Origins And History: The Who, What, When, Where, Why And How Of The Havanese

Following Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the New World by landing in Cuba in 1492, Spain soon began colonization of Cuba. Some of these early colonists brought their dogs with them on the voyage and it is thought that these early canine “explorers” form the ancestry of the Havanese.

The climate of Cuba was hotter and more humid than their previous home, and over time the breed developed a lightweight, white silky coat that left them better adapted to these warmer conditions. It is believed that these original dogs were bred with French and German poodles in the 19th century to give us the breed as we know it today.
