Ignacia!
The Havanese is a breed of dog of the Bichon type, which do not shed. These dogs are very playful and good with older, more considerate children. They love to be on furniture, and they are smaller-sized dogs bred to be companions.
The Havanese has a playful, friendly temperament. It is at home with most other pets and is rarely shy or nervous around new people. Clever and active, they will often solicit attention by performing tricks, such as running back and forth between two rooms as fast as they can and do not need a lot of exercise.
The Havanese is a very people-oriented dog. They often have a habit of following their humans around the house, but definitely not overly possessive of their people and do not suffer aggression or jealousy towards other dogs, pets, or humans.
Havanese have been known to eat only when they have company in the same room. If one is eating and its person leaves the room, it is likely the dog will grab a mouthful of food and follow its "person", dropping the food and consuming it one morsel at a time in the room its person goes to.
Havanese are true "dogs", loving to play whenever the owner wants to. That being said, they calm down quickly when prompted to do so by their owners.
Havanese have excellent noses and are easily trained to play "find it," a game in which the owner hides a treat and the Havanese sniffs it out, never giving up until the treat is discovered. This is a highly trainable dog.
Havanese are natural companion dogs: gentle and responsive. They become very attached to their human families. Very affectionate and playful with a high degree of intelligence, these cheerful little dogs are very sociable. This curious dog loves to sit up high on a chair to observe what is going on. It is very sensitive to the tone of your voice. Harsh words will only upset the dog and will achieve very little.
BREED: Havanese, Spayed Female, 3 yr, Black & Tan, 15 lbs
NAUGHTIEST DEED: Being a VERY GOOD escape artist. Able to scale 8 foot walls in a single bound. My previous family surrendered me when they lost their house and indicated that I may “nip at kids,” although I’m not sure this is true because it’s not in my breeding.
PET PEEVE: Always want to know what is on the other side of that open door, I’m a “door dasher.”
FAVORITE PASTIME: Walks and getting attention. I’m a great candidate for training because I’m super smart!
