The Havanese is a descendent of breeds brought to Cuba from Spain and could also be related to the Tenerife, an ancestor of the entire Bichon family. Once known as the Havana Silk Dog and the Spanish Silk Poodle, the Havanese evolved from its role as a pampered lap-dog of the aristocracy into a family companion responsible for being a watchdog, child’s playmate and herder of the family’s poultry flock.

Meet The Puppies
Faith and Fresco came from Havanese Haven. They are very happy in their home with their new owners the Darby girls! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us!
The National Dog of Cuba and the country’s only native breed
The Havanese is a small, sturdy dog with a friendly disposition. His wavy, silky coat is profuse, but remains extremely light, insulating and protecting the breed against harsh tropical heat. His coat, which comes in all colors, should remain untrimmed. The Havanese’s popularity in the show ring has grown quickly, and they are also now high in demand as a family pet.
Testimonials
“Hi Eric, She’s doing great! Thanks for asking. Had her first routine vet check and getting shots Saturday. She is so smart and fun and loves to play and fetch. Doing great on the puppy pad, too. She’s eating well. She loves to be outside. We liked Nellie but decided to go with Ellie. So happy and blessed to have her. It was great meeting you and Gail. You are very special people and we enjoyed visiting. Here’s a picture.
“Went to the beach yesterday. He loved it. He’s great. He fits right in. I would say he has traits of a little boss. Not afraid of anything. Pretty confidant little guy. Cute Plus! Thanks Eric. He’s a great little dog. Full of energy and personality. I can tell he was well taken care of growing up.
“We finally got home from Salt lake! We have one very happy boy! He did so good last night. He will not potty in his bed. He whines when he needs to go out. I’m AMAZED! 😍 He did whine every 2 hrs last night….😂 but has yet to mess his bed. We are so in love with him.
“He loves to cuddle. He is such a good boy. He even started whining when he had to potty! You can tell how much Eric cares for his babies! We are having the best time! He is so stinking adorable! More to come. I will post on your FB page. Thank you so much!! Thank you Eric for raising such loving puppies. 🐶
“Hey Eric! Hope you guys are doing well. Just saw your reply on Google reviews and figured I’d send an update. Banjo is doing so well out here on the west coast. He plays a lot with my moms two dogs and is a happy camper. Here’s a few photos.
