 Happy Trails Havanese raises
beautiful havanese puppies. We have been raising havanese
puppies for many years now and couldn't be happier with the havanese
breed. A havanese puppy will adapt his personality off of your
family, making them a welcome addition to the family. |
The havanese
is a small sturdy dog full of charm, playfulness and of course
intelligence. A havanese is slightly longer than he is tall
with a coat that is thick and full with long silky, wavy hair.
The havanese plumed tail is carried loosely over his back.
The havanese is a native of Cuba, he had developed from the
once lap dog to what he is now today. Havanese were
the family pet of people living on a small tropical island. Along
the developement of the havanese, his duties have been
those of companion, watchdog, child's playmate and herder of the family
poultry flock. I must ask myself, would my havanese herd
the poultry flock? Probably not in the sense of herding
them but rather to chase them in a game and the chickens would run into
the poultry coop for safety. This is probably the extent to which
the havanese herded the chickens. I can say we live on a
farm and I would never see a havanese harm anything intentionally, they
have the personality of a small child and love to have alot of
fun. The personality of the havanese being childlike, is a
lifelong trait of the havanese, they do not turn into that grumpy old
dog, but rather a happy, bouncing lifetime addition to the home. |
A havanese puppy will
stay in the
puppy personality his entire life. A havanese dog will not grow
up and be that grumpy dog who doesn't want to play. This makes a
havanese puppy the perfect family pet , they will always be happy
and ready to please you. |

The presentation of the havanese
should reflect his function, always in excellent condition but never so
overdone as to preclude a good romp in the leaves. The
havanese personality is playful rather than decorative.
Most families keep their havanese in a puppy cut for ease of
grooming purposes.
While historically always
a toy dog, his size should never be overly large, nor shall he be
fragile as to make him unsuitable for a child's pet. His unique
coat reflects centuries in the tropics. He has a thick double
coat to protect him from the heat. It is remarkably soft and
light in texture, profuse without being harsh or wooly.

In both structure
and gait, the havanese is not easily mistaken for any other breed.
His characteristic topline, slightly rising from the withers to
the rump, is a result of moderate angulation both fore and aft
combined with a typically short forearm. The resulting
springy gait is flashy and unique to the breed. The overall
impression of the dog on the move is one of agility rather than
excessive ability to cover a lot of ground. The characteristics
of the temperment, structure and gait attribute to the
characteristic of the breed and are essential to type. |
