They are a descendant of breeds brought to Cuba from Spain. Their role went from a pampered lap dog of the aristocracy into a family companion responsible for being a watchdog, child’s playmate and herder of the family’s poultry flock. Our AKC Havanese are house pets and companions first. We have shown our dogs in confirmation, but they could easily compete in agility or obedience.
Havanese are a long lived and a relatively healthy breed. However like every breed of dog you are going to possibly have health disorders, the Havenese are no exception. Some disorders are Heritable cataracts, hip dysplasia disease, patella luxation and deafness.
I am Kraig Wharton, a wildlife conservationist and a television personality. I am 30 years old. I was born and raised in the small town of Marion, Alabama. I have always had a love and respect for nature, which led me to pursue a career in wildlife conservation.
I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel all over the world, working with some of the most endangered species on the planet. My work has taken me to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth, including war-torn countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
I am passionate about educating people about the importance of conserving our natural resources, and I am committed to doing whatever it takes to protect our planet for future generations.
