Are Havanese Dogs Relatives Of The Cat?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I have a Havanese puppy and she is very much like a cat. She curls up into a tight ball when she sleeps, she never barks (all havanese are like this may I add), she makes little grunting noises when we pick her up, and she has GREEN reflective eyes. Can someone tell me the background of the breed, or if their havanese is like this?

This little dog is the Cuban member of the Bichon family, a group which includes Bichon Frise, Bolognese, Coton de Tulear, Lowchen and Maltese. These breeds differ in coat type and character. They are thought to have originated in the Mediterranean area. Bichon type dogs were probably taken to Cuba by traders & settlers and to have evolved into the HAVANESE. Originally the lap dog of the aristocracy, they became, in time, the much loved pet of the ordinary Cuban.
No dogs are related to cats they are from the Canine family.Though I know what you mean i have a Pomeranian that seems like he is half cat. He loves to sleep, he is very independent, he grooms himself like a cat. I think it is pretty funny.
