Following Columbus, one group of early European settlers to Cuba came from Tenerife, itself a small island under Spanish rule in the chain of islands now collectively known as the Canary Islands.

Their numbers have rebounded since that time, and the Havanese regularly rank in the top 50 of registered breeds in America based on total numbers. Continue reading
