Havanese Breeders

Havanese

The Havanese is a small dog related to the same ancestor as that of the Bichon Frise. It originated in the Mediterranean and was brought from there to Cuba. It was named after the city of Havana and was very popular. The Havanese is a small but sturdy dog. It is very friendly, happy, and has an adorable personality. They are outgoing and train easily. Havanese dogs love people and find children entertaining and great playmates. They require low to moderate exercise and can often get the amount of needed daily exercise by playing around indoors within the home. Their coat is wavy, and has a slight curl to it. It is soft and comes in a combination of colors. Daily brushing is needed to avoid tangling. They stand at 8 to 11 inches at the withers and weigh an average of 7 to 13 pounds. Due to their high trainability and outgoing personality, they do well as therapy dogs, and as obedience and agility competitors. Prized family members, these are truly wonderful canine companions.
