It is our pleasure to announce that The Havanese book is available, written by Diane Klumb, with assistance and photos by Joanne Baldwin DVM. Beginning with the history of the breed and ending with "The Educated Havanese", this book takes you step by step through the process of deciding if a Havanese is right for you, to how to choose a breeder, choose a puppy, how to prepare for a pup, and how to survive the first few weeks with your new pup. It also has a comprehensive chapter on canine nutrition and feeding, and illustrated chapters on grooming (including a separate chapter on cording.) This is an invaluable guide for those seeking to purchase a Havanese, those who have purchased a Havanese, and anyone who is interested in learning about the Havanese. All proceeds from sales are being donated to
H.E.A.R.T. to support the Havanese Genetics Project at Texas A&M. We
feel that this project is our best hope for identifying the gene(s)
responsible for Ockham Syndrome (that collection of symptoms,
affecting Havanese dogs, believed to be associated with a defect in
cholesterol biosynthesis.) This is the first book on the Havanese
that deals fully with the health issues that affect the breed. You
can learn all about Ockham Syndrome (OS) in Chapter 6..."Havanese
Health... the Unvarnished Truth."

PREVIEW: "Like a troupe of little Rumba dancers, the Havanese burst upon the American show scene in 1999, all ruffles and charm, a virtual unknown in the world of dogs. Soaring in popularity, they seemed to have emerged from nowhere, leading many to believe that the Havanese is a new breed, perhaps a recent cross. Amazingly, the breed developed over the past three centuries a mere ninety miles from America’s shore. It’s often called the world’s longest ninety miles, that stretch of azure water known as the Florida Straits… for this is the National Dog of Cuba."
