Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a unique dog breed that originated in Cuba. They are a cross between a Bichon Frise and a Miniature Poodle and can weigh between 6 and 12 pounds. They are smart and loyal, making them great family pets. They have a beautiful curly white coat and a black or brown mask. Fun fact: Havaneses are incredibly resilient to extreme temperatures due to their origins in tropical climates! Some may even live to be over 15 years old. They are also excellent with children and will often bond with a single child in the family.
Yes, Havaneses are considered hypoallergenic. They are a low-shedding breed with a low dander, meaning they are less likely to trigger an allergenic reaction in people with pet allergies. Havaneses also have a coat that is described as "non-shedding", which can further reduce the amount of allergens in people's homes. Although no breed of dog is truly hypoallergenic, Havaneses can definitely be a good choice for those who suffer from mild allergies but still want their very own furry pet.
Havanese are typically small, active dogs that require a balanced diet that is nutritionally complete. Look for a high-quality, premium dog food that is specific for small breeds. Look for one that meets all of their nutritional needs. A veterinarian can be consulted for advice on which food is best for your particular Havanese. It is important to avoid fillers and choose a formula that contains lean proteins, whole grains and essential fatty acids that can help maintain a healthy coat and skin.
Before bringing your new Havanese home, it's important to prepare your home for the pup. Start by stocking lots of puppy-safe toys, chew bones, and treat dispensers. Make sure that all hazards are out of reach, including wires, rubber bands and any other small items a curious pup could ingest. Next, puppy-proof your furniture with covers and foam pieces to prevent chewing and scratching. Lastly, set boundaries with your pup. Decide where your pup is allowed to sleep, eat, and go to the bathroom.
Havanese dogs come in only one size. Although the breed standard specifies a height range for the breed of 8 to 11 1/2 inches at the withers, Havanese puppies tend to reach their adult size within the first year of life. The breed is considered a toy breed and should be proportioned accordingly, with the overall shape being a cube-like structure. Notwithstanding their small size, Havanese dogs can have a huge personality and an outgoing, affectionate, and most importantly, loving nature.
Havaneses are typically an active breed with lots of energy to spare, so they need a good deal of exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. Generally speaking, they should be given the opportunity to get at least thirty minutes of structured exercise and playtime each day. If possible, owners should aim to provide their Havaneses with access to both structured, organized exercise as well as ample opportunities to run and play off-leash in parks and other safe, secure places. Additionally, they will benefit from any other activities, like swimming, agility courses, or walks.
Absolutely! Havaneses make fabulous family pets. They are very devoted and loving to their families, and love to be a part of the action. They thrive on attention and love to be around their family members. They are very social, playful and active, which makes them perfect companions. They are great with children and love to play with them. They have a good amount of energy and are also good at following instructions, which make them easier to train.
Training your Havanese requires commitment and patience. Gather positive treats and rewards to use as incentives for training. Establish the crate and use it for short-term confinement for potty and training purposes. Teach your Havanese basic commands like sit, down and stay, praise when the commands are performed, repeating the commands several times until they become part of your Havanese's routine. When teaching commands, use a calm and soothing voice, remain consistent, and keep the training sessions short and exciting.
