Can pls somebody tell me a difference between Havanese and Bichon Frise dog breeds? I only know Bichons are all white while Havenese are not. I also have a co worker who keeps saying he has a Havanese Bichon Frise and this makes me completely confused! Thank you.
My havanese passed in November and we just got a bichon who is 3 and a rescue. My havanese was a "runt" 6 pounds, 2 inch legs , the new dog is 20 pounds. Havanese are the most gentle, playful companion dogs you could as for. They also don't bark like Maltese (a real blessing I think). They train more easily because they just want to make you happy. That said, our new dog- at 3, and after 6 terrible months ending in a kill shelter- is a dog, in the best sense. Also very, very affectionate. He has attached to me(I'm again the alpha) and really wants to please me. But he needs exercise , I have to let him run, fetch , or play or he gets into slippers, etc., I hope that helps! I think, either way you'll be very happy. Also- there are lots of small dogs/ pure bred, if that's important who desperately need homes😢
I live in the NYC/ Long Island area. How can I find a toy Havapoo (1st choice) or a Havanese? Excellent reputable Shelter or Breeder that is not a farm?
