Havanese Information
The Havanese is an old breed of the Bichon family. There are references to the ancestors of these dogs that go back to ancient times in the Mediterranean region.
The Havanese was also known as the Havana Silk Dog. The Havanese we have today descended from dogs that found a permanent home in Cuba, where they were popular among the wealthy. After the Cuban revolution in 1959, many of the dogs ended up in the United States.
Havanese are great family dogs and enjoy spending a great deal of time with their family. These are not dogs who do well being left alone for great lengths of time as they tend to crave companionship. A Havanese should never be considered to be an outdoor dog, regardless of the time of year.
The Havanese is a small dog, standing at 8 to 11 inches tall and weighing 7 - 13 pounds. Their hair is very long and profuse. Coloring can range from pure white to shades of cream, champagne, gold, black, blue, silver, chocolate or any of these colors combined.
The coat of the Havanese will require combing and brushing several times a week if it is kept long. If the coat is kept shorter, it will require less care however owners still need to check the coat for any matting.
