The Havanese is quickly becoming a favorite among the toy breeds due to its playful and cheerful nature. These pups have little that bother them and seem to bask in being spoiled by their person. Weighing in between 7 and 15 pounds and standing up to 11.5 inches at the shoulder, the Havanese is a perfect size for family fun.

Havanese want only to be with the people they love and are excellent with children and other dogs and even cats. They simply like to be in the middle of all of the fun, and their size makes them a great companion for families or people who live alone. Havanese bark less than others in the toy breeds, making them excellent choices for apartments or suburban living.

Originally from Cuba, the Havanese has a long and silky, or fluffy, coat that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Due to the nature of the fur, Havanese do require daily brushing and occasional professional grooming to remain in great form. Fortunately, these pups don’t tend to she a lot, which makes them perfect additions to existing packs or families with small children.

The Havanese has a pleasing temperament and is always willing to make their people happy, which makes them easy to train and obedient in situations where you need them to listen such as busy parks or beaches. These pups will bond quickly and strongly with their families, which makes them wonderful companions that fit easily into any lifestyle.
