Daisy is our first small dog, until now we’ve only had 40+ lb. dogs. We’re finding every day to be a new adventure with her, so this blog is as much a journal for us as it is a little light reading for anyone who’s interested. 
There’s very little information “out there” about Havachons, so we hope we can shed a little light on this new designer breed for anyone interested in getting one of these sweet, loving pups.
If you visit our blog and leave a comment or a “Like”, I’ll definitely return the favor! (Except for generic spammers….I delete those….)
Welcome to our Havachon world!
Daisy is such a doll! Don’t dogs make the best of friends? I could easily dedicate a whole blog to our animals … but I wouldn’t want it to go to their head!
Thanks for visiting! It’s so nice to “meet” you!
Hi, nice to meet you !
oh. it’s a her. i’m sorry for that.
she is very lovely!!
Hi Daily I love you.
opps Daisy
I’m sure Daisy would appreciate that!
what is your nickname?
Daisy’s got lots of nicknames, but we call her Puppy a lot because no matter how old she gets, she’ll always be a puppy to us. We also call her Nutter Butter, Fuzzer Nutter, and lots of other silly names!
Nutter Butter is sooo cute. My cats like french fries.
Daisy just had a taste of her first oven fry and she loved it too!
Looking forward to following your blog – I have a Bichon Frise, Evee, and she’s the light of my life
Bichons are adorable! Thanks for the follow, I’ll be visiting your site too!
I have mentioned you on my blog today. Come check it out!
Thank you so much for the pingback and for sharing your award with me!
I left a comment on your latest post about Daisy and her shoe toppling tendencies, but I noticed it wasn’t showing up! Just checking to make sure it wasn’t sent to your spam box.
A warm hello to Daisy and her family! Daisy is too cute for mere words and she actually looks like a child’s stuffed animal.
As a matter of fact, when I was first contemplating about adopting a dog, I was seriously considering Havachons. As thinks turned out, I ended up adopting 2 beautiful Shih Tzu boys, instead. I don’t regret my final decision but I still love Havachons.
Warmly,
Hanna
Hello Hanna, nice to meet you! Shih Tzu pups are absolutely adorable, how nice that you were able to adopt two! We were torn among so many different small breeds, but when we found Daisy, our hearts melted. For us, she was “The One” – all 2.6 pounds of her at 10 weeks old! And when we found out that she doesn’t shed, we knew it was meant to be! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi! I am looking into getting a Havachon puppy and came across your page! I was wondering if you could offer me any advice or suggestions? We’ve always had big dogs so I am looking forward to having something smaller and a little cleaner haha (we also have a Saint Bernard and Golden Retriever). How much does Daisy weigh? I am also concerned with what I am going to do with the puppy while I am at work all day… what do you do? Thank you!!!
Hi Ashley, and thanks for stopping by! We always had big dogs too, Daisy is our first small dog and I can tell you that small dogs are entirely different; we felt as if we were in a whole new world. Havachons are VERY smart and can be stubborn, but they’re also so sweet, loving, and cuddly. Daisy weighs 15 pounds, which is typical for a Havachon. Housebreaking was a bit difficult and became a war of wills; I’d say it took about 2 months for her to finally do the right thing, but a total of 9 months before she cooperated 100%, with no accidents (I hear this is typical). Havachons love company – they’re very social dogs – so if you’re going to be at work all day, it’s good that he/she will have the company of the other dogs. Daisy loves to play; she loves people and other dogs and gets along easily with them all. You probably already know that Havachons have hair instead of fur, so they have to be groomed pretty often and bathed weekly. All that said, I’d get another one in a heartbeat – the rewards definitely outweigh the work! Please feel free to ask any more questions you may have, and good luck with your choice!

Thank you Scriptor! I’ll be over soon!
I am so glad to have found you! There isn’t a whole lot of info out there regarding Havachons. Our Rosie is 10 months old.; have had her since she was 3 months. We are first time dog owners, so this is all new to us. We have 3 kids who adore her and my husband and I have grown to love her. She is sweet, but definitely has an onery side to her too! I loved reading your toy reviews. I just can’t believe how many toys we throw away….she chews through everything!! So thanks for all the info…I will be checking your blog often!!
I’m so glad to meet you, Jill! Up until we got Daisy, we only had large dogs, so this was a whole new experience for us. Small dogs are VERY different from big ones. Add to that the fact that, like you said, there’s barely any information on Havachons at all, and we felt like we were completely in the dark. But I have to say, even with the Havachon stubbornness and willfulness, their sweet, cuddly, loving side far overrides everything else. I wouldn’t trade Daisy for anything!
Regarding their Destructo-Pup side with toys, we’ve found that the Nylabone Dura-Chews made for “powerful chewers” are the best for Daisy. We have them for a few months before we have to replace them. They’re really hard and have no give at all when you squeeze them; if Daisy finds one tiny softer spot, she’ll pick at it until it’s destroyed – usually in 20 minutes or less. LOL! Guess what she’s getting in her Christmas stocking?
We love your blog and we have awarded you the the Liebster Blog Award This is a link to my post announcing the award: Hugs
