Havanese

The breed

The Havanese is a small, sturdy toy dog with a cheerful, expressive appearance. Its long, silky coat may be straight, wavy, or slightly curly and comes in many colors and patterns. The breed has dark, lively eyes, drop ears, and a plumed tail that curves over the back. Despite its compact size, the Havanese often has a springy, animated way of moving.

Havanese dogs are generally affectionate, social, and playful companions. They tend to form close bonds with people and are known for their friendly, outgoing nature. Many are alert and curious without being overly serious, often enjoying games, attention, and being included in everyday activity. Their bright, clownish personality and gentle manner have made them popular family pets.
