PNW Havanese

02/11/2025

From a young age we gently handle the puppies every day so they learn to relax, accept and even enjoy being held and loved on. Bella’s tricolor Havanese puppy is just melting in Evie’s arms.

We feed PawTree to all our dogs because it’s the highest quality kibble we could find on the market. We have had fewer digestive issues and the dogs love the taste. As the Westminster Dog Show is going on right now, I thought it would be fun to share the story of a former champion that is fed Pawtree.

Look at all the different shades of sables and red. I love it when they all look so unique. It will be interesting to see how their colors change over the next few weeks. One of the fun things about the Havanese breed is how they often change colors as a puppy and into adulthood especially sables. Sables will have one color on the tips of their hair and another often lighter color at their roots. So as their hair grows out the under color becomes more obvious.

Bella is such a happy proud mama. These first couple weeks she spends most of her time feeding, cleaning and taking care of her babies. One of my main jobs is to take care of her because sometimes she has to be reminded that it’s ok to take care of yourself too. Even when she’s taking a bathroom break or eating she’s listening to her puppies and goes running to them if she hears even the littlest squeak.

Bella had 5 Havanese puppies today. 3 girls and 2 boys. Delivery went well. She is such a good mama. However, they need some names. I was thinking a Valentine’s theme like chocolates (Hershey, cocoa, caramel, etc) or maybe jewelry/gems (Pearl, jade, ruby, etc). What theme and names would you do?

Puppies are coming!!

Bella’s daughter Rosie has turned into such a beautiful girl. Her coat is so thick and soft. I can’t wait to see what Bella’s next litter will look like. They should be here any day now. I’m hoping for a couple colorful sables just like Rosie.

Miss Rosie must have been feeling left out with her mama, Bella, getting all the grooming attention recently. If she wanted a bath I wish she would have told me instead of playing in the mud. 😂

The count down is on. We are a week away from Bella’s puppies. Which means time to setup the nursery (which I will share later when it’s finished) and time to bathe and clip mom. We want mom to be as comfortable as possible and a long coat requires a lot of brushing, shampooing, conditioning, drying, etc. so we trim her coat short then she can spend more time focusing on her babies.

My little kitchen helper is sleeping on the job.

Bella and Richard are expecting! I found at least 5-6. It could be more, because it’s hard to get an accurate count by ultrasound (they like to hide). We are expecting mostly sables and red and whites. Can’t wait to meet them in 3 weeks.

I love getting holiday greetings from our Havanese puppy families. It’s so fun to see. Every puppy will always have a special place in our heart. We will always be there for them and their families.

We might not be on puppy watch tonight but there have been many sleepless nights wait for puppies or checking on newborns. Seeing the smiles on their new family’s faces and hearing updates from them, makes it all worth it. I can’t wait to meet all the puppies this new year will bring.
Happy New Year’s

Rosie is looking so grown up and beautiful these days. Her mama, Bella, is expecting more colorful sables (like her) and hopefully some red and whites like Richard. They are going to be gorgeous.

Merry Christmas from Bella (and her growing pups in the oven), her daughter Rosie (future mama), and everyone else at PNW Havanese.

Check out Richard’s adorable little fluffs. They are just so cute and have the sweetest temperaments to match. He is going to be the dad to our next litter with Bella. We are expecting sables and reds similar to these. Stay tuned for some cuteness overload or head over to our website to sign up for updates.

If you are leaving your dog with a pet sitter during Christmas make sure their microchip contact info is current and double check that they can’t skip out of their collar or harness.

Every year during the holidays we have so many dogs/cats go missing from pet sitters. Make sure there are good rules in place for them to follow to keep your animal safe while you are away.

The handsome red and white Richard came to visit this weekend to have a date with Bella. He is the sweetest softest Havanese you will ever meet. Hopefully in 2 months we will have mini Ricky’s and Bella’s. See our website for more info.
