Brenda Boles - 2010-09-21 I have what is supposed to be a Havanese, looks and acts like a Havanese, is very sweet, etc., etc. One thing though -- he is 25 pounds now! When I got him, he was a rescue dog and weighed 22.5 pounds and was thin. Everything I've read says they weigh a lot less. Height to his withers is 11.25". I think he needs to lose about 2 pounds. Is he a Havanese? I also thought maybe he was a Tibetan Terrier, however, his legs are short like a Havanese.

Tammy - 2010-11-20 I have a purebread Havanese and he is 3 1/2 now and 24 lbs. He is at his healthiest when he is 22 lbs. Havanese can get this big! I have a second 1 1/2 yr. old and he is only 9 lbs. Really, it all depends on the parents, but there is quite a range! They are sweet, funny dogs though, aren't they?
Heike Kaden - 2011-08-06 Hallo Brenda, Your maxi-Havanese is just darling! Maybe a little bearded Collie a couple of generations back. Surely there is some other dog beside Havanese in him. I have a Havanese, pedigree dates back to Pillowtalk`s, she weighs 5 kg. Well, unusual situations, require an unusual handling - Your Maxi-Havanese is a very special one, this kind can not be bought anywhere. How about this? He looks a little like my other dog, I brought him to Germany from Turkey, a big big darling. All the best for you and Maxi-Havanese, best regards from Germany (Mrs.) Heike Kaden
Though the Havanese is a toy dog, this companion dog has a sturdy build for its size!
