Havanese are a small breed, usually 10-17 lbs

The Havanese is a cheerful, affectionate companion breed known for its friendly personality, silky coat, and strong bond with its family. Often described as playful, intelligent, and people-oriented, Havanese thrive on attention and love being involved in everyday family life. They are typically wonderful with children, other dogs, and household pets when properly socialized, making them an excellent choice for many different types of homes.
Originating in Cuba, the Havanese is the country's national dog and is part of the Bichon family of breeds. Their ancestors were small companion dogs brought to Cuba by European settlers, where the breed developed over generations into the charming Havanese we know today. They became especially popular among Cuban families and were treasured for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and beautiful coat.
One of the qualities many families appreciate about the Havanese is that they are considered a low-shedding breed. Instead of constantly dropping hair like many breeds, their coat tends to hold onto loose hair until it is brushed out. This means regular brushing and grooming are important to prevent tangles and matting.
Havanese are also frequently described as hypoallergenic or allergy-friendly, but it is important to understand that no dog is completely hypoallergenic. Allergies can be triggered by dander, saliva, and other proteins rather than the hair itself. Because Havanese shed very little, however, some people with dog allergies find them easier to live with than heavier-shedding breeds.
Havanese are highly intelligent and generally eager to please, which makes them very trainable. They respond especially well to positive reinforcement and enjoy learning tricks, playing games, and spending time with their people. They are energetic and playful without typically requiring extreme amounts of exercise—a daily walk, playtime, and plenty of companionship are usually enough to keep them happy.
Above all, the Havanese is a true companion dog. They are happiest when they are part of the family and are known for their loving, funny, and sometimes delightfully mischievous personalities. For families looking for a small dog with a big personality, a gentle temperament, and a strong desire to be close to their people, the Havanese can be a wonderful addition to the home.
