message: the caption of the photo says it shows the dog in a "puppy cut" which is preferred by many non-show-dog owners.  what other appearance would the dog have?

thread_title:  what does a show-dog havanese look like? 

message: The article on the Havana silk dog seems to be dealing with essentially the same breed, and is not nearly as complete.  Should we merge anything new out of that section into this one, and then redirect it here? EastTN (talk) 16:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Update They're effectively merged now, because I blanked Havana silk dog and redirected it here.  The article was nothing but copyvio, and older revisions of it were all like two or three words long.  So for the moment, it makes more sense to redirect it here and maybe include a couple sentences in here explaining the difference between the two.  If someone gets enough material to write a real article about "Havana silk dog," then they can reinstate that article....but only if there's enough to write a real article.  If someone plagiarizes there again I will kick their butt. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 02:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi,
Our Havanese seems over the last few months been scratching alot. Some say its dandruff, some say its dry skin.
Is there something that we can give our dog to reduce this scratching. She is bathed and combed on a regular basis but she still scratches alot. She must be very uncomfortable.
She is three years old and this only started in the last white.
Thanks for the help.

message: This is to the addition to the article page about, it seems, typical Havanese character trait called "run-like-hell". I post the entire excerpt here in case a few people can not access The New Yorker.
It is by Adam Gopnik, "Dog Story, How did the dog become our master?" of Aug 8, 2011. He got a Havanese for his daughter. He writes:
(pg 47) "But she had another side, too. At the end of a long walk, or a prance around the block, she would come in with her usual happy hop, and then, let off her leash, she would growl and hiss and make Ewok-like noises that we never otherwise heard from her; it was a little scary at first, like the moment in "Gremlins" when the cute thing become a wild, toothy one. Then (pg 48) she would race madly from one end of the hall to the other, bang her head, and turn around and race back, still spitting and snorting and mumbling guttural consonants to herself, like a mad German monarch. Sometimes she would climax this rampage by pulling up hard and shoiwng her canines and directing two sharp angry barks at Olivia, her owner, daring her to do something about it. Then, just as abruptly, Butterscotch would stop, sink to the floor, and once again become a sweet smiling companion, trotting loyally behind whoever got up first. The wolf was out; and then was tucked away in a heart-drawer of prudence. This behavior, Olivia assured us, is a Havanese breed trait, called "run-like-hell", though "Call of the Wild" might be a better name. (Olivia spent hours on the Havanese forum, a worldwide chat board composed mostly of older women who call themselves the small dogs' "mommies" and share a tone of slightly addled coziness, which Olivia expertly imitated....)"WHEELER (talk) 16:49, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Can I post a song I made up for Havanese?
It is sung to the music of "The Siamese Cat Song" from "Lady and the Tramp".
The lyrics are  ...
I am Havanese if you please
I am Havanese if you don't please
I am a former resident of Cuba
I was smuggled over in a Tuba
... that's all I got right now.

thread_title:  Official Havanese Song? 

message: There seems to be a dissonance between the intro, that states "Havanese will not thrive in an environment where they are isolated for several hours each day", and the Temperament section that pretty much states the opposite: "[...] does not mind spending time away from their owners, as they are very self entertaining dogs. The Havanese is an ideal dog to have in a low maintenance household. [...] They do not mind being kept outside as they are fine with playing with their toys".

thread_title:  Temperament 

message: It was suggested before, and the consensus seemed to be to redirect it here, but at some poibnt the article was recreated. I propose that Havana silk dog be merged or redirected here. Despite claims that it is a separate breed of dog from the Havanese, it is referred to here, here, here, here, here, and here as an alternate name for the Havanese. --TKK bark ! 15:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, merge the two articles, with a redirect from Havana silk dog. WP has an ingenious idea called "sections" which allows different aspects of the same subject to be described in a single article. Narky Blert (talk) 21:21, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I will be working on this article for the next couple of weeks for my Technical and Professional Editing class at Texas A&M University. I hope that my potential contributions, along with your welcomed suggestions for improvement, will help this article get one step closer to being classified as an A-class article. Here are some of my ideas:
* I believe the lead contains some great information in some areas, but, in others, provides too much detail that could be found in later sections. If it was revised to summarize only the most important parts of the article, it would give readers a better overview of the article's content.
* The "Description" sections contains some sentences that reflect opinions (for example, the first sentence describes the breed as sturdy but not overly delicate). With a more neutral point of view, the depth of the detail provided would really stand out.
* The same improvements could be applied to other sections, like the "Coat" section. These sections should be strictly informative to give readers an unbiased overview of the breed. A neutral description of the various types of Havanese coats would give this section a major boost.
* The "Temperament" sections needs additional citations. If anyone knows of any good articles to reference for this section, please share!
If anyone has any other ideas or objections - please feel free to disclose! I am open to all feedback and more than willing to work together to improve this article.
