the Havanese

ABOUT Isla

Isla is a spunky little Havanese living in Ottawa, Ontario. Don’t let her size fool you - at only 8 lbs Isla gives off the impression that she is a Great Dane.

We are excited to share travel and grooming tips, dog-friendly stays and information about Havanese pups!

How to Groom a Havanese

What is a "puppy cut" anyways? One of the questions that we get most often is about Isla's grooming. How do we get her face so perfect?...

WHY WE LOVE THE BREED

Havanese pups are affectionate, witty, friendly and devoted companions. Isla lives up to being a "shadow dog", as Havanese are often described. She is always one step behind us. While they require a fair amount of grooming, there is little to no shedding with these pups. Isla is a spirited and outgoing family dog who loves playing and being outside just as much as she loves cuddling on the couch. She loves everyone and doesn't let her size define her!
