The ancient Havanese breed has common ancestors with the Barbichon, Bichon and Maltese. It is felt the Havanese probably traveled with Mediterranean trading ships from Europe and the Canaries to the In the 1700s the Havanese was bred and owned by rich landowners and the plantation aristocracy of
The Havanese has always been admired most for its intelligence and adaptability. It is an excellent companion dog. The Havanese migranted from Grooming the Havanese The coat of a Havanese is long and silky and tangles easily. It can be wavy or slightly curled. Grooming will need to be carried out frequently. The double, wavy and profuse coat isn’t trimmed for normal purposes or the show ring except for nominal scissoring of foot hair. Havanese pets are either clipped or scissored down to a manageable length. The Havanese is seen in all colors from black to white. You will want to achieve a loose, natural look for the Havanese. Brush through the entire coat to removing any tangles. Then comb the coat with a wide-toothed comb. Brush along the back. When the Havanese shakes his hair it should fall nautrally in a parting. Do not try to make a perfectly straight part. A topknot can be tied up away from the eyes. Topknots are not usually used in the show ring. Grooming Equipment Needed You will need a pin brush, a wide-toothed comb and a slicker brush. The slicker brush is used on tough tangles, otherwise use the pin brush for normal daily brushing because the slicker brush can be too harsh on the Havanese coat. Exercise Requirements The Havanese exercise needs are easily met. A short walk, a romp a day with the kids in the backyard is about all it needs to stay in good physical shape. Personality The Havanese is sensitive, playful, friendly, accommodating, affectionate and comical. The Havanese is outgoing and adapts easily to adults. The Havanese gets along well with other pets. He is highly trainable. He does not respond well to yelling. He wants to please. The Havanese has a good memory and is quick to learn.
Appearance The Havanese is generally about 10 inches tall and weighs about 10 pounds. He is a sturdy little dog. He is not delicate or frail. The Havanese is quite athletic. The legs of a Havanese are usually short, straight and strong. Pigmentation of nose, lip and eye margins is always black or solid dark brown on chocolate brown dogs. He has a “happy” sort of a look with his drop ears, straight topline, high tail set and animated gait. The Havanese is usually good with children of all ages. They are not frail and delicate so even smaller children can learn to handle a Havanese with ease.
Havanese Nutrition
You might think all pet food manufacturers produce dog food with the pet's best interests in mind. This is far from being the truth. The current pet food regulations allow manufacturers to use ingredients that you would never give to your pet on purpose. You might be a little shocked to learn exactly what some brands of pet food really contain. Some use by-products like feet, bones and intestines, chemical preservatives such as BHA and BHT and grains that are most likely to cause your pets intestinal problems and extra visits to the vet. Very few actually use real meat as a protein source.
