The Havanese is related to the Bichon Frise and
may be referred to as the Bichon Havanese or as the Havana Silk Dog. Havanese are known as the National Dog of Cuba. They
are a happy, outgoing, small dog whose temperament and trainability have made them excellent candidates for obedience training.
Havanese cannot miss what is going on around them, so you may find them sitting somewhere high. They are shy and slightly
aloof with strangers, but warm up to their owners plenty. They can be quite vocal as they love the sound of their own voice.
They are charming, intelligent and sophisticated in appearance. Havanese are alert, making them good watch dogs. They have
been known to guard children, displaying their loving and devoted personalities. They live long lives, are sturdy in strength,
and possess a kind spirite. They attach to their owners easily, making them "fantastic little friends." Havanese
are a small dog in the Toy category. They have small, but well muscled bodies, covered in profuse soft fur. They can have
a little bit of a shaggy appearance, but when brushed, have a distinguished look about them. They have furrowed eyebrows and
a beard, the same length as the rest of their fur. They can be a bouquet of colors as well, ranging from cream, gold, silver,
blue, black and chocolate, which is sometimes called "tobacco brown". They do need moderate grooming, but no trimming
or coiffing is required. Havanese are gentle, kind little dogs that are ideal for owners who want a little buddy to follow
the around.
