BREED: Havanese
|
|
|
Breed Description:
Havanese are a double-coated long haired toy breed. They are generally 8-11 1/2 inches tall and weigh generally between 7 and 15 pounds though some Havanese are as large as 22 pounds. Coat types can be curly, wavy or straight. Their tail curls over the back, but the dog has control over this.
The skull is somewhat rounded and broad. The muzzle narrows progressively and slightly towards the nose but is neither snipey nor truncated. The eyes are dark and almond shaped and are not protruding. The ears are dropped and set slightly high and fall along the cheeks. They have long feathering when uncut. The tip is a slightly rounded point.
The topline of a Havanese is straight, but rises from the withers to the flank. The backlegs are slightly longer than the forelegs resulting in a springy gait.
Havanese come in a wide variety of colors including: white, champagne, black, cream, gold, chocolate, sable, silver, and blue. Various patterns are possible too.

Details about "DO YOU ACCEPT" responses:
All Havanese are accepted into rescue regardless of age. Bite cases are rare and are evaluated on an individual basis. Mixes are accepted if they look like the breed enough to be identified as such and space is available. We have had numerous Havanese with special needs, generally cataracts, mammary tumors, liver shunts, bladder stones and chondrodysplasia (dwarfism).

Details about "PROCEDURES" responses:
Our contract requires all dogs be returned to us for the life of the dog should the adoptive home not be able to keep the dog. Adoptions require a home visit. Temperament testing is done informally within the foster home and is considered in making an adoption. All dogs leave foster care with a foster home report which details temperament and health information.
