Christmas came early at our house this year! On Monday when the kids got home from school, we had a fun treasure hunt set up for them. They went from room to room gathering clues until at last they came into our room where Dad was waiting with a special early Christmas present....a darling little puppy named Cosmo!!! M was sooo excited!!! She has been asking for a puppy for as long as she could talk. Dad and M have been researching puppies for the last year or so and they came across a breed that Dad feel head over heals in love with. So, when this puppy was found, it was love at first sight!! Welcome to the family, Cosmo!!! We're excited you're here!
Here's a little about our new puppy:
The Havanese is a dog breed of the Bichon type, developed from the now extinct Blanquito de la Habana ("little white dog of Havana"). The Blanquito descended from the also now extinct Bichon Tenerife, which was introduced to the Canary Islands by the Cubans. It is believed that the Blanquito was eventually cross-bred with other Bichon types, including the Poodle, to create what is now known as the Havanese. They are sometimes referred to as "Havana Silk Dogs," though this was originally just another name for the Blanquito de la Habana. The Havanese is the National dog of Cuba.
The Havanese is small in size and sturdy in structure with a tail carried up over its back and ears that drop and fold. The coat is abundant, long, and silky and comes in all colors. The Havanese has a spirited personality and a curious disposition, and is notable for its springy gait, a characteristic that distinguishes the breed from all others.[2] The Havanese is considered an ideal family pet and a true companion dog. They are highly adaptable to almost any environment, and their only desire is to be with their human companions. Because of their strong social needs, Havanese will not thrive in an environment where they are isolated for several hours each day.
