The Bichon Havanais is part of the International Bichon breed and is often simply referred to as a Havanese.

The spotlight name in this guide is Harold Reginald, inspired by a Bichon Havanais owned by tennis player Venus Williams. Her beloved pooch is named Harold (Harry) Reginald Williams. Venus Williams used to ride her cycle around with Harry, but following an accident which luckily Harold wasn’t involved in, she’s stopped taking him along as sources suggest that if he had been in the basket that day, he might not have survived. Venus is said to have commented that she wouldn’t know what she would do without her little treasured four-legged friend. She recently stated that Harold is the friend who doesn’t care if she wins or loses a tennis match and he’s always there for her.

The Bichon Havanais is quite an adaptable breed as their coat allows them to thrive in most climates; however, they are quite a high maintenance pooch. Their long, dense and wavy coat means that grooming is needed regularly, so pampering is preferred. Some sources suggest a nickname for this breed is Velcro Dog and that’s because this dog sticks by their owner’s side. Remember, your Bichon Havanais will require lots of love and attention, plenty of cuddles, and your time to spend on training and agility, to keep them active both physically and mentally.
