Monte - 12 year old Havanese. Loves his lookout car seat, but not a convertible guy. Prefers the X5.

How was this little bugger to train?

My mom is about to get one but she [and my dad] both work busy corporate jobs. She's unsure of how to manage.

Manager said she could take the little guy to work but still, it's not ideal.

A little white Havanese is in my opinion, the cutest thing to ever roam this Earth. What little angels...mischievous ones at that.

He was VERY easy. Didn't take to the crate but house training was literally a few hours. We put a bell on the door rang it when we went out in the AM, by lunch he was ringing it himself to go out.

If you want a dog to run a 5k with every day Havanese is not your breed but for anything else exceptional dogs. Took him to NYC last weekend he went shopping, out to dinner, stayed in hotel etc not a single problem.

PM me if you need a breeder referral, his mom won best of breed at Westminster. I'm not rah rah dog pedigree guy but for a less common breed that's prone to certain things it's good to know what you're getting into. Nature vs nurture leans strongly towards nature w dogs in my experience.

Wonderful little mutts they are. Part havanese and part satan.

Good to know.

My family is out in Seattle so if you know anybody that would be great. My mom already knows a woman who breeds show dogs. I went with her to see the puppies and they looked like little cotton balls.

Wow, another Doxie... he looks like Enzo's twin!

Can post the pups at some point...but I'll go a tad different.
I've had this guy since 2004...guess he's around 14 now



I got 2 of these from Petco when I first set up my tank in 2001. Both are ~17 years old.


Most of my fish are over 10 years old...

Doxies taking over!

Sophie - 6 years old





Bella - 12 years old





And how about a pet from the past. RIP Tex. 1996 - 2008.

We had a prairie dog named Whistler as a pet when I was young. He was a great pet.

Nice! Pretty rare you meet a fellow prairie dog owner. Agreed, great pets. Hilarious personalities. Tex used to open up the bottom kitchen cabinets and pull out cereal boxes, bags of chips, etc. and rip into them. He was a very mischievous little guy. Somehow, inexplicably, he was also completely potty trained. Never in 12 years did he go in the house. He always went back to his cage to do his business in the corner.
