📍Windy Hill - 바람의 언덕

[release-the-hound]

since you're kind of The Havanese Person, do these breeders look ok to you? I don't wanna get a puppy from someone who only cares about money

Jangle Havanese

Mariposa Havanese

Windyhill Havanese

Bare minimum OFA screening for Havanese: ACVO Eye Exam (valid for 1 year), Patellar Luxation, Hip Dysplasia

My personal list adds: BAER Hearing, Cardiac Evaluation

Bonus Tests: Elbow Dysplasia, Legg-Calve-Perths, Von Willebrands, CDDY/IVDD, CDP

Things to ask every breeder: how are puppies selected for families (if you get to pick based on color, that's a red flag). What are the CHIC numbers of the parents (if these are not given to you, or the health results are subpar, or the eye exams are out of date, that's a red flag). When can you take a puppy home (if it is less than 8 weeks old that's a red flag). What is the temperament of their dogs, what activities do they do (as a companion dog, they often go to homes that don't compete in dog sports, but I would expect at least some of the dogs produced by a breeder to do obedience, rally, therapy work, maybe agility or trick training etc.), what are the temperaments of their dogs, what are the goals of their breeding programs?

Jangle Havanese is run by the President of the Havanese Club of America. I'm not privy to that inner circle, but I haven't heard of any scandals involving her. Does more than the basic 3 health testing. 5 year health guarantee.

Things to look into: how does she socialize/raise her puppies

Mariposa Havanese raise dogs using Puppy Culture. Breeders can successfully socialize/raise puppies without using PC specifically, but that is an easy green flag for me. Is up front about which health issues to be wary of. Has a good little write-up on the history of the breed (although it's a bit whitewashed in regards to colonization, but truly the bar is on the floor). Has a long history with the Havanese Club of America. Does more than the basic 3 health tests.

Things to look into: are the eye exams of her breeding dogs up to date, would she expect a dog you could no longer care for to be returned to her, are her dogs vaccinated before they go to their homes

I wouldn't buy from Windyhill even though they do more than the basic 3 health testing. Eye issues keep popping up in their lines.

Disclaimer: this is not comprehensive, I am not a Havanese breeder or a dvm or a geneticist. I am not a member of the AKC. I'm very sleepy.

These opinions are formed exclusively from looking at breeder websites and the CHIC database. My next step would be looking through a breeder's facebook for other indications such as positive/negative interactions with other dog breeders and puppy buyers. Anti-vax shenaniganery. Are they doing stuff with their dogs. Are they decent people or are they like.. trump supporters.

Final step would be reaching out to a breeder and seeing if they are producing the kind of dog you want, and if you are capable of giving their dogs the kind of home they want to give their puppies to.

This is not comprehensive. It is judgemental and vibes based.

I will again emphasize that eye exams should be done yearly and definitely be done prior to breeding the dogs. not after they've already produced offspring.

Getting a Havanese may be difficult, but I'm here to help, and I promise it's worth it 💙

I have never once regretted waking up with Whim next to me.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Chair Windyhill, 1901

[scotianostra]

The Scottish architect and designer  Charles Rennie Mackintosh died on Monday 10th December 1928, with a pencil in his hand. 

As the visionary architect responsible for its re-design and re-build, Mackintosh not only transformed The Glasgow School of Art into world-renowned academy, but also put Scotland firmly on the map as a center of creativity and hub for art and design.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was born in Glasgow on 7th June 1868, the 4th child of a policeman, William, and his wife, Margaret Rennie. There were eventually 11 children born to the couple, though 4 of them died whilst still young. He was born with a contracted sinew in one foot, which made him limp as he grew older.

He first went to school at the age of 7 and after 2 years transferred to a private school for the children of artisans. He seems to have been fairly poor at traditional ‘reading, writing and arithmetic’, and suffered from dyslexia, leading to poor spelling, for which he became known in later life. He is thought however to have been good at art from an early stage.

While generally associated with the art nouveau style, Mackintosh rejected such comparisons and did not feel part of the 19th-century art nouveau European style represented by Guimard, Horta, van der Velde, or Gaudi, and little of their sinuous "whiplash" curvilinear expression is to be seen in Mackintosh's work. He sought to unite natural forms, especially those deriving from plants and flowers, with a new architectural and design vocabulary that set him well apart from the mainstream of architects who looked to Greece, Rome, and Egypt for inspiration from the antique. His marriage to a talented artist-designer, Margaret Macdonald (1864-1933), and the marriage of her sister, Frances, to Mackintosh's close friend Herbert McNair led to the formation of a brilliantly creative group, clearly led by Mackintosh, known variously as "The Four" or "The Spook School."

