This breed is a direct descendant of the Bichon group, and this can be seen in its looks. There are several types of Bichons that the Havanese may have originated from. They include: Maltese, Bolognese, and the Bichon Frise. Most experts agree that this dog is related to the Italian Bolognese. It is thought that early Italian travelers took this dog with them to South America. At that time, the dog was cross bred with a smaller poodle, which resulted in the Havanese. Others feel that the Havanese is a direct descendant of the Maltese that was brought to the West Indies by Spanish Settlers. Despite all of the varying historical data, the Havanese began to grow in popularity on the island of Cuba. The most famous breeder of this dog, and the person responsible for bringing them into the main stream was Catalina Laza. Laza was a wealthy woman who raised the Havanese for enjoyment as well as gifts for her close friends. At this time, the Havanese was only owned by those living in country estates or large luxury homes and palaces. The Havanese was brought to the United States approximately 30 to 35 years ago. Cuban families relocating to the country were responsible for introducing the breed to the US. At this time, the Havanese was near extinction, but the Cuban immigrants were persistent on making sure that this did not happen. In 1996, the Havanese Club of America was established. During the same year, the American Kennel Club officially recognized the breed. The following could well describe the Havanese breed: • mild temperament • eager to please • gentle lap dog • great with small kids • good trainability • gets along well with other dogs What the Havanese is not? • protection dog • working dog • distance running partner 3 The Havanese is a very loving, social, loyal and people oriented dog. This breed needs plenty of attention from his owner and needs to interact with someone each day. This is not a dog to be left alone and socially neglected. Deprive this breed of the attention it needs and you could wind up with a very frustrated dog that has severe social and behavioral problems. 4 Section 101: Havanese Puppies The most important thing to remember when choosing your Havanese is not to rush in. Most likely the dog you get will be with you for many years to come. Doing some thorough research first can prevent problems later on. One of the first questions that might come up is whether to get a puppy or an adult dog. Puppy or Adult? There can be certain advantages to getting an adult Havanese over getting a puppy, depending on the upbringing of the dog. If the Havanese was brought up well with the proper socialization and training then that process is already completed for you when you receive the Havanese. On the other hand if you get an adult Havanese without first spending time with it you could wind up with a Havanese that has social and behavioral issues. If you can’t be around to take care of a puppy then an adult Havanese would be a good choice. Since puppies need to go to the bathroom every couple of hours they require an owner who can either stay home during it’s first few months or come home often to take the puppy out. For people that are not able to do this for whatever reason an adult Havanese is a better choice. If you want to get an adult Havanese here is a tip that can help ensure you end up with a well behaved and well socialized Havanese. Spend time with the Havanese first If you can it’s a great idea to keep the Havanese for several weeks before taking ownership of him. This way you get to see how the Havanese behaves around you, around strangers and around guests. If the owners tell you he’s house broken then you will be able to see first hand if he really is. Keep in mind that without his true owners around and since he has not yet bonded to you his behavior may not be an exact reflection of how he behaves in his own home. For this reason it’s a good idea to spend some time around him when he is with his owners. If he is said to be well trained have the owner demonstrate this to you. By getting a puppy you can ensure that your Havanese grows up to be well socialized and well behaved and there will be no question or uncertainty as to its social background. For example, if you get an adult you could later find out that he has developed a great fear of a certain type of object because he had a bad experience with such an object as a young puppy or because he was never exposed to such an object. With a puppy you can take measures to prevent this such as exposing him to as many people, objects and situations as possible early on to help ensure he does not grow up to have selective fears of things. 5 Another reason to get a puppy is because it’s easier to house train a puppy than it is to house train an adult Havanese. It is not impossible to house train an adult Havanese but an adult Havanese will be more set in his ways and un breaking old habits from an adult will be more difficult than forming new habits in a puppy. Getting a Havanese as a puppy will require a big commitment from you – consider it not much different than having a newborn child in the home. In a nutshell puppies will need attention all throughout the day. This includes being taken out to the bathroom every two or three hours as their bladders don’t hold much, being fed three to four times a day and getting love and affection from you several times a day. Puppies, unlike other animals, do not do well with social isolation. Leaving your puppy alone to be ignored for long periods of time can be very bad for its health. For this reason if you get a puppy you need to make sure that someone will be around throughout the day to cater to all these needs. If you cannot be around to care for your Havanese will someone else be able to stop in every two to three hours? If you can’t be around and you don’t have anyone that can stop in then you will need to consider a dog sitter or doggy day care. If

