Havanese Breed Standard
Toy Group

General Appearance
The Havanese is a small sturdy dog of immense charm. He is slightly longer than tall, and covered with a profuse mantle of untrimmed long, silky, wavy hair. His plumed tail is carried loosely curled over his rump. A native of Cuba, he has evolved over the centuries from the pampered lap-dog of the aristocracy into what he is today - the quintessential family pet of a people living on a small tropical island. His duties traditionally have been those of companion, watchdog, child's playmate and herder of the family poultry flock. His presentation in the show ring should reflect his function - always in excellent condition but never so elaborately coifed as to preclude an impromptu romp in the leaves, as his character is essentially playful rather than decorative.

Gracie

Gracie is a silent observer. She keeps a close eye on the activities around her, while she goes about her business. She does not miss a trick. When she spies a tennis ball or a cat she goes absolutely crazy over them. She could play ball for hours, and she will completely maul a cat licking them. She loves to prance around in her new shirts. I do keep my Havanese trimmed for ease of care of their coats.

Mercy

This guy is a ball of energy and a bundle of fun. He has one speed - wide open! He will only stop for kisses and naps. He is black with silver trim.
