Questions About My 5 Month Old Havanese Pup?

I have a 5 month old Havanese. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is an absolute sweetie, but I have a few questions about some things she does. First a bit of information…
She is scheduled to be spayed in August, when she is 6 months old. I have a 6 year old female spayed Bichon too and they are best friends. I rescued the Bichon at 8 months old. No previous puppy experience.
my questions are: she seems to be frightened of her reflection and barks at herself if she sees her reflection in the fridge, fireplace.. etc…Is this normal puppy behavior? She can be quite vocal around other dogs. I walk her regularly and have taken her to off leash parks, but due to my fear of bigger dogs attacking her, off leash is not my favorite place to go. Does she need to be socialized more? She chews my books if I do not put them up high enough. She has a lot of chew treats and toys, but books seem to be her favorite.
I have used the spray bottle thing when she barks, but she thinks its a game and loves water. I have the bitter yuk stuff and it works at times to prevent her from chewing stuff she shouldn’t. She is potty trained, knows sit, down, off, etc.
any input is greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance

Tell Me About A Havanese Please?

I just found out my daughter has dog allergies but I really want to get her a dog. I think it will be ok cuz she has been around dogs alot and has not showed any signs of problems. However she had a blood allergy test and it come up possitive for dogs. So I heard from some people that if the child doesn’t show symptoms of a dog allergy you can still get a dog but it has to by a hyperallergenic dog. I looked on the internet for dogs that might be ok I found a Havanese I found out they don’t shed are good with kids of all ages and easy to train. I was wondering if this is a good breed to stick with or if there is a better one with all the same qualities. Also if this is a good dog for me to stick with how much do they cost and can someone tell me a little more about them please.

Questions About Havanese…?

We are considering adopting a small dog and are looking at a havanese. [we will be adopting an adult dog, no puppies]
I have some questions about this breed:
1. How good are they with other dogs? Do they play with them a lot?
2. Are they submissive, generally, or dominant?
3. Are they smart or not-so-smart? Do they take to obedience training well?
4. Do they mind roughhousing? for ex, will they be tolerant of small children / a energetic household/ A lot of hustle and bustle? Or are they more snappish?
5. MOST IMPORTANT : How are havanese off leash? do they have good recall? Will they stay by your side or will they run off?
If you have any suggestions of another dog breed, please tell me! Most important is that the dog does not run away off leash. We won’t be necessarily adopting a purebred [more likely a mutt] but we just want to know the general characteristics.
please do not copy and paste from a website. Tell me your personal experience. THANKS!

What About A Havanese Mix?

I posted a question about a right dog for my family a while ago and someone mentioned the Havanese, I did a little research and they seem right. we are looking for a low shed-no shed dog, small, easy at training, and good with kids. I know they can be pricey and are pretty rare. So if I were to get a mix like a Coton de Tulear/Havanese or Maltese/Havanese would it be cheaper and would it affect what we are looking for greatly? Thanx for any help.
