Havanese are gentle, easy-going, compliant and cheerful little dogs, who were
bred for the sole purpose of being companions to people. They are very intelligent
and were once used as circus performers. As such, Havanese delight
in doing little tricks in exchange for affection and treats. They generally
live long healthy lives. They are not aggressive toward other dogs; quite
the opposite, they thrive with plenty of doggie socializing. Havanese especially
love other Havanese. Owners are known to throw "Havanese parties" wherein
many Havanese become instant friends. Havanese are outgoing and at the same
time somewhat submissive. They
bond to the entire family and love to be with their people. They are the ultimate
little dog in gentleness and devotion.
