The Havanese is a happy breed causing much delight amongst the exhibitors as more and more enter the conformation rings. The sight of this little Cuban export happily parading himself around the ring is a sight to see. Our standard states under presentation: The dog should be shown as naturally as is consistent with good grooming. He may be shown either brushed or corded. His coat should be clean and well conditioned. In mature specimens, the length of the coat may cause it to fall to either side down the back but it should not appear to be artificially parted. The long, untrimmed head furnishings may fall forward over the eyes, naturally and gracefully to either side of the skull, or held in two small braids beginning above the eyes, secured with plain elastic bands. (No ribbons or bows are permitted.)
