| Havaton Updated 2/24/2014   Hi Janice, Thought I’d let you know Pebbles is now online, check out foster and smith.com, put in item #’s 85631, and 85679...there’s our girl! I love the one with her on the chair. She will also be in the Christmas catalog....hasn’t had her sitting for that one yet. Today is last day of puppy class, she did really well, for the last day we’re walking around the ace hardware store greeting people, she will LOVE that! She’s got the bell thing down, in fact, yesterday I was getting ready to give her a bath, and when she realized what was going on, she ran over to the door and rang that bell like crazy! Still not really fond of bathtime. It was so funny, just like “let me out, I don’t want to take a bath”!! I’ll keep you posted when the catalog comes out....hope all is well with you. JoAnn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Janice, I thought I’d let you know that Pebbles did a photo shoot for the Foster & Smith online store, and will be in the Christmas catalog. A couple of people mentioned I should bring her in and see if they would be interested in using her, seeing as she is to darn cute, and sure enough, the photographer thought she would be a great “doggy model”! She had her first shoot a couple of days ago, and did just great, the photographer said she will definitely use her again. Everywhere we go, people comment on what a little cutie she is......and of course ask what her breed is and where did we get her. She is so calm, and just loves everyone she meets. She is also enrolled in puppy classes and is doing pretty well, there are some adult large dogs in there (who are NOT puppies!) who do intimidate her, but considering her size and theirs, I really don’t blame her. Her pictures should be online next week, she is featured with a couple of new products, I’ll let you know their item #’s so you can go directly to that page and get a peek....I think one item is a doggy bed, and a bamboo gate.... Thank you again for such a wonderful puppy, she is such a joy, and fits our lifestyle perfectly, can’t imagine our life without her now..... Sincerely, JoAnn p.s., a lady wanted your name and website to see the puppies you had, we were at an ice cream shop and Pebbles was playing with her granddaughter, everyone thought Pebbles was quite a little sweetheart! The woman lives around Appleton, so I hope she gets in touch with you......I gave her your information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pebbles will be getting her first haircut soon, will send a picture....she’s doing great! Are you going to post her picture and my note, I sure don’t mind if you do! Hope all is well, we’re preparing for our heat wave that’s coming this weekend....finally! take care, JoAnn |

| Havanese Added 5/14/2013       Hi Janice and Wayne, It is hard to believe we have only had Twinkle a little over a week! She is developing and fitting into the family so quickly. She absolutely loves her big sister Luna, a 1 1/2 year old Havanese that looks so much like her (got her from a different breeder). Twinkle even rang the bell on the door to go out a couple times and now Luna is ringing the bell too even though we never had one when she was a puppy. Twinkle's health checked out great! She is eating up a storm and we have successfully moved her on to Fromms Chicken ala veg dogfood. Twinkle loves to hike in the woods and be burried in the leaves. She sleeps through the night in her crate just fine but takes naps durring the day up on the comfy bed with Luna. Rawhide and tendons are her favorite as well as all Luna's stuffed animals. She sleeps with a little stuffed skunk that looks just like her. Twinkle can even run up stairs and she is only 10 weeks old! I will keep you posted and thank you so much for our sweet little girl. Elizabeth Gauger and family :) Hi Janice and Wayne, I wanted to give a report on puppy Twinkle. She is now four and a half months and doing so well! She and Luna (now a little over a year and a half), have bonded remarkably and play for hours together every day and insist on both sleeping in my lap at the same time. Twinkle is almost as big as Luna (over 10 lbs) and everyone thinks they are twins even though they are not related. My "twinnies" have matching coats and are show stoppers wherever they go. Both will be in dog training next month and will hopefully learn basic commands. Twinkle is very food driven and eats like a horse but the vet says her weight is good. She will be spayed soon. She had a severe reaction to her final puppy shot and the new holistic vet thinks it was the Lepto. Since Havanese can be sensitive to this, it was recommended that they not get this one. She will have titers from now on to see what shots she will need in the future as well as being pre medicated prior to the Rabies and watched after she gets it. Please feel free to include this as well as the attached photos on your web site! Thanks, Elizabeth Gauger and family |