Considerable attention was focussed on the work of Mackintosh and the "Glasgow Style" artists and designers who had come from the School of Art. In 1900 Mackintosh and his friends were invited to create a room complete with furnishings at the Vienna Secession exhibition. This created huge interest, and the Mackintoshes were lionized when they went to Vienna. Their exhibition display had a direct influence on the development of the Wiener Werkstatte formed shortly thereafter by Josef Hoffmann. Hoffmann and Mackintosh were close friends, and Hoffmann visited Glasgow twice to see Mackintosh's work, as did the influential critic Hermann Muthesius and the Werkstatte's patron, Fritz Wärndorfer. "The Four" exhibited widely in Europe, both together and individually, and Mackintosh received commissions for furniture from patrons in Berlin, Vienna, and elsewhere in Europe.

In Glasgow Mackintosh's greatest public exposure was through the creation of a number of restaurants, the tea rooms of his most enduring patron, Kate Cranston. The tea rooms provided a wonderful opportunity for Mackintosh to put into practice his belief that the architect was responsible for every aspect of the commissioned work. At The Willow Tea Room (1903) he converted an existing interior into a remarkable dramatic and elegant series of contrasting interiors with furniture, carpet, wall decor, light fittings, menu, flower vases, cutlery, and waitresses' wear all designed by Mackintosh to create a harmonious whole, implementing the idea of totally integrated art-architecture. It is said that Mackintosh used to go to the Room de Luxe at The Willow just before it opened for morning coffee to arrange the flowers and ensure the perfection of his creation!

Surprisingly, despite Mackintosh's fame in Europe and the numerous articles in, for example, The Studio magazine devoted to his work, he never became a dominant force in Glasgow architecture. He created the private house Windyhill in 1901, a number of tea rooms, many works of decorative art and furniture, and other architectural conversions but never had the opportunity to create a second masterpiece after the School of Art and in the manner of Hoffmann's success with the Palais Stoclet in Brussels (1905) which owes so much to Mackintosh's influence. The dramatic designs for the huge International Exhibition in Glasgow in 1901 were rejected as too radical, and his entries for other competitions—for example, Liverpool Cathedral—were unsuccessful. His direct influence on European architecture came not by examples but by suggestions, notably the distribution of a full-color lithographic portfolio of "Designs for the House of an Art-Lover", which was never built.

The Hill House of 1902 is the best example of Mackintosh's domestic architectural style and interior and has survived virtually intact. The Mackintoshes' own house, complete with its furnishings, has been brilliantly recreated at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow , while his Glasgow School of Art has undergone extensive restoration of its interiors and collection 

Mackintosh left Glasgow in 1915 for reasons never exactly clear but associated with a notable lack of commissions and the general building slump occasioned by the onset of World War I. He moved to England and journeyed to France and created a sumptuous series of watercolors of the landscape and flowers. Opportunities for a stylized series of flower forms to become widely-distributed printed textiles failed to materialize.

The famous flowing white-on-white interiors of the Glasgow period were replaced by geometric black-on-black interiors which clearly anticipated Art Deco in his final architectural commissions: 78 Derngate, Northampton, England, in 1915/1916, and the "Dug-Out" additions to the Willow Tea Room in Glasgow.

Mackintosh was a visionary designer and architect who had a professional influence on the development of the Modern movement. Although prolific during the height of his most creative years, 1896-1916, much of his work has been lost and the remainder is essentially confined to the city of Glasgow and surrounding region. Although completely neglected and largely ignored in the middle decades of this century, he has now been the subject of intense scrutiny and rediscovery. 

His furniture and textile designs are being produced with notable success, and in 1979 a writing desk he designed in 1901 for his own use reached the then world record price paid at auction for any piece of 20th-century furniture, £89,200. 

Now much admired and copied, he is seen as a central figure in the development of integrated art-architecture at the turn of the century and a seminal influence on many architects and designers of the Post Modern movement in the 1970s and 1980s. 

Charles Rennie Mackintosh died in distressed circumstances in London on this day  in 1928.  Mackintosh sadly lost his power of speech and reportedly died holding a pencil in his hand

. . There was a small ceremony at Golders Green crematorium, and while there was no notice in the Scottish press, The Times of London did appropriately acknowledge that "the whole modern movement in Europe looks to him as one of its chief originators."

An obituary did howver appear in the Glasgow Herald on December 15, it was a sloppy peice, they couldn’t even get where he passed away correct,  nor the age of Mackintosh, but it does give an insight into the contemporary view of his talent.
