Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a rare breed of dogs originating in Cuba, and are widely recognized for their intelligence, playfulness and loyalty. They have a distinctive white, curly fur and are sometimes known as the 'Famously Bichonn Frise'. Fun facts about Havaneses include their trademark cheerful disposition, which makes them great family dogs; their ability to adapt well to new environments; their compatibility with cats and other animals; their lack of both seasonal shedding and doggy odors; and their high level of trainability.
Havaneses are considered a hypoallergenic breed, meaning they have low-allergen fur and produce fewer allergens than most breeds. This is because the coat of the Havaneses is made up of a single, non-shedding layer of fur, and the Havaneses are a smaller breed; the smaller size of the breed makes it less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Additionally, the fur of the Havaneses itself is considered to be on the softer side.
Yes, Havaneses do have some special dietary needs. They are both very active and have a tendency to become overweight, so a diet for them needs to be balanced with appropriate amounts of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. A diet that is high-fat and high-calorie can lead to obesity and other health issues. It is also important to provide variety and good quality of food for a healthy diet for Havaneses. This can include things like fresh fruits and vegetables as well as lean meats. Feeding them too many processed foods can lead to obesity and other nutrient deficiencies.
Preparation is key to having a happy and successful experience with your new Havanese companion. To begin, familiarize yourself with the breed and understand the specific needs of your puppy. Research the methods of daily care, grooming, nutrition, and exercise that the breed requires. Additionally, create a secure living space for your new pet. Set up an appropriate area to be the pet’s safe haven, equipped with cushions, bedding, toys, and other furniture for their enjoyment.
Havaneses are a toy dog breed of the Bichon type and they typically reach a height of 8-11 inches and a weight of 7-13lbs. There is no specific size range for Havaneses and they can vary in size depending on individual genetics, diet and exercise routines. However, Havaneses are generally small in size and so would not be suitable for larger breeds of dog that require more exercise space. Some breeders may produce larger Havaneses and this should be discussed prior to purchasing a puppy.
It is recommended that a Havanese be walked for at least 10-15 minutes a day. This is a minimum recommendation, if you are able to increase the time your pup spends walking, all the better. With this breed, it is important to remember that short and frequent walks are better than longer and infrequent ones. After all, this is a small dog, and a fairly active one at that.
Absolutely, Havaneses make wonderful companions for children. They are smart and affectionate, and they tend to be very gentle and obedient with young children. Havaneses are loyal and outgoing, so they will be sure to be a big hit with your kids. Furthermore, because of their small size and easygoing nature, Havaneses make great lap dogs, perfect for cuddling up with your family for nap time, bedtime, or anytime. Despite their friendly personalities and eagerness for play time, Havaneses are relatively calm dogs that are generally content to relax with the family.
Absolutely! Havaneses are known for their intelligence and their strong desire to learn. They are very trainable and eager to please, as well as being highly sociable and loving. Havaneses are quick to pick up on commands, are quick learners and typically offer obedience after mastering a new skill. They possess an excellent memory, grasp concepts easily and catch on to cues quickly. They can also get along with other animals due to their calm, friendly and almost human-like intelligence. All these qualities combined make Havaneses one of the smartest breeds around.
