Havanese

Adorably charming and full of life, the Havanese is a toy dog breed that comes from Cuba yet has been embraced by people around the globe. This pup’s long, luxurious coat comes in many patterns and colors and can be silky or fluffy! Friendly to both owners and strangers alike, they are incredibly affable – sometimes even tending towards attachment issues like separation anxiety with their beloved humans. Ideal for companionship or as therapy/assistance dogs; these pocket-sized pooches will warm your heart wherever you go.

The Havanese is not just lively, but also exceptionally bright. They enjoy devising their own games to play with you and are quite resistant to becoming too demanding if occasionally indulged. Once nearly extinct in Cuba, the Havanese has made a comeback and become a popular companion across the world – a feat similar to his popular cousins: Bichon Frise, Maltese, and Coton de Tulear.

The Havanese’s coat is a time-consuming task and may require professional grooming. Although they don’t shed much, it doesn’t mean that this breed will not cause allergies. To make sure you are making the best decision for your lifestyle, try to spend as much quality time with these dogs before bringing one home if you are prone to allergic reactions.

Not only is he fond of children, cats, and other canines but also incredibly tranquil for such a tiny pup. Just bear in mind that this canine must not be alone too often as they require camaraderie all their life. The Havanese will make an outstanding family pet and while it needs to always be kept in check so the 10-15 pound dog does not get injured by overzealous playing, these adorable dogs are widely known for loving to play with kids.

With its intelligent nature and disposition to make people happy, the Havanese is a delight in training. This pup excels at obedience competitions with ease due to their history of circus skills that are well-suited for agility runs!

Havanese are naturally close to their families, a trait that has been instilled in them since they were bred as loyal companions. Their size is just right for travel and RVing or condos – not too large and yet still plenty of energy! Plus, you won’t be dealing with any yapping or whining from these pups while on the go. Havanese make ideal travel buddies who will provide hours of joy during your adventures.
