[quote=Anonymous]I was in the market for a Havanese; great choice, OP.  Just fyi, I ended up using a Havanese Rescue group.

I do not agree about "the problem" of an adult rescue of having kids bond with a dog for only a few years.  A pet getting old and dying is a great training ground for dealing with adult aging and death, and our society offers very few opportunities.

Second, when one looks for a breed, one is trying to control to have the dog they want:  the low dander, the color, the size, the personality, the agression, the exercise need, how much they drool, bark, etc.

You are trying for that when selecting a puppy, but you are never sure of the what they will become.

But if you are looking at an adult dog, you ARE looking at what they are...there is no guesswork.  They are the size they are, the allergenic level that they are, the personality that they are.  So you've actually controlled for the situation that you want, whereas with a puppy, you are just *trying* to control for the situation you want.[/quote]
