Le Bichon Havanais est sportif, et il est heureux de partager toutes vos activités en plein air. Il est un bon nageur, il aime les ballades, mais il apprécie tout autant être couché sur un canapé ou à d’autres endroits de la maison d’où il pourra observer toutes les allées et venues. Car vous l’aurez deviné, le Bichon Havanais est un curieux, et il aime s’asseoir en hauteur sur une chaise ou sur un fauteuil pour observer ce qui se passe dans la maison. The Havanese is a good breed for first-time dog owners and for families with young children, and he is smart and agile enough for those who want a small dog for obedience or agility competitions. He does well in multiple-dog households, for he is not a scrapper, and he's a delightful apartment dog because he's easy to train and not noisy.
Coat
Havanese, like other Bichons and related dogs like Poodles, have a coat that doesn't readily shed. Rather, it catches hair and dander internally, and needs to be regularly brushed out. Many people consider the Havanese to be nonallergenic or hypoallergenic.

Unlike the always-white Bichon, the Havanese can be white, cream, fawn, champagne, gold, black, blue, silver, or chocolate or a combination of two or three colors.
Havanese are acceptable in all coat colours and patterns, with allowances made in every breed standard for their unique colourful nature. The only restrictions is that every Havanese must have a black nose and eyerims, except in chocolate coloured dogs, where brown colouration is allowed. The colour of a Havanese puppy may change colour as an adult, called "silvering" as the most usual case is a black puppy turning silvery-grey with age. This is not to be confused with "sable", which is a lighter color at the roots with       
dark, often black tips; in some sables, these tips grow out with age and they eventually appear to be only the lighter color. If you are concerned about the colour you may want to ask the breeder for the family history, as silvering or fading has a strong genetic component.
