The Force Awakens! Photos of Lily’s litter

1 Comment

As you know by now, Lily’s pups are two days younger than Maxi’s. They are larger on average but only because they had more room in Lily’s womb. Things will even out eventually.

Pups also got pedicures and lots of kisses. Puppy breath is the best. The boys are still wearing their collars so I can tell them apart!

Photos aren’t the greatest, I know. But just wait until the pups are a little bigger.

Puppy #1 is Han. He’s been wearing the purple collar and weighs 1#, 3.5 oz.
Puppy girl #2, Rey weighs 1#, .5 oz. and is actually a little on the beige side.
Puppy #3 is Poe. He has been wearing the green collar and weighs 1#, 2.3 oz.
Puppy #4, Leia now weighs 1#, 1.4 oz. She is the paler of the two girls
Last but certainly not least is Puppy #5, wearing the blue collar and named Luke. Luke weighs 1#, 3 oz.

And Now Maxi’s Pups Have Names!

Introducing our Blues Legends Litter  (Potter and Maxi’s Pups) with names, weights and new photos.

All are doing quite well. I spent time with each puppy handling their paws and ears and rubbing their bellies. They also had their first nail trim. Lots of stretching and yawning going on and they are moving around like a herd of little guinea pigs!

This is when the fun begins.

We had a terrific storm here in southwest Florida last night but they never seemed to notice.

Do Havanese Like Children? A Video

Leave a Comment

You betcha!!!

It is alsmost as if a child is another puppy, these Havanese are so smitten. And gentle.

Now, as young puppies…under one year…like all puppies, Havanese are exuberant. And in this state, their sharp little teeth might find the wrong “toy.” For that reason always, always supervise your puppy/toddler play. Once a puppy reaches a year, it will be different…for the puppy that is. Still, toddlers can also display inappropriate play (pulling an ear or a tail or a fistful of fur) and must be supervised until 5 years old or so.

And…A Video of Lily’s Pups at 2 weeks old!

Such beautiful puppies! Can’t wait to get them out and about. At Two weeks old these puppies are just beginning to explore their world beyond their mother. They are aware of other puppies in the whelping box. They make wonderful little sounds. Since they are still in my bedroom, these are sounds I go to sleep with each night. It is heavenly!

Will work in individual photos in a few days.

Sometimes Things Just Don’t Work Out

I’m sorry to say that I have two very sad families who took each of the boys from Lily’s litter.

Though Havanese are hypo-allergenic there are some super sensitive people who cannot even tolerate them and this is the reason Puppy #5 (now Hooch) had to come back to me. He is a very sweet little boy, has had two of his puppy shots and is anxious to settle in with his new family. He is ten weeks old.

 The other boy went to an elderly couple who have decided a young puppy is just too much for them. They, too, are crushed. But I could hear the stress in their voices and recommended they let the puppy go. Slightly smaller but equally charming, the puppy’s name is now Benji and his photo is below.

If you are interested in meeting either of these puppies please send me a note.