| Havaton Added 1/22/2013  Hello and Happy Holidays to the Muellers!!! |

| Havaton Added 1/22/2013   We just wanted to let you know that Emmy (Zabrina) has adjusted to her forever home very well. Everyone who sees her, falls in love with her, and comments on how social and loving she is. She is very free with her puppy kisses, and will snuggle with anyone who will pick her up. Our 3 granddaughters always ask about her when we talk on the phone and when we SKYPE, they have to see Emmy and send her kisses. She is now 15 weeks old, 4 lbs 10oz, and eating like a little piggy. She had her first haircut on Saturday, and now looks so grown-up. I hardly recognized her when I picked her up from the groomers! She has learned to sit, shake paw, and will play fetch as long as someone is willing to throw to her. Having had an older, arthritic Maltese for the last 12 years, we had forgotten about the energy a puppy can display, but she has such a wonderful personality that one can’t help but play with her as long as she wants. She is registered for puppy classes that start next week, as we are hoping to channel some of her enthusiasm. Again thank-you for raising such a wonderful puppy. We have been singing the praises of Mueller’s Woodville Kennels every time someone asks where we found our latest addition to the family. Debby |

| Havaton Added 10/3/2012   Hi Janice & Wayne, I hope you are having a nice summer! I just thought I would send you a few updated photos of Harvey. He's been such a wonderful addition to our family! He & our Mastiff Morgan are best buddies and are inseparable. He has quite the personality and is a huge hit with our friends & family. Thanks so much! Jessica & Ryan   Hi Wayne & Janice, Thanks again for meeting with Ryan & I so quickly yesterday. I just had to let you know that little Harvey has quickly made his way into our hearts. He is a wonderful little guy and he's making himself right at home. I had to share these photos with you, of Harvey and our mastiff Morgan cuddling today. They have become best buddies already. Thanks again, we'll send more photos as he gets older. Jessica & Ryan |

| Havaton Added 12/28/2011    Muellers - We wanted to send you an update on our 7-month-old puppy, Ivy. She is a Havaton that we brought home on 8/28/10. Our 10-year-old daughter wanted a little dog that she could pick up and Ivy is the perfect size. Our 8-year-old son likes Ivy's size, too. We were concerned that a little dog would be too barky, but Ivy is not barky at all. She has a wonderful temperament that is actually similar to that of a Labrador retriever. She has everyone in our family wrapped around her little paw. We just love her and are so happy that we found your place that sells Havatons. We feel that we lucked into getting a Havaton because we didn't even know what one was before we were referred to your place by friends with a Cockapoo. Everywhere we go people comment on how cute and friendly Ivy is. She is well-behaved and good with our kids. Muellers - thanks so much for our puppy! Susan, Brian, Sarah, and David |

| Havanese Added 12/28/2011   Hello guys! I just thought I'd send a couple of pictures (for some reason I must do multiple e-mails as it's not letting me attach more than one picture) and an update. Bentley continues to have some accidents, but nothing that time won't fix. Sometimes I fear that he's going to have an accident when playing with Reggie, but he always remembers to get to the back door in time to get outside. He is continuing to sleep through the night (yeah!) and thunderstorms (yeah again!). He has done a little more barking recently, but only when he's excited and is playing around. Right now they are sleeping by each other. Reggie is so protective of his little brother. Always wondering where he is and keeping an eye on him, but not to the point that it's too much. So cute! He seems to be growing a bit taller as well, as expected. Haven't weighed him since I brought him home, so I should do that. Until I send more, Marlene |

| Havanese Added 12/28/2011  Hi Janice, Just thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that our little Bogey is the love of our lives. He has such a great personality. He's so smart...still ringing his bell to poddy and doing many tricks. We take him up to our camper and he loves to play with all the other dogs! We'll have him for one year in November and can't imagine our lives without him. Thanks. Doug and Renee |

Havanese Added 6/27/2011 Hi Chris and Shauney and the Muellers!! Just wanted to send this pic your way. This is LeRoy (our 2 year old Shih-poo (originally called Hamlet) we got from Chris and Shauney) and Maxwell (we call him Max - this was Alec) who we got from the Muellers(!). We've had Max for just over 2 weeks and it's amazing how quickly he took to his new surroundings, his new family and of course, his new brother, LeRoy. They get along just great (both still trying to figure out who's boss!!) but definately, bro's for life!! I'll keep you posted on more pics as they come but loved this one and wanted to share it with all of you. Thanks so much for the wonderful pets that become part of our family!! Heidi |

Havanese Added 6/27/2011    Hello Janice and Wayne, Here are a few pictures of Nemo. He is doing very well on his potty training and is getting along good with our cats. He is very smart and full of energy. He is a wonderful little dog. He likes to chase the cats but is learning respect from our female cat, Nicki. She doesn't put up with his antics like our male car, Wally does. He is just part of our pack. I can't wait for it to be nice outside because he really likes to play out in the yard and has play dates with other dogs in the neighborhood. Thank you so much for our little Nemo. Laure |

