Colours for Registration
The Havanese coat comes in a myriad of colours and shadings. The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) recommends that a Havanese be registered according to its dominant colour(s) at the time of birth to a few weeks of age. The colour choices from the CKC registration form are explained here.
Breed Overview
The Havanese breed descends from old-world Bichon types of small companion dogs such as antique versions of the Maltese and the Caniche. They are neither Terriers nor Spaniels. This group of small longhaired dogs is very old and originated in the Mediterranean in pre-Christian times. From the original antique “small dog", numerous varieties evolved.
