Book Description

Comprehensive Owner's Guide September 1, 2003
The world-famous Havanese is the only existing pure-bred dog of Cuban origin, a rare blend of intelligence, personality and natural beauty. Bred for its family-oriented temperament and loving ways, the Havanese is prized in the homes of the Cuban people as well as by fanciers in Europe and America. Written by world authority and founder of the Cuban parent club, Zoila Portuondo Guerra, this book provides the much-needed factual information about Havaneses and their ancestry, character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about preparing for the pup’s arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.

In addition to an extremely authoritative text written by a world expert, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Havanese from puppyhood to the senior years.

1.0 out of 5 stars a disappointing read, November 26, 2005
This review is from: Havanese: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
I was very diappointed in this book. Having read the reviews I looked forward to receiving it but in fact I thought it no better than generic dog book descriptions of the havanese breed. So many of these books, like 'Puppies for dummies' for instance, just repeat the same old stuff. I really wanted to know more about choosing and raising a havanese puppy, but it was of little use as its main focus seemed to be for potential breeders. There was very little about health problems, temperament or behaviour. In fact the book's layout and presentation looks 20 years old and I have already given my copy away to a thrift shop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Havanese - A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for your Dog by Guerra, August 2, 2005

This review is from: Havanese: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
Excellent book - especially for the first time owner of a Havanese. I would have liked to see a little more about the eye problems that pertain to this breed. Wonderful photos throughout. We enjoyed the section explaining the history of the breed.
