HAVANESE
The National Dog of Cuba and the country’
s only native breed, the Havanese is a
small, sturdy dog with a friendly
disposition. His wavy, silky coat is
profuse, but remains extremely light,
insulating and protecting the breed against
harsh tropical heat. His coat, which comes
in all colors, should remain untrimmed.
The Havanese’s popularity in the show
ring has grown quickly, and they are also
now high in demand as a family pet.
A Look Back
An old breed, the Havanese is a
descendent of breeds brought to Cuba
from Spain and could also be related to the
Tenerife, an ancestor of the entire Bichon
family. Once known as the Havana Silk
Dog and the Spanish Silk Poodle, the
Havanese evolved from its role as a
pampered lap-dog of the aristocracy into a
family companion responsible for being a
watchdog, child’s playmate and herder of
the family’s poultry flock.
Right Breed for You?
The Havanese is trainable and intelligent
and possesses a naturally affectionate
temperament, which making the breed an
ideal family pet. Although a toy dog, they
remain energetic and require some form
of daily exercise. The breed’s non-
shedding coat makes it suitable for allergy
sufferers, but regular grooming is
necessary to keep the coat in top
condition.
