Hieronder leest u de felicitaties die wij mochten ontvangen n.a.v Willy's 12-de verjaardag op 17 oktober, 2006:
Below you can read the many congratulations we received for Willy's 12-th birthday:
(at first a few Dutch ones, and then the many from the other countries)

Nog altijd even onweerstaanbaar, knap en atletisch gebouwd.....Niet te zien dat je alweer een jaartje ouder bent.
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd!
Liefs van Bert en Esther.
Proficiat met Willem namens ons en twee van zijn achterkleinkinderen Harry (Floor-Bonnie) & Carly (Tikkie Tikkel-Spekkie).
Wij hopen dat er nog een mooie tijd aan Willems rijke leven mag worden toegevoegd.
Groetjes,
Walther & Mieke Kitzmann
Hiep hiep Hoeeraaaaaaaaaa. Van harte met Willy. Geef hem maar een gehaktbal van ons, dan wordt hij wel 20 jaar. He is wild, he is Willyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Geniet maar van hem. Hij blijft onze topper. Er komt nooit geen betere die Willy kan verslaan in de show, en voor het nageslacht. Hij leeft voort in zijn nawerk. Als wij er niet meer zijn, spreekt men nog over hem. Dan zegt men, ken je Willy... Ken je hem niet, dan weet je niks van het ras.
Groetjes, Piet en Nel.
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met Willy's 12-de verjaardag.
Ik hoop uit de grond van mijn hart dat hij de 13 zal halen.
Groetjes, Mia, Amigo en Poes.
Gefeliciteerd met Willy.
Ik hoop dat jullie nog lang van Willy kunnen genieten. Doe Willy maar een dikke knuffel van mij. Jullie hebben geweldige honden, zien er goed uit.
groetjes, Diana v.d. Heuvel. (ik kijk altijd even op jullie site)
Van harte gefeliciteerd met jullie Willy.
Hij is echt beeldschoon.
En beterschap met hem.Ik hoop dat hij beter wordt, en kan genieten van zijn oude dag.
Willy zet hem op , op naar de 13 jaar.
Alina
Gefeliciteerd met broer Willyman.
Groetjes broer Bopper, Annelies en Folkert

Jij was mijn éérste kennismaking met het havanezerras en ik was meteen verkocht.
Zó stoer, zó lief, zó macho, zó veel...
Nu je een dagje ouder aan het worden bent, moet je maar denken: "Dan maar wat minder achter 'de dames' aan" en flink genieten van de privileges die je nu hebt. Op naar het volgende jaar!
Liefs Sigrid en een poot van BeeBop, Floor, Boris en J-Lo
Ik vond het droevige nieuws dat Willy ziek is. Ik wil jullie veel sterkte toewensen en we hopen dat jullie mooie jongen toch nog lang bij jullie zal blijven.
Ook namens kleindochter Nona en achterkleinkinderen Coolio and Cammy-Sue.
Groetjes,
Anja van Haarlem

Happy Birthday, Willie and wild doggie kisses and hugs to you on your 12th birthday.
You were really the first ever havanese I ever 'knew' or learned anything about thanks to the generosity of your hu-folks. And yes I have you back of some of my dogs I am proud to say. You're a keeper, Willie and I know Mirabell and Rene have kept you close and well.
Enjoy your birthday, old man...

I have heard so much about this boy, and thru a person in the States hoped to get something descended from him.
I am so sorry he has been ill. What is wrong??? I do hope he lives many more years loved and cuddled with you.
Happy birthday, Willy.
Ann Sherman
I just looked at the pictures, his birthday pix. He is still beautiful and seeing these pictures, I am even more disappointed that I wasn't able to get something sired by, or him a grandsire, by him.
Please give him a hug for me.

I wish a very very happy birthday to the great-grandfather of my Vackor!!!!!
He looks so sweet and beautiful on the pictures that I just cannot believe he is so ill... poor little one, it is so sad to learn that he has problems with his health... I hope he can get better and will be able to stay with you for years.
You can be extremely proud of him as he gave a LOT to the breed! Give the old boy extra hugs and kisses from us (I know you give him a lot simply because his look is irresistible ;o) )!

A very Happy Birthday to Willy!!!
Hello my name is Kelly Chaffee, I live in the USA.
I thought you would enjoy seeing a couple pictures of one of Willy's grand-puppy's.
These pictures are of CH Heartlands Irish Mocha Cream (Moggy).
Moggy was bred by Kevin and Sandy McCabe and is out of CH Mucho Bravo Heartland's Pied Piper.
He is owned my brother and sister-in-law.
Moggy is one of my all time favorite Havanese and has an absolutely adorable personality. He's such a little comedian, he likes to poke you with his nose to get your attention.
I have been priveleged to put both of his majors on him for his american championship and I just adore the little guy!

Enjoy!

