Product Description
From the Inside Flap
The world-famous Bichon Havanese is the only existing purebred 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. This is a colourful, entertaining pet dog who is winning the hearts of dog lovers everywhere. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Bichons Havaneses and their ancestry, character and standard, as well as the proper selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behaviour of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup’s arrival and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an extremely authoritative text written by a world expert, this book presents over 135 photographs in full colour, 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 Bichon Havanese.

The Havanese from a limited perspective...,
By J. V. Baldwin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bichon Havanese (Pet love) (Hardcover)
This is a decent book, albeit outdated and from a very limited perspective, the author being a resident of Cuba and, thus, having limited experience with the breed as it resides outside of Cuba. A far better book is The Havanese, by Diane Klumb, published in 2004, which is more timely and much more informative and also available on Amazon.
