We have an 11 year old Havanese. He is one of the best things that ever happened to us. He is full of love and gives us great joy everyday. If you're interested in getting a dog, consider a Havanese. But if you get one, plan on a few things. Do not plan on raising your voice, they are very sensitive. Understand that they call these dogs "velcro dogs" because they will want to touch you every chance they get. They'll sit on your foot or lean on you etc.. Just anything to touch you. They will probably fall in love with you and in short order, that love will pull you in and you will suddenly realize that you love them too. They are easy to train and your discipline should be administered gently.
My Havanese will be five come August. We are in the woods daily hunting for the chipmunks. I couldn’t imagine being without him. He knows what I say to him most of the time. He knows when I’m gong to work when I put on the orange shirt. He runs ahead going into the woods but comes back to see if I’m coming. I tell him I’m coming and he will go further and repeat. He is the sweetest dog. I’m 61 and he makes life worth living.
I got a Havanese 3 months ago. I researched the breed 6 months. I am so happy with my choice. I love my baby girl. She learned to fetch at 3 months and now plays catch with me. Very easy to train.
How’d you teach your havanese how to fetch?
Havanese are the best! I just lost my beloved Sam, and he lived 16 years + 7 months. I love this breed! Intelligent, very loving, and playful as well as lovable. I will never have any other breeds than this beautiful breed.
If I had to decide: of course Havanese 🤪
Yup they are great dogs and they are soo friendly. They don't even bite ,and they are really intelligent. They understood everything
Havanese are the BEST dogs. Never wanted a dog until I met one.
I have a havanese,she is the best dog ever!!
Agree
We had a havanese for 10 yrs sick with her heart we miss her she was best dog who ever have.
@@ranik.6663 same!
I researched for months before getting mine and I have to agree 🐶
I owned a lovely Havanese boy who made it to 13.5 years. I loved that boy to pieces and still miss his precious quirky personality!
I have a Havanese. She's the best. So smart and expressive. She communicates what she wants. She does require a lot of attention and is glued to me. But i love her. She doesn't bark unless someone is at the door or the garage opens. I do appreciate her bark since I live alone. She's also very funny and silly super playful. She's 3 and the best Desicion I ever made!
My Havanese is my first small dog. I am completely smitten, she is the perfect companion. As far as the potty training goes, maybe a bit more challenging than larger dogs, but she eventually got it. Now she goes to the door and rings the bells every time. I am completely opposed to ‘pee pads’, it just teaches them to use your home as a toilet.
Havanese are such loving animals. They tend to get very attached to their owner. I own two and wouldn't trade them for anything!
I have a mix Havanese and Maltese and she’s the BEST dog I have ever had ~ smartest sweetest funniest kindest sweetheart 🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾
Where did you get one
same, I also have that mix. Incredible dog! She will get puppies during this summer :)
@@adrian8819 Re they promised to parents?
@@countryrose763 it was unfortunately canceled. The vet recommended not doing it because of some back problems
I have a havanese, he is *Not Funny* *NOT FUNNY*
My Havanese is the best dog Ive ever had. He is very smart and knows many words. He is very good at communicating what he wants to me. He is a very picky eater though. Count on buying a top quality food, or cooking fresh home cooked meals (canine recipes of course) for these babies. No grocery store kibble. Take whats said here about grooming and multiply, you just will not get it until you live with a Havanese. My dog will let me know he wants his bangs cut by shoving them back with his paw and he frequently wants his face washed with a wet cloth. Overall, this video is right on target with what to expect from your Havanese breed.
We have been living with Havanese for 15 years 🥰. They are the dogs with the golden heart 💛
The Havanese is pretty much the bigger and more durable version of the Maltese with more color options. I own a Havanese right now, and all he does is snooze around and play with his toys. He doesn't bug me unless his water bowl is empty or if he has to use the washroom. He could walk as far as 10 km'.
Wow I have a havanese and he gets tired after 2 kms and I have to pick him up.
@@editsyoudeserve5498 My Havanese use to get tired after 2k as well. But as patient training, he could walk much further without complaining.
My havanese runs recklessly for hours and constantly demands attention-
@@roxiefrox252 Hahah, my Havi was the calmest puppy of the litter and does nothing but sleep against my feet.