Havanese Added 1/17/2011 Hi.. Just wanted to give you an update on Jack.... He is doing fabulously!! My daughter recently put a video of him digging in a mud puddle on Youtube.com and the producers of Animals Planet contacted us to use the video in there next production of America's Cutest Dogs II!!! No guarantee that they will use it, but I thought it was pretty cool that they contacted us because they thought Jack was so cute. I've attached the link below for you to view. We can't go anywhere without people commenting on how cute he is. His training is going well and Mack (Maltese/Bichon) and Jack are getting along very well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W74Ye8RI68c Enjoy the rest of the summer... Beth~ |

Havanese Added 9/7/2010   Hi Muellers! Finally I am getting around to sending some pictures of the dogs. I got Verdel in October 09 from your first litter of the havatons. (Black and white) I absolutely love him to death. He is so spoiled and he knows it! He knows how to sit, shake, and roll over so far. He catches on pretty quickly. He is also a very protective dog, I think he may think he is bigger than what he is! He just turned one year old August 15th. He weighs 8 lbs and is full of energy! I love him so much! Thank you! I also am attaching a couple pictures of my mom's dog Desi who she also got from you in August of 09. He is the Havanese and I think he was born in April of 09. He is super sweet and smart too, he even knows how to "play dead." It's so cute. Desi and Verdel are best friends. We love them so very much. Thank you again!!! Tara |

Havaton Added 6/29/2010   Just thought I would give you a brief update on Jaden. Jaden has truly become a fun addition to the family. Can you believe that we have Jaden trained pretty well after 1 week using the jingle bell system on the patio door for going outside to relieve herself? By Friday of last week, Jaden was already sleeping through the night (10 p.m. -- 5 a.m.) in her small kennel. We put the small kennel in our room, and she can hear us and takes comfort in that. She is eating real well and loves to run around in our back yard. Jaden loves to chew on the kids backpack straps and their shoe laces. We had her to the vet last Tuesday, and she was given a healthy report. She got a Lyme Disease vaccination, since we have ravine/wooded backyard with deer frequently seen. My husband has 15 days off of work, so he is taking care of Jaden during the day. He takes her all over in his truck, and she sits so nice on the seat for him. Everyone is doing their part to take care of Jaden and really enjoy snuggling with her in the evening. Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!!  We took Jaden to the groomer yesterday. She is almost 14 weeks old. When I picked her up, I hardly recognized her. She looked so cute and different! She loves to chew on our shoes. The kids and I take her on walks twice a day. We take her along to the baseball and softball games and everyone wants to pet her. She is the main attraction where ever we go. Everyone in our family has become very attached to Jaden and can't imagine our lives without her. Dianne |

Havanese Added 6/29/2010   Dear Janice,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you. Yes by all means add photos and anything you would like to your testimonial page! Here is a picture since Benson's hair cut.He had his rabies shot and is due to be neutered on the 25Th of February. He is WONDERFUL and has the sweetest personality ever. My other dog has accepted him and they play non-stop!He weighed in at 10 pounds 2 ounces but since the haircut he's probably closer to 10 pounds!
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to add to my family. I look forward to many years of joy with both my "children"!
Sincerely, Mary |

Added 2/2/2010  Hi Janice & Wayne Benji is an amazing puppy, he hasn't met any one or any animal he doesn't like. It's a good thing he likes other dogs because both our son & daughter have big black labs. He really enjoys playing with our grand children. We took him to the vet on Thursday & he now weighs 4.50 pounds. Thanks for a healthy, well socialized puppy. Estelle |

   Hi Janice, I just wanted to let you know that Sebastien is settling in well here at our house. We tried trimming him but ended up having to chop off most of his hair.... he is still adorable and sweet as ever!!! Here is a link to some photos of Sebastien & Bruno. They are getting along great. Thank you so much. http://www.flickr.com/photos/meljoytempel/sets/72157605273668949/ Melissa |

 Hi Janice, Happy New Year. I wanted to send you a current picture of Gracie. She just had her first haircut and the groomer said she was perfectly calm for the whole ordeal. Gracie has learned the potty routine very well. Even though the weather has been snowy and very cold we have had very few accidents. She has brought us a lot of laughs and happiness. Sincerely, Betty |
