grown!

Meet the Parents
With the arrival of our latest litter of Havanese puppies I thought I should post some photos of our next Mom and Dad. They are expecting February 25. Our Marli is the sable and cream and Ruger is all black. We’ll have some wonderful color combinations including black and tan which excites me because we haven’t had that color before.

| Marli seems a little bored but, really, she isn’t at all. Just playing hard to get. |

| Nice shot of the parents. |

| I think Ruger is whispering sweet nothings in Marli’s ear. |
We Have Havanese Puppies!
Our pretty girl, Maxi, whelped nine puppies New Years Eve! I knew things were beginning to happen when she would not leave her whelping box. She started labor about 3 pm that day…a mild restlessness and urge to nest and by 5 pm she started contractions. The first puppy, a boy, arrived at 5:45 PM weighing a whopping 5.3 ounces!
Eight of the puppies are black and white parti. One is mostly white with black on her head and the others have wonderful markings in a variety of patterns. The ninth puppy (a boy) appears to be chocolate. Time will tell as this is a fairly rare color. Maxi carries for chocolate but we aren’t sure if Dino does or not.
I will try to post photos (and ones with better clarity) every few days so stay tuned!
This is Aloha
Aloha is the last puppy to be placed. Actually, she was the first but, sadly, the family had to return her because their little boy evidently has super-sensitive allergies. Even Havanese can cause reactions in some very sensitive people. I feel so bad for the parents because they are going back home with three extremely saddened children. Surely one of the more difficult times for them as parents. I can’t imagine anything much worse.
Anyway, Aloha is a sweet, confident and peppy little girl. She (of course) loves children and responds well to adults as well. She scored very well in our puppy personality assessment and will make an ideal pet for just about anyone.
Here are some photos of Aloha and you can see more earlier on in this blog.
