2oddly focused  Aug 17, 2008
The odd focus of the authors makes this the least useful of the books I have on Havanese. The authors are somewhat obsessed with their point of view on health and the Havanese, and while I fully support breeding for health, their conclusions lack credible proof.

On the other hand, their are some useful bits in the book, so I can't say it is a total waste. As the number of books on this breed is limited, I suppose this book is worth reading.

One book I heartily recommend though is The Joyous Havanese, as I find it both more thoughtful and entertaining and repeatedly useful.The Joyous Havanese

5Great book about a Great dog breed  May 25, 2008
This book is full of interesting and useful information about a wonderful breed of dog. The Havanese is definitely a breed apart and this book covers all of the points needed by an owner, or new owner, of this breed. The author gives excellent information on the temperment and quirks of this little ball of fluff. She also goes into a great deal on the health issues that can affect the Havanese. I would definitely reccomend this book to anyone interested in becoming the mommy or daddy of a Havanese!

5The havanese  Mar 29, 2008
Not only does this book have specific insights for the Havanese (including grooming and quirks) but it is very funny. That goes along with the character of the Havanese. Excellent book.

5The Havanese  Mar 25, 2008
This is a great book. The authors provide a plethora of really information that is useful for anyone thinking of getting a Havanese and for anyone who already has one. Great information. Even better, it is fun to read. The descriptions of Havanese idiosyncrasies are hilarious!!! I gave the book to my 87 year old mother to read just for fun and she loved it!!!! And she is not even a dog lover!!Highly recommend!!

5The Havanese  Dec 23, 2007
I loved this book. We had a poodle before and I thought I knew all about picky eaters, but I had never seen a dog as picky as my little Havanese. He would love one thing one day (like steak - NEVER dogfood !) and the next day not touch it. The same goes for hamburger, lamb, hotdogs etc. etc. I really worried about it until I read this book and it said that is typical of Havanese. We adore our dog. He is the most affectionate dog we have ever had.
