  • Sports or Activities

    Havanese dogs have commonly been used in the circus as they are intelligent and highly trainable. They are also considered great companion dogs for homes with children, cats and older persons. They are not naturally aggressive, but will bark if alerted by an unfamiliar person or noise. Their long coat requires daily brushing and semi-annual grooming.Dog Owner's Guide: The Havanese
