Caring for a Havanese

Health

Generally a healthy breed with a long 14-16 year lifespan and relatively few serious inherited conditions, though progressive retinal atrophy and patellar luxation do show up. Regular eye exams and patella checks are the main things to screen for.

Nutrition

A quality small-breed diet in measured portions is sufficient for this generally low-maintenance breed health-wise.

Grooming

The long, silky coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting, or can be clipped shorter for easier upkeep — a genuine grooming commitment either way.

Training

Highly trainable and eager to please, Havanese do well with positive reinforcement and tend to dislike being left alone for long periods.

About the breed

The Havanese is the national dog of Cuba, descended from the now-extinct Blanquito de la Habana, itself descended from the Bichon family of dogs brought to Cuba by Spanish and Italian traders. Cuban aristocracy prized the breed as a companion dog for generations before it nearly disappeared after the Cuban Revolution; a small number of dogs brought out by refugee families preserved the breed in the US.

Havanese are known for a cheerful, springy gait and a highly sociable, people-oriented temperament — they were bred purely as companions and tend to bond closely with their whole family rather than one person.
