Welcome to Morning Star Havanese, Home of Happy Havs

To quote the Havanese Breed Standard: "The Havanese is a small sturdy dog of immense charm. He is slightly longer than tall, and covered with a profuse mantle of untrimmed long, silky, wavy hair. His plumed tail is carried loosely curled over his rump. A native of Cuba, he has evolved over the centuries from the pampered lap-dog of the aristocracy into what he is today - the quintessential family pet of a people living on a small tropical island. His duties traditionally have been those of companion, watchdog, child's playmate and herder of the family poultry flock. His presentation in the show ring should reflect his function - always in excellent condition but never so elaborately coifed as to preclude an impromptu romp in the leaves, as his character is essentially playful rather than decorative."

We received our first Havanese over eight years ago, and like you, we started by searching the internet. We also attended dog shows, and while attending a show in West Palm Beach we saw the style of Havanese we like, and sought out the breeder. Cadi (CH Los Perritios Cadillac Sunrise, ROM) came into our home. She was owner/handled to her Championship, as all our other Champions have been. Our dogs are members of the family; sharing the furniture, the bed, and just about anything else they desire. Our puppies are raised in our home amid the chaos of our daily lives.