  • 2017 Horrible Hundred Report
    The Horrible Hundred 2017 A sampling of problem puppy mills and puppy dealers in the United States May 2017 For the fifth straight year, The Humane Society of the United States is reporting on problem puppy mills, including some dealers (re-sellers) and transporters. The Horrible Hundred 2017 report is a list of known, problematic puppy breeding and/or puppy brokering facilities. It is not a list of all puppy mills, nor is it a list of the worst puppy mills in the country. The HSUS provides this update annually, not as a comprehensive inventory, but as an effort to inform the public about common, recurring problems at puppy mills. The information in this report demonstrates the scope of the puppy mill problem in America today, with specific examples of the types of violations that researchers have found at such facilities, for the purposes of warning consumers about the inhumane conditions that so many puppy buyers inadvertently support. The year 2017 has been a difficult one for puppy mill watchdogs. Efforts to get updated information from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on federally-inspected puppy mills were severely crippled due to the USDA’s removal on Feb. 3, 2017 of all animal welfare inspection reports and most enforcement records from the USDA website. As of April 20, 2017, the USDA had restored some Puppies at the facility of Alvin Nolt in Thorpe, Wisconsin, were found on unsafe wire flooring, a repeat violation at the facility. Wire flooring animal welfare records on research facilities and is especially dangerous for puppies because their legs can become other types of dealers, but almost no records on entrapped in the gaps, leaving them unable to reach food, water or pet breeding operations were restored.

Debus-López, Chief, U.S. General Division From: Giles Martin, Assistant Editor Winton Matthews, Consulting Assistant Editor Dewey Decimal Classification OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc Re: 636.72-636.76 Dog breeds Magdalena Svanberg, of the Kungliga biblioteket/National Library of Sweden, pointed out that the arrangement of dog breeds in 636.72-636.76 was different from that used by the Féderation Cynologique Internationale (FCI). The FCI classification is found at http://www.fci.be/nomenclature.aspx, and at the top level is: Group 1 Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs (except Swiss Cattle Dogs) Group 2 Pinscher and Schnauzer - Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs Group 3 Terriers Group 4 Dachshunds Group 5 Spitz and Primitive types Group 6 Scenthounds and Related Breeds Group 7 Pointing Dogs Group 8 Retrievers - Flushing Dogs - Water Dogs Group 9 Companion and Toy Dogs Group 10 Sighthounds 1 The American Kennel Club (AKC) arrangement, followed by Dewey, is very different at the top level: Sporting Group 636.752 Hound Group 636.753 Working Group 636.73 Terrier Group 636.755 Toy Group 636.76 Non-Sporting Group 636.72 Herding Group 636.737 Miscellaneous Class (breeds which have not yet been put into the other groups) (The order given here is that on the AKC’s webpage, http://www.akc.org/breeds/index.cfm?nav_area=breeds ) The situation is made more complex because 636.72-636.76 contain several references to breeds as “(United Kingdom)” as a shortcut for saying that this group is one of the groupings of the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom (KC).

This highly people-oriented breed is energetic and lively that often perform a number of functions beyond a lapdog, from serving as a therapy dog to appearing in circus shows. The origin of this thick and long coated breed can be traced back to the companion dogs of the Spanish settlers that claimed Cuba in the late 15th century. These dogs, the ancestors of the Bichon breed family, interbred and formed into the Havanese breed we know today. While being popular among many aristocratic Cuban families and then becoming trendy in Europe in the mid 1800s, this affectionate breed almost became extinct in the 1950s around the time of the Cuban Revolution. Just 11 dogs were brought to America at the time, which can now account for the vast majority of the Havanese population outside of Cuba today. Havanese dogs thrive on human interaction to such a level that they are commonly referred to as “Velcro dogs”. Exposure to socialization as a young puppy helps Havanese dogs develop into both a confident and playful family pet. However, this breed’s reliance on interaction Fun Fact sees them suffer from separation anxiety when left alone. Their thick, often curly coat The Havanese dog has boasted some can require regular grooming when kept long.

Abstract The Havanese is a toy breed that presents with a wide range of developmental abnormalities. Skeletal defects, particularly osteochondrodysplasia (OCD), are the most frequently observed anomalies. Cataracts, liver shunts, heart murmurs, and miss- ing incisors are also common in this breed. Estimates of heritability and complex segregation analyses were carried out to evaluate modes of transmission for these abnormalities. A moderate heritability was identified and evidence for a single major locus was found. Novel statistical analysis methods were used to identify four traits that co-segregate: cataracts, hepatic ab- normalities, OCD, and cardiac abnormalities. A canine-specific microarray was used to identify changes in gene expression in the liver that accompany the aforementioned developmental problems.
