Already nostalgiac
Okay, only three puppies have left and already I got tears in my eyes looking at this video I took when they were less than two weeks old. Thought you’d enjoy it too!
Wonder if anyone can tell who’s who?
Just a quick announcement that Phoebe’s pups assessments are up on my website. It has been very busy with two families picking up pups today and one tomorrow so I will try to get some more posts after the holiday.
You can see the personality profiles of Phoebe’s pups at: https://www.carneyshaven.com/CarneysKennel/Puppy_Blog!/Puppy_Blog!.html
It certainly is entertaining to watch the puppies entertaining themselves! They love being outside.

More play with mom. |
Maxi got a real kick out of jumping over the pups. She went back and forth at least a dozen times. |
Since many of you will be getting your puppies soon, these are some of the things I use to keep my babies nicely groomed. You certainly don’t need every one. Just wanted to show you what’s out there that works for a Havanese coat. In a day or so I will post some photos of puppy cuts on Havanese that I like. Some groomers haven’t a clue and your Havanese may wind up looking like a drowned rat!

For my puppies I use “Fresh ‘n’ Clean Tearless formula. For shampoo on my adult dogs I have, at the advice of my Florida handler Ginger Raber, been using Tresemme’ Naturals…shampoo and conditioner. As a spray on detangler after rinsing out the conditioner I use Ice on Ice (that I do not rinse out). I buy it online in the concentrate that I mix into a spray bottle. Then, if your puppy tends to get tear stains you can use Four Paws Crystal Eye or Petco’s Tear Stain Remover. I put a small amount on a cotton ball to rub into the stain then rinse with water. |
Nail trimmers. An infant’s nail scissors on the left which is perfect for little puppies. Then I graduate to the adult human trimmer on the bottom because I can see what I’m trimming. Finally, when their nails get full-size you’ll want a dog nail-trimmer. There are some nice ergonomic ones out there now. |
Pin brushes are great for stimulating the skin and brushing out the top coat. |
This is a new slicker brush I bought because of the curved head. Should make it easier on the dogs. |
I posted this because these are on sale this week at Meijers. Two for one. Perfect size for our Havanese with a squeaker tail which they love. |
One of the first persons we encountered could not get enough of Jefferson. |
“I want to take him home!” |
And then she met Georgie. |
Puppy kisses. |
Jefferson climbing into her purse! |
Jefferson and Sparky were a hit with this woman as well. |
Jefferson meeting another dog. |
Georgie is not so sure about this Golden |
But he got his bravery on. |
Then there were more dogs. |
And even more. |
Someone taking Sparky’s picture. Note the two dogs in the foreground. |
Sparky learning to negotiate a curb. That’s my daughter Jenny encouraging him. |
And…he made it! |
Here he is getting lots of praise for his bravery. |
