Meet Ardie - Our Distinguished Gentleman
Picture a Havanese with the refined elegance of a Victorian gentleman - complete with an imaginary bowler hat, monocle, and walking cane - and you've got our beloved Ardie. This distinguished fellow embodies everything wonderful about the Havanese temperament with his own special brand of class and charm.
A True Gentleman at Heart
Ardie is what we like to call our "people dog." He absolutely adores his cuddles and has the softest, most loving temperament you could ask for in a companion. Whether you're having a quiet evening at home or need a gentle friend by your side, Ardie is there with his calm, affectionate presence. His loving nature makes him an ideal family dog who bonds deeply with everyone in the household.
Your Four-Legged Security System
Don't let his gentle demeanor fool you - Ardie takes his job as household doorbell very seriously! He has that perfect Havanese balance of being alert and protective without being yappy or aggressive. When visitors arrive, you'll know about it, but his announcement comes from a place of caring rather than aggression. He's simply looking out for his family, as any proper gentleman would.
From Show Ring to Sofa King
Ardie had a promising start in the show world as a youngster, earning some lovely wins and showing real potential in the ring. But as he matured, this wise fellow decided that the show life just wasn't for him. Like many dogs, he made it clear that he'd much rather spend his time doing what Havanese do best - being a beloved family companion and professional couch warmer.
We always say that our dogs tell us what they want to do, and Ardie spoke loud and clear: "Thanks, but I'll take the easy life, please!" And honestly, we couldn't be happier with his choice. He's living his best life as our resident gentleman, spreading joy and cuddles wherever he goes.
The Perfect Havanese Ambassador
Ardie represents so much of what makes the Havanese breed special - their adaptability, their deep bond with their families, and their innate ability to read what their people need. Whether that's a playful moment, a quiet cuddle, or just his reassuring presence nearby, Ardie delivers it all with the grace of a true gentleman.
At Aare Havanese, we believe every dog has their own path to happiness. Ardie chose the path of comfort, love, and leisure - and we couldn't be prouder of our distinguished gentleman.
