Joey Crate Training

Now he realizes it's not such a bad place to be and is content to watch me !
Here's Joey, starting his individual crate training. He would rather be with his litter mates and at first tries to find a way out.

Murray 7 weeks

Here's Murray, trying his best to smile for the camera. Honestly, it was hard to get his picture because he kept running up to me!
We try to get individual time with all the pups and get them used to clippers and brushes- and of course, toy monkeys. ( His favorite)
Murray watching me to see what other games we're going to play now.

Joey at 7 weeks


Here is Joey with his namesake Joe. They're both pretty cute, I would say!

Lilly and Joe

This is also Lilly at 7 weeks and almost 3 lbs. Can't see too much of Joe but it's great of Lilly!

Lilly

Sorry, this picture is a little blurry because Lilly is in perpetual motion! She loves to play hide and seek but also has her quiet moments when she wants to snuggle. This was taken when Lilly was 6 weeks old. You can see how expressive her eyes are going to be. She is one of the smaller pups in the litter.

Joey

Here is Joey at 6 weeks of age. We have been so busy with these little guys we haven't been posting like we did when they were younger. It's just so much fun to play with them- not to mention trimming their toenails, getting them used to the clippers, socializing them, cuddling with them, and just enjoying them! Joey has been reserved.

Murray

Murray is one of the available pups as of Nov 20th . He is almost 7 weeks old and weighs 3 lbs. This little boy loves to follow us all around the puppy pen! He is cream colored with Champagne markings on his ears. He's already beginning to get a thick, fluffy coat. What a sweetie he is!

Crate training Begins!

The pups have now started their crate training! As you can see, these little guys are quite comfortable in their crate. At six and a half weeks old, this is their first step towards housebreaking!

5 Weeks Old

The puppies are now 5 weeks old and are changing so much! Their coats are getting so fluffy and they love to run all over and explore. They have been eating softened puppy chow and enthusiastically finish it. They all weigh between 2 pounds 5ounces and 1 pound 14 ounces.

2 1/2 weeks-updated pictures!

Wow how time flies! The puppies are already 2 1/2 weeks old. They are keeping us all quite busy. We have been handling them daily and have recently started taking them out of their pen individually to get some one-on-one socialization time. They are all beginning to develop personalities and are starting to interact with us more and more. They are a joy for our household. Below are some updated pictures.


The boys (starting from the left)--Murry, Joey, and BradyBrady already has such beautiful dark pigmentation on his nose and lips (with some pups it take 2-4weeks to come in but with Brady it was dark by 1 week). He started out cream colored but now has some silver around his mouth and eyes. Since Havanese are notorious for changing color well into adolescence, it will be very exciting to see what color he turns out out to be.
Murry is the largest of the pups so far and is quite the sweetheart. He also started out cream but now has some champagne markings coming in on his head and ears.
Joey is the sole black and white puppy of this bunch. He is already beginning to walk all around the pen and makes sure his little voice is heard when he is hungry (but can you blame him when he has four siblings to compete with?).


The Girls--(from left to right) Lilly and Missy
Little Lilly may be small but has enough personality to make up for it. She always is the first to try and explore her surroundings . As you can see her pigment on her nose and lips has also come in quite nicely.
Missy is the first true Champagne colored puppy we have had. At birth we were excited at the prospect of her being champagne and she has not disappointed us. She also has some white markings on her head that only add to her cuteness.

Gidget's Tricks!

Havanese were originally bred to be circus dogs. They are extremely smart and catch on to new tricks easily. Gidget loves being the center of attention when she's performing. Here is a video that we put together of her doing some of her tricks.

Just sleepin away...

The puppies are two days old and are doing great. They are very good nursers and have all been gaining weight just beautifully. We have been handling them since birth so they will grow up used to people, and will be very well socialized. Here is a picture we took of them today. Enjoy!

They're here!

Five beautiful, healthy puppies arrive earlier today. We have two girls (one cream, and one champagne colored) and three boys (one black with white points, and two cream colored). Mom and babies are all doing great! We will update soon with more pictures.

Still Waiting...

Gidget is due any day and as you can see...she is getting huge!
My daughter Amy, who is an RN, has been listening to the puppies heartbeats!

Our Stud dog "Cory"

Here is Cory in his first dog obedience class. At the end of the 10 week course there was an obedience match and he received 2nd place out of 30 other dogs! We were so proud of him!
Here is Cory as his hair is growing in a little bit more.
