There is nothing like a puppy.  They define the words "irresistible, tempting, seductive, etc."  But it is a serious commitment for life.

Male vs. Female?

If you have decided on a purebred Havanese as your new puppy, the next decision to make will be Male vs. Female.  In researching this topic, I found a very good article in March 2003 magazine, written by Suzanne McKay, who at the time was the Breadline’s Coordinator of the Havanese Fanciers of Canada Club.  Please see below the last paragraph reproduced.

 

"If your Havanese is to be a family pet or companion dog, it will be spayed or neutered, likely, which eliminates many of the behaviors associated with hormones. Overall, whether altered or not Havanese males may be more loving and easygoing, while females may be more demanding and temperamental.  This is not to say that one makes a better pet than the other, but simply that these are generalities and something to keep in mind when evaluating puppies for a suitable companion, particularly if children are involved.  Of course, individual differences with a litter or among lines may contribute to temperament variations in both sexes. Some people have a personal preference and gravitate toward one sex over the other for assorted reasons.  If you have a preference, discuss this with your breeder.  Havanese are all very sweet but also very individual.  Each is precious and wonderful and deserves the best home possible."

 

If you would like to be considered as a prospective purchaser of one of our puppies, I would first ask you to read the purchase contract and if you are still interested, then answer the questionnaire and email it to me.

 

Thank you
