And Now Maxi’s Pups Have Names!

3 Comments

 

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.

Well Marli’s pups are old enough to leave tomorrow. Lucky me, I am holding on to the red sable girl for a while to see if she develops into a nice show puppy. And, the sable Patti boy (now Tiller) will be with me until May 29 when her Mama comes to take her back to Florida!

Here are their photos:

Carneys Driving Miss Daisy Crazy (AKA Daisy) is going to stay with us a while. We’re hoping she’ll turn into a great show prospect! She is full of spunk and loves to tease the other puppies. Daisy weighs 2.5 pounds, a nice average size for a girl.

This is Tiller. He was my first choice for a show prospect but is going to be small…probably too small to be a champion. But he is already a champion in the heart of a young female pilot from Florida. I’ll miss this little guy but hope to see him next winter! He weighs 1.12 pounds.

And this little girl is going to live right around the corner from me in Michigan. Not sure of her name yet but I’ll find out tomorrow when her family picks her up. She weighs 2.3 pounds

Lily’s puppies will be ready to leave May 24. Here are their photos I took this morning.
 Puppy #2, Carneys Rose by Any Other Name (Rose), is also going to stay with me for a while. Then I will have the terrible task of deciding between her and Daisy. Rose weighs2.8 pounds right now.

This is Lily’s puppy #5. He has been wearing a tan collar so I can tell him apart from his other white siblings. This little guy seems to have a little more energy than the others and likes to keep the games going! He weighs 2.7 pounds.

This is Lily’s puppy #3. She is wearing a pink collar and also weighs 2.7 pounds. She has a very sweet disposition, not terribly dominant but not afraid to speak her mind!
This is Puppy #1. She is a little tyke, weighing just 1.12 pounds. She will probably be a small girl and has a very sweet, outgoing disposition. Loves to play and doesn’t let the big boys push her around!

This is Puppy #4, our other boy. He’s been wearing a purple collar. He is also a bit of an energy bunny and loves to tussle with his brother. He weighs 2.4 pounds.
And this is puppy #6 who has been wearing a red collar. She is going to live nearby in Ferndale which makes me very happy. Stephanie and John had a very difficult time picking her out yesterday, All the puppies are quite similar in temperament but she seemed to pick out John! She weighs 2.3 pounds.
