These wonderful family-oriented dogs are non-allergenic, non-shedding, and minimal barkers. Their fun-loving play and joyful antics will keep you entertained, and their love and devotion will warm your heart. Their small but sturdy bodies, adaptable nature, and social skills make Havanese an ideal city dog, but they are content to be anywhere that they can command the attention of admirers young and old alike. Havanese, smart and trainable extroverts with the comic instincts of a born clown, are natural trick dogs. Havanese are also excellent watchdogs and take the job seriously, but will usually keep the barking to a minimum.
They have earned the nickname “Velcro dog” because they stick so closely to their owner's side.
