The Blanquito was thought to be a cross between the Bichon Tenerife and other bichon-type dogs.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="10:1-10:234"><span style="font-size:18px;">Havanese were popular companions among the Cuban upper class for centuries, and they were often given as gifts to visiting dignitaries. In the early 1900s, Havanese began to be exported to other countries, including the United States.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="12:1-12:233"><span style="font-size:18px;">Today, Havanese are one of the most popular toy dog breeds in the world. They are known for their affectionate and adaptable nature, making them ideal companions for families with children, seniors, and people who live in apartments.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="14:1-14:14"><span style="font-size:18px;">Appearance</span></p><p data-sourcepos="16:1-16:59"><span style="font-size:18px;">Havanese are small dogs, typically standing 8.5-11.5 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing 7-13 pounds. They have a sturdy build with a short muzzle, large, brown eyes, and drop ears.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="18:1-18:204"><span style="font-size:18px;">Havanese have a double coat that is soft and silky. The outer coat can be wavy or curly, and the undercoat is soft and dense. Havanese come in a variety of colors, including black, white, brown, and fawn.<br></span><br></p></div><div class="az-element az-html" style="" data-az-persist="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" data-az-id="gbged080kb" data-azat-pid="gbged080kb" id="gbged080kb" data-azb="az_html" data-az-human-readable="HTML" data-az-human-readable-en="HTML" data-azcnt="true" data-azat-box_model="000000"><iframe sandbox="allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin" style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=stormsai-20&language=en_US&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B0797GBLT4&asins=B0797GBLT4&linkId=e675c81bec297ca4e9230b763c09551d&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

It is important to have your Havanese regularly checked by a veterinarian to prevent and treat any health problems that may arise.</span></p><p data-sourcepos="34:1-34:12"><span style="font-size:18px;">Training</span></p><p data-sourcepos="36:1-36:236"><span style="font-size:18px;">Havanese are intelligent and easy to train.
