Shih Tzu/Havanese mix?

I have to say that I think you made a good decision, even though I bet it was hard to ignore the impulse of buying that little shih tzu/havanese cutie Very Happy

I personally love all of the little furbaby's and it's almost impossible for me to choose an absolute favorite. I have allergies so as long as they don't bother me, I am all about the pups.
I just want to say that if I get another baby I wish it could look just like Bailey! He is tooo cute! Very Happy

Omygawsh, Alabamamom! Embarassed

That was so sweet! thank you..... Smile

I have to admit I think Bailey is a cutie, too (which means he gets away with twice as much as he should! LOL)

Your little Romeo is toooooooooo adorable too! He fits his name, that's for sure Drool

Thanks Alabamamom! Yes, it was very hard... and it's kind of funny that I was the strong one when it's usually my hubby!

He was totally taken in w/their sweet little faces, and I sort of felt guilty b/c one puppy in particular just kept looking at me and coming up to me Crying or Very sad

I know we did the right thing sticking w/Shih poos Very Happy

PS: I agree... Bailey is just the cutest face!!!

I stopped a couple a home depot and asked if their dog was a havanese. This was when I had only seen one online. They looked at me with astonishment and said yes, how did you know? I smiled and said I know my dogs. I was proud that I was able to identify it.

hehe, puttin!! Now that I've seen a lot of pics of them, I think I'd be able to recognize one also.... I think if I see the mercedes first, then perhaps the diamonds, then if the dog looks Havanese -- he's probably Havenese! Smile

hehe

By the way, poogirl...
another factor that nobody mentioned was that I really really think you'll enjoy the "poo" part of the mix!! I know that I do... I've always heard that poodles were really smart and easy to train! That was true for Bailey (except for those dam* toilet paper rolls!!) and I love his coat. I have three friends w/ pure bred shihtzus and I think Bailey's coat is softer!

Great point Monster ~ I think I'll enjoy the "poo" part too! My husband had a miniature poodle growing up and said she was just the smartest thing!

I know we made the right choice Surprised
