Questions & Answers

They originated in Cuba, and are a blend of poodle, maltese, and bichon.

Additionally, regular bathing can help reduce the amount of allergens and dander that can be brought into the home.
Finding the best food for your Havaneses will depend on their age, activity level, and overall health. For puppies and senior dogs, look for a balanced diet specifically formulated for their age group.