I LOVE MY 3YR OLD HAVANESE.I'M RETIRED SO SHE IS PERFECT BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.SUCH A JOY!!LOVES EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING!!!!
Love to hear that! :)
you know how to turn caps off?
@@yesno-oh9ku lmao😂😂😂😂😂
@@yesno-oh9ku Sometimes people with poor sight are able to see capital letters more easily.
While I'm sure maltese are lovely dogs also, I love my havanese! I've had many dogs, but havanese are now my hands-down favorite breed. I highly recommend!
Havanese are wonderful and playful dogs! They get my thumbs up!
I’m a devoted Havanese owner. Maltese are adorable too, but Havas are numero uno!
We have a Havanese and they are great dogs. A lot of fun.
My Maltese is wonderful - I sing a song to her every morning when we wake up, and she sings along with me. She's my first Maltese, so it took awhile before I realized how very sweet and dedicated she really is. She's a good little hiker, too. Something I would not have expected, but there it is. Best dog ever, my Gussie!
OMGGGG that's so cute
My Havanese just passed away so i keep watching videos like this to remember her. She was more like a little human than dog. Greatest dog breed ever!
We are on our 5th Maltese. We absolutely love this breed! I am a stay at home Mom (with an empty nest) so never had to leave them for long. Now that Covid is here, our little girl is never left alone! She “babysits” her daddy on the few occasions i need to go out.
Hi Gail i just want to ask if you breed the lovely Maltese terriers or Maltese Shit Zhu puppies. My i just lost last Dec 27, 2i020 my lovely Buddy after 9 happy loving years with us. We are looking one to fill the emptiness in our hearts. Cheers have a good day
@@juliefang5670 HI Julie! I am so sorry for your loss. We lost one about 4 years ago and boy it is a hard thing to deal with. No I don’t breed Maltese but I know 2 lovely ladies that do. They are in the Phoenix area but will deliver a puppy (NO SHIPPING) almost anywhere. They even have show lines. Our girl, who came from them, is the daughter of 2 winning show dogs. Their dogs have even been on the Animal Planet as an example of the Maltese breed. They run about $3,000 for a female and males are a little less. They have a waiting list for puppies but these 2 ladies are well worth waiting on. All puppies are born and raised in a family home and are potty trained to a pad by 8 weeks. If you are interested, email me at gail.friedman1025@gmail.com and I will happily give you contact info.
Hi Gail, thank you for your reply without delay, i deeply appreciated it. I hope to find one soon. You are right it is very hard to let go. We had him cremated and he is sitting on top of my dresser. Cheers Gail. God Bless you and your beautiful dog.
Hi Gail, sorry i was not able to reply you the soonest. I deeply appreciate your reply and advice. We live in Melbourne, Australia and i just wish we are near you in USA so as i can get a pet dog Maltese Shitsu to replace Buddy to ease my sadness and longingness, probably if i am lucky to find one like Buddy i can let go my loss. God Bless.
@Tamara dogs bark
Havanese are the best!
You will hear "sensitive" a lot when referring to a Havaneese. I've never loved a dog more than mine that passed away at age 13 recently. She was a rescue so I thought her being scared of fireworks, loud noises, rowdy children was due to this but now I realize it is specific to this breed. But even though you must be careful of those things this is the quality which makes them so human like. My Chica was an excellent communicator. She wasn't a barker but she licked her lips when she was hungry, she scratched at a faucet if she wanted water and she would sit in front of the door and look back at me if she wanted out. She also knew exactly how I was feeling. If I wasn't feeling well she would never ask for anything but just sit protectively next to me. She also wasn't the dog that was licking and jumping and constantly in your lap. She was reserved except at play time when she'd bring you a ball to play fetch. Please consider, as the video says, your ability to physically be near them and willingness to be sensitive to their tendency to be scared by rowdy children and noise before taking on the responsibility of being their parent.
oh! so sorry! our lady died last January at 13 1/2 years.... they are th best
I' ve got a Maltese. She's lovely and cute. But also intelligent.
I also have one and we are in love with her. ❤️
Are these dogs known to bark a lot?
