Havanese Characteristics
The Havanese, also known as “Bichon Habanero”, is the only dog breed native to Cuba. They are cheerful little dogs with a spring in their step and a gleam in their big, brown eyes. Havanese dogs are loving and intelligent pups with bright personalities.
These dogs are exceptionally affectionate and usually well-behaved, energetic and entertaining toy breed belonging to the Bichon family. They are also small with a rounded face, floppy ears, and either curly or straight long hair.
They are also need a large amount of interaction with people and enjoy outside activities. They can be a good watchdog but poor guard because of the small size. Occasionally, one may bark excessively if not properly trained. This breed is ideal for a person who wants a small, active dog who does not require a large yard.
