The Cavanese are a very friendly and loving breed. It is considered to have one of the better personalities for small dog breeds. It is patient and suited for children. This is a companion breed and loves the company of others. It is not yippy and some may have a deep bark. The Cavanese is intelligent and easily trained.
Most small breeds are prone to liver shunts. Symptoms include decreased appetite and the dog not acting its normal self. Liver shunts may stunt growth.
Some Cavanese will have long hair which needs to be brushed frequently. Other Cavanese are known to have a short curly coat which most consider more common. Either coat requires frequent brushing.
If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site.
Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
After doing a lot of research, I found the Cavanese. Nico is very smart, knows so many tricks, can dance etc. He knows my friends names, their dogs names. He knows that Frankie visits us at the house and when I ask him where Frankie is he goes searching the condo. When I ask him about Max, he runs for his leash as we always go out to see Max. Smart dog.

Honey is a sweet, happy, intelligent and very friendly little girl. She loves people, other dogs and kids. She is a little scared of barkers, and would prefer playing with a 125# mastiff than a 15 pound terrier if the smaller dog yaps a lot. Honey LOVES her toys, and she actually knows the names of them - will go find one if I ask her to get one by name.

This is our Cavanese dog Tebow. Tebow is a sweet, loving dog. He loves to snuggle!!! I call him my Teddy Bear, since he loves to be held and be on your lap.
Tebow has a great disposition. He never barks and is very easy going. The has beautiful black and white markings and fluffy long ears. He looks more like a Cavalier King Charles than a Havanese.
He makes a perfect pet for retirees or a family with young children.