@@susandunlop4490 All dogs bark in certain situations. The amount is relative, some people react to the slightest noise some are more relaxed. Our dog barks at dogs she doesn't like also at people who she thinks act suspicious. She mostly barks at home to protect house and garden when she hears sounds she thinks don't belong. Also it is a question of training. You can certainly train a dog not to bark. I don't think Maltese are barking more than other dogs. But I do think smaller dogs bark more than bigger dogs. The worst are Dachshounds.
I am born in Havana, Cuba but ironically have never owned a Havanese, I have a maltese though, my beautiful and loyal Baby girl Bella, best dog ever
I have a Maltese since she was 2 months. She is now 12 1/2yrs. Highly intelligent and expressive love to listen to ole school hits from the 80s especially when I sing outloud, music from that time is more soothing to the ears.
I had a maltese which was the world to me, now I'm researching Havanese, so this video and the comments are invaluable! Thanks everyone :)
I love my Havanese pup. She is nearly 6 months old and is such a sassy, funny, loving puppy. Would not trade her for the world. We have always had Rescue dogs but with covid, nearly all dogs were adopted early on. When our Lhasa rescue died in December, my heart was broken. Winter, our Havanese helps us to mend and is a companion for our other rescue dog, Pepper. LOVE her.
I have a rescue Havanese and she is the sweetest ever. She was a "crop" to the mill and had lots of puppies. She was pregnant with 2 when auctioned off. Probably her big litter days were over. Be careful of mills. Love this old baby of mine.
My Havanese is such a blessing, adorable but feisty.
I have 2 havanese ..and they are so adorable and intelligent
I love my Havanese 🐶 , he has separation anxiety since they are velcro dog. Our solution we got another Havanese 🐶. Love them both!!
I have an 11 year old Havanese, and wouldn't trade her for the world. She's a tough little monkey, and we walk for at least an hour almost every day. She's smart, loving and everything a little dog should be. She has completed 3 levels of obedience, competed in both agility and flyball. I would have another in a heartbeat.
Wow! I would love to see your dog in action!
I have a havanese and I’ll never get another dog breed. He is the best dog I have ever had. And I’ve had about 10 different breeds.
Have 2 Havanese, 17 and 15 . Best little dogs in the world.
We went with a Havanese because they are sturdier and we had two, young children, one who is mildly autistic. 11 1/2 years later, we couldn't have asked for a better dog than Dina.
After owning a husky, and a black lab, I decided to get a Maltese... and ended up with a Havanese - the bigger, sturdier and more colorful version 😉
That must have been such a big difference between owning big - medium sized dogs compared to owning a Havanese :)
why choose one when you can have BOTH! meet- the Havamalt. best little baby ive ever had
Totally agree! :)
That's fantastic!
Hello First time I will have Havanese-Maltese male !! I will bring home next week. He was born on Oct.22.2020. He’s still in the shop. I saw him Jan.13.2021. And visited him on Jan.21.2021. He seems very quite. Is it normal. ? I asked them they said he’s great. My boy will see vet this week. Probably I ‘ll bring him forever home. I’m so exited. I can not wait.
@@ninasaydam4481 You will adore him, sweetest dogs ever!!
@@ninasaydam4481 hi considering getting one. How is he?
I'm a 71 year old retiree and am shopping around for a dog. Both breeds you mentioned are equally lovely but I think the Maltese won my heart.
I went for the havvy
The greatest love I've ever known in my life came from my Maltese dogs.
We bred Havanese but inherited a Maltese pup a year ago. Love them all. My Maltese is quite the barker. My female Hav will bark for reason.
We have had both. Our Havanes was our first dog ever, he was purebred AKC registered and the lineage he came from had some larger than standard sizes. He was the only one in his litter who in his adulthood was bigger and longer than any Havanese I have personally seen...28 pounds with not an ounce of fat. He was super healthy until he developed both a rare lymphoma and anal gland cancer. We lost him in August 2020 after doing very well on chemo for a year and a half, when he suddenly plummeted at age 17 and 1/2 yrs old. Devastating and we are still working on getting over this loss. We also have a much younger Malty-poo that we rescued. We really prefer the Havanese largely for the multi-colors and larger than life personality... we hope to get another Havanese puppy eventually.
