——————-
Havanese
Pros:
He’ll probably be at the top of his obedience class
He has a sweet disposition and gets along well with other pets
He’s one of the few Toy breeds that make good family dogs
assuming the children do not play roughly with him
Cons:
He requires daily grooming.
He’s susceptible to genetic eye disease. Only buy from a breeder who has registered with the Havanese Eye Angels Research Team (HEART) and can provide Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) on this parents
He’s may be too high energy, even indoors, for couch potatoes or the elderly

Papillon
Pros:
He’s perfect for apartment and condo dwellers
An affectionate, devoted companion who enjoys being fussed over
Very smart and trainable; you’ll see many Papillons in dog shows
Cons:
A lapdog, not a watchdog
Daily grooming is best; shedding is noticeable
Large households may overwhelm him
Too fragile for roughhousing
havanese they neva bark papilions bark alot kinda
mery christmas and happy new year
Papillon! they are the best
I think Papillons are cuter.
I do not know a lot about the havanese but the papillon can be a VERY yippy dog. They are extreme lovers, lap dogs, good ‘protectors’ and all around gorgeous and well behaved dogs. I love the papillon and I love the chihuahua papillon crosses. They have been some of my favorite dogs, despite the yipping.
a papillon- they are quite and are tended to everyone of the family, not just one
Havanese not so tough and easier to cook
