Whether you’re thinking of buying a Havanese mix or you’re just curious to learn about how many there are and what the best Havanese mix is – you’ve come to the right place.
The Havanese is a small dog breed that originated in the 15th century in Cuba – it’s part of the Bichon family of dogs and was bred to be a family pet.
It was an extremely popular choice among the Cuban aristocracy, especially in Havana – therefore, it was given the name Havanese.
The Havanese dog breed has long been admired and sought-after due to its intelligence, expressive eyes, tiny stature, easy-going temperament, and lovable personality – all of which make it the ideal family dog for both first-time Havanese parents and experienced canine enthusiasts alike.
Apart from being a wonderful family companion, the Havanese is also able to excel in the show ring – it’s able to quickly learn new tricks, compete in dog sports, and, if bred to the American Kennel Club’s breed standard, a Havanese dog can even become a conformation Champion.
That said, as popular as the purebred Havanese breed is, over the years they have been cross-bred with lots of other dog breeds in order to create even cuter pups – the most renowned of these crossbreeds are the Havachon, the Cavanese, and the Havamalt.
Of course, there are twenty-seven more Havanese mixed breeds that you need to know about – and we’ve covered them all in this article.
So, without further ado, let’s check out the thirty Havanese mixes in existence and what makes these adorable pups unique.

30. Blue Havanese – Havanese x Blue Heeler
The thirtieth and final Havanese mix we have on this list is the Blue Havanese – even though you might think it’s just a blue-colored Havanese puppy, it’s actually a hybrid of the Havanese and the Blue Heeler (also called the Australian Cattle Dog).
This is one of the rarest Havanese mixes you can find – the Australian Cattle Dog is very energetic and was bred to be a herding dog, so a Blue Havanese dog might inherit its parent’s herding ability.
The Blue Havanese – although affectionate, curious, and playful in puppyhood – quickly grows out of its puppy stage and becomes a serious watchdog, but still retains a soft spot for its loved ones.
With proper training and early socialization, Blue Havanese dogs can be friendly and affectionate companion dogs – but they will still need lots of exercise in order to stay healthy in the long run.
