Read the full profile

Havanas are medium and slender with a short glossy coat in even rich brown, brown whiskers, a uniquely narrow square muzzle and green eyes. Adults weigh about 2.5-4.5 kg.

They are intelligent, curious and affectionate, famously using their paws to touch objects and people, soft-voiced and attached to family without being noisy.

Coat care is simple. The breed is globally rare with a small gene pool, so prioritize breeders with strong health management. No single dominant hereditary disease is documented; keep routine checkups and dental care.
