About the Havanese Breed
The Havanese is considered one of the oldest breeds of the Bichon family. Originally bred as lapdogs for Cuban aristocracy, they were highly prized for their beauty and companionship. The breed’s popularity declined during the Cuban Revolution and it was only through the efforts of dedicated breeders that the Havanese was saved from extinction. Today the Havanese is recognised by the AKC and loved by families around the world.
