About the Havanese

The Havanese is a small dog breed originating in Cuba. Adult dogs typically weigh 7 to 13 pounds and live 13 to 16 years. The breed is described as affectionate, people-bonded, playful, low-shedding.

Households wanting a small, social companion and willing to commit to daily brushing or a regular groomer. Excellent apartment dogs. Homes where the dog will be left alone for long stretches — the breed bonds closely and dislikes isolation.

Adult Havaneses need about 30 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 45 minutes. The coat is long-coated with low shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
