RECONSIDER Early Spay/Neutering of your new puppy!
Only Pet Stores and high volume breeders must comply with NYC law to spay/neuter dogs before they are sold. Research shows there are negative health consequences for early spay neuter of puppies. You may wish to speak with your vet first. The AKC has a position paper on the subject. There are many resources on the web to find out more about this issue.

VISIT DOG SHOWS to meet with owner/breeder/handlers in the grooming area before the dogs are judged in the ring. On the weekend before Westminster, there are two shows worth visiting! Friday, February 7 and Saturday February 8, 2025 at the Hotel New Yorker in NYC are the Progressive Toy Dog Club shows. the Greater New York Havanese Club (Our club!) is providing rosettes and ribbons on Friday and prizes along with ribbons/rosettes on Saturday for class winners. We expect a lovely entry of Havanese for this prestigious event. You’ll be able to get close up and see the dogs being shown and visit the dogs in the grooming area.
The Westminster KC Dog Show brings to NY the top Havanese. Havanese breed judging is on Monday at the Javits Center. The time is to be announced. Visit the show and the benching area to meet with the Havanese.
Friday, Feb.7: Progressive Dog Show - Havanese will show in ring 3 at 9:30am Progressive Dog Show. 10 Havanese are entered, 3 competing for points towards their championship, and 7 champions competing for Best of Breed points.
Saturday, Feb. 8,Progressive Dog Show - Havanese will show in ring 3 at 9:00am after 13 dogs in 4 different toy breeds. That should push the havanese to about 9:20am. I wouldn’t get there any later in case there are fewer dogs ahead. There are 9 Havanese entered: 3 dogs competing for points towards their championship and 7 dogs competing for Best of Breed points.
We aren’t sure how many dogs will actually be there.
Since there are only 7 Havanese entered for judging at Westminster, we think it has had an effect on lowering the number of entries at these shows.