Many loving thoughts for Willy.
I think most ALL of my kids go back to Willy so we are giving them all hugs and thinking of Willy. He has given the Havanese breed so much. My boy D'Va's Prince in White Armor-EdDee who received an AOM at the Nationals is a Great Great grandson of Willy on his sire's side.
Willy has contributed many beautiful attributes to the breed and will be sadly missed. Give him sweet whispers and gentle hugs of our love.
Love and hugs ..

It's been many years since we have spoken (emailed) but my heart goes out to you and Willy at this sad and precious time. He is an outstanding specimen of the breed and will always be remembered by all.
Please accept my thoughts and prayers for you all.

I am so sorry to hear the news about Willy. He has had such a wonderful life and contributed so much to the breed, not only in Europe but in America as well. No matter how long they live, it's never long enough. Enjoy every moment of the last months, weeks and days that you have Willy with you.

What a very special boy your are Willy! Have a happy birthday and feel better.

I hope you have a wonderful, special day today. Thank you for your grandson, Mucho Bravo Kaboodle de Payasa. He has your sweet personality and is a truly enjoyable dog.

Your boy has contributed so much to the breed.
Happy Birthday to a beautiful boy.
You know our prayers are with him and you as yours and his journey are on a path that no one could predict. Lets hope that he is not in any pain and will continue to remain you companion for some time to come. You are such a wonderful mother and you know that he has had such a wonderful life and is enjoying every day of it with you. God will give both of you strength.
Elaine Cirimele
He does indeed look as handsome as ever!
We wrote to each other a few days ago & I mentioned that Willy is behind my Jenny (CH ERAS Camelots Hope of 3VS). Willy is a great-great-grandparent to my best girl. This is Jenny at 2 years old.
I can certainly see the family resemblance! Jenny too has the sweetest disposition, as does her littermate Artie (ERAS Camelot's King Happy Day)!

I thank you for the contribution Willy has made to the Havanese world.
Jenny's presence in my life means everything to me & would not have been possible without Willie!
I'm sad to know that Willy is ill, & heartbroken for you & Rene. It's wonderful that you are able to celebrate his birthday today! I know how much that must mean to you. My thoughts & prayers are with you, your family, & of course, Willy.
All my best to you & yours,

Sorry about Willy...glad he was able to celebrate his 12th birthday!
Poppy will be 15 in March and also has mitral insufficiency now but she's doing pretty well and only is on enalapril. She showed in the veteran bitch class at the National and got a 2nd place in a class where the others were not over 9...I was so proud of her...she strutted her stuff!

What a handsome boy !! It's hard to believe he's 12 yrs. old
Happy Birthday Willy !
It sadness me to hear how sick he is and it amazes me how much patience a dog has even when not feeling well.

I have Jenny's brother, Artie, ERAS Camelot's King at Happy Day, who is just the most lovable guy there is. Artie was "Mr. January" on this years Havanese calendar, and works the HRI rescue booths with me, giving hugs to everyone who stops by. I also have Woody, CH 3VS CAL Dreamin' at Happy Day, who is a Jenny son. So I have both a great-great and a great-great-great grandson of Wild Willy....and I can't imagine my life without them.
I am so thankful to Willy for his contributions to our happy little breed, and hope his sunset years are filled with nothing but peace and happiness.
Thank you so much.
Here's my favorite picture of my Artie Parti boy, and Woody's championship picture. Woody became a champion on October 1st of this year.
All the best

Yes, he is still gorgeous!
We hope he will get past whatever illness he is fighting and will be with you for years to come.
Give him a happy birthday hug from us, and we've got two kids with Willie in their pedigrees....

Best wishes to Wild Willy on celebrating his 12th birthday!
But it saddens us so to hear he is not doing well :(
I don't know if I ever told you, but finding & seeing Wild Willy's pictures on the internet about 5 years ago is why we wanted a Havanese. We then found Sandy & Kevin McCabe who had Piper and that is where we got our Anton from who is a Wild Willy great-grandpup. We fell in love with Piper and bred Jewelee to him and that gave us our Adam. So Adam would be Willy's grandpup. We also now have a little almost 11 month old bitch puppy that I think looks a great deal like Willy, she would be his great-great grandpup, but his traits can definitely be seen in her. I've attached a couple of pictures of her when she was a little puppy and a couple taken a couple months ago, she has already changed a bit more and actually looks quite a bit like Willy now, and her coat feels and looks like what I imagine Willy's is like. Also, I've always thought that the beautiful faces we get in our puppies have come from Wild Willy.
I wish Willy the best and hope you can hold on to him for quite a bit longer before Our Lord calls his little Wild Willy Angel back home. We are blessed with them for such a short period of time, and it just goes to show how special these precious angels are because it seems they are needed and wanted in heaven as well--and way too soon also.
Please give Willy a hug for us all from the Tovia Havanese Gang, and rest assured his progeny proudly and graciously will always live on!

Renee Weber
I'm soooooo sorry about Willy. He has always been my very favorite Havanese.
I think he has done more for this breed than many others combined.
Please give him lots of extra hugs and snuggles for all of us. He's given so many of us sooooooo much.