Will have some available in July. $800
@@diannelee656 where are you from? E mail please. Thanks Ramon
@@diannelee656 Could you tell me where you are located?
I love my Havenese baby!
I have a havanese’s he’s sooo cute better than Maltese dog
I had maltese havanese mix .. its so sweet
All dogs are awesome....but the Havanese, well they are just a bucket of love. I never loved any pet more than my little boy Havanese.
Havanese wins, look at the comments. I lost my Havanese, best dam breed ever. I had my boy for 13 years, I loved that dog. It left me heart broken. I have not been able to get another dog yet, its been 2 years.
we just got our 3rd havanese, we lost our second one at age 13 1/2 in April. My husband wanted another dog asap we called a breeder who had just had a litter and we lucked out getting another havanese dog. It's hard to find a good breeder of these dogs. So far our new dog is very healthy, she's 4 months old and now weighs 9 lbs. The breeder had one male and 3 females. We had the 2nd pick of the litter, we got a female that was the best looking female, the male was the biggest, mine was the second biggest and the pick of the females imo. We haven't had a male havanese yet, maybe in the future we will get a male. I loved all our female havanese dogs though. Very good dogs.
Havi ❤️
My Havanese was absolutely the best!! She passed away 2 months ago at the ripe old age of 16 1/2 years.
Thanks for the wonderful video. I had a Maltese for 16 years and she was wonderful I think if I could I would get a Maltese and Havanese cross 👍🏻🥰
I have a Havanese boy and havamalt girl, love love both of them! ❤️❤️
I LOVE my Maltese ❤ best dog ever!!
You have such a lovely voice!
I have had a Havanese for 15 years. I am hooked on Havaneses! For me personally, it is Havanese and all other breeds.
I have to 2 male malteses dogs they are great dogs very smart, i love them both.
I deeply loved my two Maltese babies. I wouldn’t have any other dog, though I love them all!💗💕
I have both of these breeds and I love them both. I have to say tho the Havanese breed stole my heart. I just got a second Havanese pup to go with my other havanese and my Maltese
Love love love my Havanese.
By all means, a Maltese. I now have my second little one as our sweet Bella got cancer. Sassy Sadie is our love now. She has a definite mind of her own but is by my side at all times.
I've had my Havanese for 8 yrs. His name is Buddy. He is very clise in personality to how you decribed havanese in your video. One thing that is so true he is a loving friend and hates to be left alone!
We find out this week if Honeybear, pictured at left, and his lady-friend, Angel, were successful in starting a litter. We get a puppy as his “stud fee” and I could not be more excited about the potential of a second generation Havi baby! If you read this, please consider sending some fertility energy their way, haha. Thank you, pet friends!
Thank you for the information. Just curious - what accent is that?
We have a maltese female breed with charming characteristics.cute look n fearless. More understanding than humans and has a position❤️ achieved by herself..
Havanese and Maltese rhyme!!😁 I noticed you pronounced agility right!! 😃 🐕
Yeah, thank to you :) I try my best not to forget :D I appreciate every other correction :)
Used to be involved with a Havanese that I nicknamed Ted after that dog in the movies she loved nothing better than a treat,chicken necks and a game preferably with a little treat or two along the way. Miss her heaps not with her owner anymore such a cool little dog. ps very partial to cold roast chicken also. ❤️😒🐶🐶
So in other words they're both awesome and would make any family happy....
I've owned a Maltese many years ago. Great dog. Currently I own a Maltipoo. Smart dog, he understands everything I say. I keep him in a puppy clip.
What is a puppy clip?
@@JoanneSgrignoli hair cut short, not long like a show dog. Much easier to keep tangle-free
@@jurapp5334 Thank you!
I have a Havenese ber name is CoCo she is just 2 months old and i could train her so easily she is really the best companion she is always by my side every where and anywhere yes anywhere even if i wana go 💩 but ofc i lock the door 😂 But anyways she is always there for me, and for me she is my best friend 😌 I love you CoCo ❤

Havanese
We met our ever so handsome Havenese at $300 ..We looked everywhere for a rescue like our Havapoo. Met someone in my neighborhood who’ breeds these adorable pups..
