Closely related to the Bichon Frise, the Havanese are a beautiful and playful little dog of the toy variety. These dogs have quickly gained in popularity at dog shows and competitions since the 1970s and the AKC has responded with a very specific set of guidelines relating to the way owners give their Havanese a haircut. Not only do these guidelines cover which hair should and should not be cut on your Havanese, but also how long the hair should be, as well as to what should be used to cut it with.  Havanese dogs are known for their soft, silky coats. However, their coats can quickly become matted and tangled if not groomed regularly. In this blog post, we will show you how to cut a Havanese dog's hair at home.
