HavaneseThe Havanese is a Cuban member of the bichon family that includes better known breeds such as the Maltese and Bichon Frise.

The Bichon breeds originated in the Mediterranean area and the Havanese's ancestors may have arrived in Cuba when the Spanish were exploring the Caribbean.

Bred primarily as a pet, the Havanese's pert personality and attractive appearance have contributed to its appeal.

Happy, outgoing and quite trainable, the Havanese is a pleasant and affectionate companion.

A sturdy, short-legged, small dog with a lively, springy gait, the Havanese is well suited to urban or suburban living. His exercise requirements are easily met.
