The Havanese breed is a toy breed said to be known for "silliness," though that may be just because the Havanese dog breed tends to be less standoffish than some other toy breeds. The dogs are known as attention-seekers, following people around the house and even doing tricks to attract notice. Versatile, hard-working dogs, Havanese dogs have been used as therapy dogs, service dogs for the disabled, performing dogs, mold and termite detecting dogs, and tracking dogs. In competition, the Havanese breed tends to excel in obedience, agility, flyball, and musical freestyle.

Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behavior. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.

The Havanese’s Origins and History

Country/Region of Origin: Cuba

Original purpose: toy dog

Name: from "Havana;" also known as the Bichon Havaise, Havaneser, and Havana Silk Dog.

Historical notes: the Havanese breed was developed from the now-extinct Mediterranean Bichon Tenerife. After the 1959 Cuban Revolution, many wealthy Cubans who fled the country abandoned their dogs and the breed nearly died out. In the US, the breed today is descended from only 11 dogs which were carefully bred in the 1970s along with a few others acquired over the years. As the breed of dog kept by Barbara Walters, the breed became enormously popular.
