Havanese

The Havanese is a charming toy dog breed known for its playful demeanor, intelligence, and affectionate nature. Originating in Cuba, this breed is believed to have descended from the Bichon Tenerife, brought by Spanish colonists in the 1500s. Havanese dogs have a long, silky coat that can come in various colors and patterns. They are highly trainable, making them ideal for a variety of roles such as therapy dogs, assistance dogs, and performers. With their friendly and gentle personalities, Havanese dogs are suitable for many types of homes, including apartments, and thrive on interaction and companionship with their owners. They are particularly responsive to positive reinforcement training and enjoy activities like obedience, agility, and social play.
