Bred as a companion dog to the Cuban Aristocracy during the 1500’s, and named after the Capital of its origin, the Havanese, also referred to as “the silk dog” would become the national emblem of Cuba. Now almost extinct in its founding country, the Havanese was brought to United States during the Cuban revolution in 1959 when only 11 dogs were left to save the breed from extinction. Since then the breed has thrived throughout the United States and Europe. These highly trainable and companion driven dogs make for a perfect family pet.
Appearance and Grooming
A small and sturdy gait with dark almond shaped eyes and a full muzzle this breed will never appear fragile. Despite its silky coat and minimal shedding, routine grooming is an absolute necessity for this dog breed. With its common coloring of black, blue, brown, gray, silver and white most owners opt for a shorter cut for easier maintenance. Though these puppies can also wear their hair long, they will require added brushing several times a week, if not daily and regular trims every 3 to 4 weeks.
Temperament
This toy dog breed is friendly, playful, alert and intelligent with a sweet, non-quarrelsome disposition. Aggressive behavior and shyness is not common in these dogs and should be corrected immediately if necessary. They are the most happy when they are with their owner as they form a special bond and a high level of attachment to the person they spend the most time with. Though, they prefer to stay at home, given the chance they also love to run around outdoors.
Family and Companionship
With the earned title of, “Velcro Dog” you must believe that this loyal little canine will never leave your side. They are needy dogs who are keen on lots of affection and play. Perfect for a family with children or other active pets, as they love little clowning around and spreading their affection to their adopted family and everyone they meet.
Exercise
This small purebred needs light to moderate exercise each day. A short walk or some indoor play each day will ensure your puppy is getting all of the exercise that they need. Be careful not to over exercise this little bundle of energy, as much as it will love to keep up, too much exertion is not good for its tiny frame.
Training and Socialization
Even though this highly intelligent and over eager pooch is a fast learner, they still need patience and gentle guidance as their pride can be easily hurt if scolded to harshly. Practicing praise and creating a treat based reward system will result in both a happy puppy and a happy owner.

We have always rescued dogs so “shopping” online was a different experience. I’m so happy with the process. Our girl is very healthy. She is exactly what we wanted. She goes everywhere with me even the potty. She is very energetic and happy at all times. We have two other bigger dogs and she fits right in with them. Thank you Premier Pups. We will definitely look here again for a pup.

I can honesty say that I was kind of sceptical at first about picking a dog on line, but my experience with Adorable pups, have really changed my whole outlook on the idea. They are an excellent facility, very clean, very knowledgeable, and very very helpful with my experience with them, they genuinely care about the puppies they have there, and the follow up on my baby made me realize they aren't just any fly by night place. I am very happy with my baby, he seems very happy and healthy and that's what it's all about. I would most definitely get another puppy from them and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to adopt, a happy healthy puppy, Thank you Adorable pups for everything.

We purchased Sammy a week before the pandemic hit and he has been so much company for my husband and I. Premier Pups answered all questions and concerns prior to bringing Sammy home and they are very helpful and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. We have 15 grandchildren and he has been great around children too.

"In Love" with this furry little ball of fun! Jags flew into Charlotte, NC., that is where I picked him up. He was in the cargo hold, and when I arrived at the cargo facility, Jags was in his travel case whining. I remember thinking to myself that I could not wait to get him out of there. I stopped on the way home and fed Jags some food that Premier Pets had sent with him. I gave him some water shortly after Jags settled down and slept the rest of the 3-hour drive home. On arriving home, Jags was so happy to be out of his carry cage. Jags is very playful, smart, with a little character all of his own, and is so loving he falls asleep in my arms every night. We have a special needs son who Jags is very gentle with him. Jags is a perfect fit for my family! Thank you, Premier Pets for taking such good care of Jags, and making this process an easy and nonstressful one. Your support and follow thru was amazing from the sales folks to the folks in charge of getting Jags to me safe, happy, and healthy. Thank you all very much!

our kids have been wanting a dog forever! The problem has been our allergies until we found a Bradley at Premier pups. there were a few pups we liked and we took the drive on New Year’s Day 2020 not knowing if we were going to get a dog. In the end… Bradley was meant for us! His personality matched ours and not one of us felt any sort of allergy with him. He is now seven months old and we could not imagine him not in our family. He’s absolutely the best dog ever!!! we highly highly recommend Premier pups top-notch facility. Staff super super nice, knowledgeable, hands-on. gain premier pups… Follow Bradley to have a Nice on Instagram
