A recent study offers some further insights. The terminology is a bit scientific but the information, once you wade thru it, is cause for caution!

Note: Porsche has a new home now, in Chicago!
Our sweet puppies from our sports car litter are now 2 1/2 months old! I have made my decision as to who to reserve for show and am now looking for a home for Porsche.
As you can see, he is tri-color…sable brown, black and white. He is extremely outgoing and friendly. Greets everyone he meets with his tail wagging like a windshield wiper! He plays well with our other puppies and adult dogs and is doing great with peeing on a pee pad! He will be great with children and other pets.
Porsche has had two of his DHPP vaccine boosters, is totally dewormed and is registered with AKC. Both his parents have passed all health tests recommended for Havanese and results are posted on the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals website.His sire is a Gold Grand Champion and his dam is a Champion…just a few points shy of Grand Champion!
Send me a note if you’d like to hear more about him.
Sunshine whelped 3 beautiful puppies on February 20. They will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. Time flies when you have puppies! Anyway, we are looking for homes for the two boys, Porsche and Beemer. Puppies are fat and healthy and playing with each other, their mom and their roomates!
This is Beemer. He is a gold sable parti and has amazing eyes. He is also a love bug!
This is little Mercedes. She is currently reserved for the show circuit…assuming she gets to standard.
This is Porche. He loves to sit on my lap. he is a dark sable parti.
Sunshine won’t you come play with me?
Sienna at about 7 weeks.
Sienna’s win in the 4-6 month puppy class. No points…just practice.
Sienna is the puppy I kept from my October 2022 litter. She is still all puppy! She loves to play with her housemates and her toys.
Sienna is almost a year old and still working out the show dog program.
We are attending many classes and our favorite teacher, Linda, is easing Sienna into a show career. For quite some time Sienna was not buying it! She just wanted to play with her buddies at home. Dog shows with lots of racket and bigger dogs gave her the willies!
But guess what? Three weeks ago I entered Sienna in some shows in Windsor, Ontario. She won twice and now is 1/3 of the way to her Canadian championship!!
Then, last weekend Sienna took 2nd place in a group of 4 dogs right here in Monroe Michigan. I am ecstatic! More importantly she was loving it! She ran, she jumped, she turned circles! I was so happy for her….the judge not so much or she would have placed 1st. That’s ok.
Sienna at 11 months and ready for a grown-up show!
What good is any endeavor if you can’t enjoy the journey?
Breeder’s Note: Willow has found the perfect home! She is living with a single career woman whose children are grown…and her 80 something father in Western Michigan. I love this because I will be able to come visit from time to time!
Willow is looking for a forever home. She is just over 1 year old and has been a show girl for a few months but, honestly, she’d rather be a pet. She is just too darn happy! 
One judge, a few months back commented that she did get all four feet on the ground at one point! But most of the time it looks like she’s flying! And she never, ever stops wagging her tail! Problem with that is, the judge can’t see how pretty she is because her tail is in constant motion!
As you can see from the photos, she is mostly black with pretty white markings around her face. She also has white paws and white on the tip of her tail. She has a bubbly personality, loves children and other dogs.
Willow as a puppy with my daughter.
Willow is on the smaller side. She is just over 8 1/2″ at the shoulders and weighs about 10#.
