Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a small, sturdy dog breed typically weighing between 6 and 12 pounds. They are gentle, intelligent, and loving family dogs that are popular both as companions and as show dogs. They have a very easygoing and cheerful disposition, which makes them a great choice for households with children or other animals. Havaneses have a thick, textured coat that comes in many colors, including black, white, lemon, chocolate, and cream. They are known to be quite good at learning tricks and they can easily be taught to walk on a leash.
Yes, in general, Havaneses are considered to be non-shedding dogs. As a Bichon type breed, these little lap dogs tend to have short, soft coats that mostly stay put, rather than ending up all over the house. Because they have an overall low-shedding coat, this is an ideal breed choice for those with allergies, who want to enjoy the presence of a pet in their lives. Not only are Havaneses easy to groom, but they also require little-to-no maintenance.
Havaneses do have special dietary needs because they are a small breed of dog. In addition to needing more proteins, they also require a diet that is low in fat and carbohydrates as Havaneses are more prone to obesity than other breeds. It is important to feed them a balanced diet with a variety of nutrients to keep them healthy. It is also important to provide plenty of water to ensure adequate hydration. Additionally, reducing treats and foods with high sugar content can help prevent dental problems that are common among Havaneses.
Preparing your home for a new Havanese pup is an exciting yet important task. Before bringing your pup home, you'll want to create a safe and comfortable environment where he or she can grow, learn and thrive. There are a few steps you can take to ready your home ahead of time. Firstly, invest in sturdy and safe pet-friendly furniture, toys and crates. Make sure to set up a designated potty area, provide several water and food bowls, and designate a specific space for your pup to rest and sleep.
It is difficult to predict the exact size of a Havanese puppy as they have great variation in size due to the different size categories in the breed standard. Generally, however, they fall within the "Toy" size range, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). This means they typically grow to be between 8 and 11 inches tall and weigh between 7 and 13 pounds. Even though they are a small breed, they have big personalities and will fill your home with lots of love and playfulness!
It is recommended that owners walk their Havanese for at least 20-30 minutes per day. This exercise is important for both their physical and mental health. Keeping up a regular daily schedule of exercise helps keep the Havanese in good condition. It also helps strengthen the bond between the pet and its owner. A walk once a day is sufficient, however, if your Havanese is feeling particularly active, adding a few additional walks each day may be suitable. Incorporating a variety of activities such as games and play into the walking routine is always beneficial for the pet.
Havaneses are known as excellent family dogs, and for good reason. They are intelligent, easy to train, and utterly devoted to their human companions. Even more, these lively little dogs tend to stay playful and energetic even into old age. Havaneses tend to be good with children and other dogs, making them a great choice for families. They can also be good watchdogs due to their alert nature, but may bark more than some owners prefer. They will require a fair amount of daily exercise, but, given their relatively small size, can generally fit easily into most any home.
Training a Havanese is certainly achievable, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. It is important to keep training sessions short, as this breed tends to tire quickly. They are also very intelligent and easily bored, so it is essential to make training fun and use plenty of positive reinforcement. They respond particularly well to rewards such as treats, verbal praise, and opportunities for walking and playing. Consistent, gentle and patience is the key to successful training. Even if a task seems impossible at first, offering encouragement and persisting can easily turn a stumbling block into a success.
