So what's with this comb-over thing? The Havanese is not supposed to be parted, but some judges care about that, and some don't. Now people don't seem to count this 'rump comb-over' as a part. If spectators can see it from outside the ring, and can even see the change in hair pattern, then ask "why does that dog's hair go over his butt?" why can't the judge? The only Havanese that you see it on have a level topline, or it levels out when they move, or have handlers that think they need to do this, so this is the handler's way of giving them a rise in the topline. The thing is Judges, do you really not see this part on the non show side of these dogs that brings the hair up and over the rump? or do you choose to ignore it? If you saw it, did you not wonder why they would bring the hair up and over? Maybe you are the same judges that can't tell, or again choose to ignore, the dogs that have had their topnots thinning-sheared, back-combed, and sprayed into place so that even Hurricane Earl couldn't mess it up.
