I had planned to stay in for this year’s show as well until on the afternoon of July 4th, fellow Havanese lover Ellen Whitehouse-Vaux mentioned to me in a …

This video is for me, a fascinating look at Havanese behavior and interaction. At 8 months, my pup Rory was pretty overwhelmed by the number of dogs at her first visit to the K9 Fun Zone Indoor Dog Park but Diva took her under her wing to show her how the big Havs do it. Diva is a confident, energetic, …