I have one of each!
Female Havanese pup almost 7 months. Smart, agile. Shows strong rodent hunting instincts. Seemed quiet and shy at breeder visits, turned out to have plenty of facets to personality and vocalizations. Pretty tough little pooch.
Yesterday I adopted a Maltese I named her Sofie she’s 4 1/2 months old from a rescue my first adoption😃🐾
Like the video? Please let me know!

My Havanese🥰, she will be 3 in April. She loves to praise Jesus.
🙏❤❤🙏
Havanese are very very smart. Sometimes to smart. If u do something they don't like they will let you know. They are fun and very loving and protective. They are the best dog ever!
Some facts you have incorrect. The maltese is the oldest toy breed They have been around since 5000 bce They are the grandparents genetically of the poodle, bison, shi tzu, heaviness, and laso opso. The can be between 4lbs to 12 lbs and up to 12 inches tall They are rated #1 in service and companion animals for people with mental illness They are incredibly intelligent I know all this bc I own a service dog fully certified maltese and have for 6 years I did research for a year and a half before getting him. He is by far the best dog I have ever owned. He is the sweetest and most well behaved and knows hundreds of comands/words
Does the Maltese have a reputation for barking a lot?
I think bichon, not bison 😂🙃🤣
I had a Havanese for 16 years. Loved her. She didn't like small children especially when the jumped or banged their feet. She was 11 lbs of bossy. She was incharge. Potty training was difficult, to the extent I would say never fully trained. I was trained. She was always with me. I really miss her.
I want a puppy so bad. I’m leaning more towards havanese ❤️
You won't regret it...Havanese are amazing.
Read my responce
My new puppy's mother has just started her season, so I should be getting my Havanese in just over 4 months, if all goes well.
Watching this with my maltese bichon And my dream pet is a havanese
Havanese mum forever ❤️
I have the best of both worlds. I have a Havamalt.
Perfekt!👍
I have a Havanese !!!
Desi havanese, cute Maltese 😍
I have a Maltese and my best friend owns a Havanese, they are the best doggies so smart and loyal. Her havanese is bit bigger then the average and weighs about 18 lbs while my Maltese is 1/4 shih tzu and weighs 9lbs
We have a terrific Havanese chocolat. After 8 years he got Atopy skin problems. Very Itchy and escalating. He eats only veganistic food now and it seems it helps. Combing daily and cleaning his eyes and under his tail area is nessesary.
I have a havanais puppy!❤️ Pippi!❤️ she is my love!❤️my best friend!❤️
Cuban 🇨🇺 Havenese 🐶 ❤️
Havanese!
I think my dog is a mix of both 😂
I have a havanese and a shihtzu. My havanese is much more obedient and so sweet. She love playing fetch. She is smart. She understands things that I said. She never bites. She barks but stop when I tell her not to. She love rolling in the bed and on grass. She is the best breed that I ever owned.
My neighbor had a Shihtzu, they're cute but I don't care for the pushed in face, I heard those dogs with pushed in faces have breathing issues. I really love the havanese's facial features, they are so darn cute. I like Maltese's too but I feel they are too delicate.
I like the Havanese ❤️❤️❤️
I’ll take both
I am looking for a Havanese puppy...but haven't been able to locate one😔. Does anyone know of Havanese female (white) puppies available in 🇹🇹...thanks
I have a Havapoo.
I have a beautiful older Havanese and I love 💘❤💕♥💗💖💘❤ my Sammybaby!!!!!!!
I have a Maltese/Yorkie mix. She’s 6 months old & extremely active. Her looks are similar to the Maltese & she’s 4.5 pounds. She needs training, but we can’t afford it. How can we train her?
My dog responded well to clicker training with treats. You click the clicker when the dog does the right thing, it doesn't take long for a click to be associated with 'good', I had no trouble with training because she tried so hard to please me. One of the most useful commands was 'go wee-wee' before getting in the car. To train this, I would take her out when I knew she needed to go, gave the command and, as soon as she started to pee, I clicked the clicker and praised her. When she finished, I repeated the praise and gave her a treat.
Very informative video, i learned about my @clamBella
All are best street dogs puppies cats all are heaven ❤️❤️💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️
