Questions & Answers

It is also known to bond closely with its owner, making it an excellent companion animal. Havanese have a long coat of soft, silky fur that comes in a variety of colors. They are relatively low-maintenance and require regular brushing and occasional haircuts to keep their fur looking its best. Havanese have an average lifespan of 13 to 15 years, and they generally weigh between 7 and 13 pounds.
The Havanese coat is double-layered, usually long and soft with a slight sheen. It can come in a variety of colors, from solid black to white to cream with touches of grey, brown, or tan. It's sometmes curly or wavy, so it's important to be committed to regular grooming. This breed does not shed, but requires daily brushing and occasional clipping or trimming to keep their coat looking healthy and tidy. Regular bathing with a gentle shampoo helps keep their coat smooth and silky.
When feeding your Havanese, it is always best to provide a high quality, balanced diet that meets their special nutritional needs. A diet of protein-rich, species-appropriate food is ideal. This can be commercially prepared, or a homemade diet made with fresh quality ingredients such as high-quality meat, poultry, fish, and occasional eggs, along with fresh fruits and vegetables. Always ensure the food is free of dangerous toxins or contaminants and that it matches Havanese’s size and activity level.
In order to properly prepare your home for a Havanese, you should ensure that the space is comfortable and safe. Start by puppy-proofing your home by cleaning up any small objects and potential choking hazards, cover electrical cords, and block off any spaces that your puppy may get stuck in such as stairs or furniture. Make sure to have food and water dishes, toys, a crate or playpen, and a bed set up in a designated area and comfortable enough for your pup to rest.
Havaneses are typically considered to be a small breed, though within the breed size can range. Adult Havaneses usually measure around eight to 11 inches in height and usually weigh around seven to 13 pounds. Though they may not be as large as some other breeds of dogs, they're still full of energy and can be quite lively. Generally, if cared for properly, Havaneses tend to have a healthy, long life.
Havaneses, also known as Cuban Coton de Tulears, are a lively and energetic breed of small dog that require regular exercise for both physical and mental stimulation. While the exact amount of physical activity and playtime a Havaneses needs varies based on age, sex and health, as a general rule experts recommend Havaneses receive at least 30 minutes of physical and mental exercise each day. This should include a combination of activities like brisk walks, playtime and learning activities.
Absolutely! Havaneses can make great family dogs because they are known to be affectionate, energetic and loyal. They typically form close, loving bonds with their owners, meaning they are willing to put in the effort to build a long-term relationship. Havaneses also love playing with children, as they are innately gentle and patient enough to handle the extra energy and noise that come with having children in the house. Havaneses aim to please their owners and family members, so they can be trained to follow rules and commands fairly easily.
Training a Havanese is not necessarily an easy task to undertake, but it can be done with patience, consistency, and correct techniques. Havanese puppies and dogs are generally quite intelligent and can be taught basic commands and tricks. With positive reinforcement, such as treats and praises, Havanese are very eager to please their owners. It is important to start training right away when the puppy arrives home, as it is much easier to teach good habits than to break bad ones. Surprisingly, they are quick learners and they can even be trained to be obedient.
