A little history
The beginning of Spanish colonization in Cuba, from the fifteenth century, the island has two types of settlers, farmers, mainly from the island of Tenerife, and the latter so named for the second sons of aristocratic families who left in search new businesses to increase their fortunes. Tenerife remains one of the only ports open to Cuba for trade, due to restrictions imposed by Spain in their colonies.
As a natural result, the dog, like many other things taken by the Cuban also acquires a particular label, becoming, in response to weather conditions, food and a different dog inbreeding determining their European cousins. This new dog was named Blanquito Havana, because of their color entirely white. It is difficult to be absolutely certain how it could be Blanquito of Havana, from the viewpoint of its external morphology, but testimonies of the time describe him as the dog "....... Habanero (Canis vellerosus) that exists in Havana is smaller than the previous (referring to the Maltese) and is covered with a fleece type of long, curly, white, satin or silk. Individuals who have been brought from Europe could not resist for long the climate change. "
Already in the nineteenth century were the bases of a trading system that led to contact with different cultures. New races come to Cuba, including the Poodle or Poodle, accompanying the new wave of French immigrants. This is where the story really begins in the Havanese. With the entry of various foreign breeds a new stage in the design of the poodle in Cuba. By crossing the Poodle, the white boy from Havana takes color and size increases, but does not lose its wonderful character. These crosses were performed under certain principles of control, which allowed the speedy establishment of a uniform kind enough to be considered as a new race. Thus arises the Havanese, carrying the best features of their parents, keeps the character alive, happy and intelligent Whitey and acquires strength and size by Poodle.
The Habanero was the dog of the colonial aristocracy until the early twentieth century, when U.S. intervention imposes its fashion, being replaced by the Chihuahua, Pomeranian or Pekingese, and became the favorite toy of the Cuban family, almost unconsciously, helped to keep alive the race. It begins during the twentieth century a wide taste for dog breeding in Cuba, made the first dog shows on the island, where the prevailing majority of imported breeds, only a few breeders dedicated to the Havanese. With the triumph of the revolution in 1959, the breeding of dogs suffer a blow as it becomes a sign of bourgeois mentality, not in accordance with the popular principles of the new changes. Economic reconstruction makes people forget their dogs, but the race goes from U.S. to Europe, starting from a reduced number of emigrants, mainly Sweden, Finland, Holland and Germany. Meanwhile in Cuba in the early eighties began to appreciate the rebirth of love and founded the first club race. Still, the Havanese was submerged into oblivion, so far of the general public recognition, even though the FCI (FCI) had approved a standard for the breed since 1963.
In 1987, the FCI was created in Cuba, entering new associate member of the FCI, it is precisely in that year when he removed the assets of the Havanese in Cuba, it now appears in the technical literature as originating in the Western Mediterranean. This is when awareness and breed lovers meet after a careful search, found almost all Havanese who remained in the country and begin to work with them in the rescue of the breed. In 1991 he founded the Cuban Havanese Club performing work of selection and improvement of the race, having already several champions Cuba, the first winner of the Puppy Expocanina 1993.
Today, the Cuban Club works the true essence of the type of Havanese, somewhat distorted in the European continent by the free interpretation of the FCI standard, little descriptive and therefore prone to deviations from the original type. In 1999, Cuba becomes a full member of the FCI and still waits to be returned that the heritage of the race, a race that is a faithful representative of his idiosyncrasies and belongs to the country's cultural heritage, unmistakable symbol of their identity.
