When children, most of us think growing up to become famous television actors or movie stars or major league baseball players or possibly even fairy princesses. Other kids imagine becoming doctors, or lawyers, or maybe even President. However for others still, especially those who love animals, imagine a path that keeps them in close contact with the creatures they so love and revere. While this takes some animal lovers into zoology or animal psychology, or even veterinary medicine, many others decide to enter the breeding and animal raising business. For me, this meant making my career out of Havanese puppy care. Even since I first fell in love with the breed, I began writing books and articles about this cute little toy standard and, I have even tried my hand at raising the little critters although it would appear I am better suited for the academic – not practical – side of the trade. Regardless, I still own two Havanese dogs and I look forward to a long and fruitful career of educating the masses about my favorite –and hopefully your favorite – breed of dog.
