Dog World Magazine Breed Feature - Havanese

The Havanese, a breed of Bichon type, is the national dog of Cuba, developed from the now extinct Blanquito de la Habana. The Blanquito descended from the also now extinct Bichon Tenerife. It is believed that the Blanquito was eventually cross-bred with other Bichon types, including the Poodle, to create what is now known as the Havanese. Sometimes referred to as "Havana Silk Dogs", this was originally another name for the Blanquito de la Habana.

The purebred Havanese is a member of the Bichon family, which includes the Bichon Frise, Maltese and Lowchen.

The Havanese is a small dog, equally at home actively playing or snuggling on a lap. It is an intelligent and affectionate breed, and is always happy to be the centre of attention. The breed thrives on human companionship, plays well with children, other dogs of all sizes and also cats.

🌟 **Meet the Havanese: A True Canine Treasure!** 🌟

Are you looking for a delightful companion with a heart full of joy? Look no further than the Havanese! This breed, known for its cheerful disposition and elegant appearance, is the ultimate furry friend. With a flowing coat and expressive eyes, the Havanese never fails to steal hearts. 🐶✨

The Havanese traces its origins back to the Cuban aristocracy of the 1800s. These charming little dogs were the darlings of Havana's upper class, earning their name from Cuba’s capital. Their lineage can be linked to the Bichon family, and their arrival in Cuba is thought to have occurred via Spanish trading ships. The Havanese quickly won the hearts of European nobility as well, including Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens, who were among their admirers.

Their playful nature and intelligence make them a joy to train, while their affectionate temperament ensures they're always by your side, ready for cuddles. They require regular brushing and grooming to keep their coats looking fabulous. Perfect for families or individuals, these little dogs bring a spark of happiness to every home. 🏡💖
