Great photo!! We’ve had 2 Choc Labs. Our current guy (Mugsy) is 14 1/2 but still going strong!
That said, with an allergic child, a Havanese is a perfect choice for this family. They are really great dogs. But, I have to give it to The Messiah, he sounds like he would prefer a “proper” dog, as one of my Brit friends says.
Havanese is a Cuban breed, how appropriate.
