The Havanese Club of America has conducted two large health surveys. The conclusion of the most recent (2012) survey is:
The Havanese breed is basically healthy overall. As with any breed, there are inherited health problems that affect Havanese. The breed is fortunate that most of these problems are not life threatening. Through diligent health testing and open communication, Havanese breeders hope to maintain the health of the breed.
