Havanese have hair, not fur. Thus, they don't have dog dander or shed. My husband had one of his lungs removed when he was just 5 years old. He had never been able to have a dog and for us the Havanese have been a huge blessing. First we bought Harley. Harley is a Chocolate Sable female with tan points. Harley's normal weight is 12 pounds. The next year we bought Davey. Davey is a Chocolate Irish
Pied. Davey's normal weight is 10 pounds. Both dogs are extremely loyal to both my husband and I. We have 7 grandchildren and both of our dogs are precious with them. Whether they are added to the swimming pool or just being drug around the house, we never have to worry.
