Choosing the Perfect Havanese Color!

Everyday our Royal Flush Havanese puppies are growing and developing and their Havanese color is changing. They are beginning to walk, “talk” and show their personalities. The Havanese breed is known for their intelligence and easy going personalities. You can always count on the Havanese’s “eager to please temperament”.  Because of that, most of our pups are chosen based on Havanese color. What most new puppy parents don’t realize is that as your puppy is physically & mentally developing and changing so too is his coloring! You can say goodbye to the traditional all white or black and white pups as your only options, although they are always gorgeous! This breed is truly unique because they have such a large variety in Havanese color shades, markings and patterns! We get so many calls from puppy parents after puppies go home and are full grown telling us their pups look completely different now!
