The Havanese breed is an old one and is descended from the breeds that traveled from Spain to Cuba. They may also stake claim to being part of the Bichon family through the Tenerife breed. These dogs have also been called the Spanish Silk Poodle and the Havana Silk Dog. They have evolved from being pampered as lap dogs of nobility and a family pet into becoming a playmate for children and even a great watchdog or poultry herder.
Honored as Cuba's National Dog, the Havanese is the only native breed of that country. They are small and sturdy little dogs that have great personalities. Boasting a silky and wavy coat that insulates and protects them from the intense heat, they can be found in many colors. Their popularity as show dogs caught fire pretty quickly as well as making them highly sought after as family pets.
The Havanese dogs are intelligent, easily trained, with a naturally loving disposition. These are the qualities that make them such perfect members of families. Even though they are toy dogs, they are energetic and need to exercise daily. Their coats do not shed, which makes them perfect for people that suffer from allergies. However, they must be groomed regularly for their coats to stay in superior condition.
