The world-famous Havanese is the only existing pure-bred dog of Cuban origin, a rare blend of intelligence, personality and natural beauty. Bred for its family-oriented temperament and loving ways, the Havanese is prized in the homes of the Cuban people as well as by fanciers in Europe and America. Written by world authority and founder of the Cuban parent club, Zoila Portuondo Guerra, this book provides the much-needed factual information about Havaneses and their ancestry, character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about preparing for the pup’s arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.
In addition to an extremely authoritative text written by a world expert, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Havanese from puppyhood to the senior years.
