Questions & Answers
Havaneses are known as a designer breed, meaning they are a combination of two pure breeds of dogs, the Bichon Frise and the Cuban Cotileen. They are highly intelligent, friendly, and affectionate dogs, making them a great choice for homes with children and other pets. They are also loyal and protective of their family. Fun facts about Havaneses include that they are incredibly trainable, an excellent watchdog, and have an average lifespan of up to 16 years.
Yes, Havaneses are non-shedding; due to this they are often favored by people who want a companion without the need to constantly vacuum and dust. Being non-shedding is due to the fact that this breed of dog has a uniquely fine, soft, single coat layer that works to retain hair instead of shedding it. Additionally, the breed has a unique curl on the end of its coat which helps insulate them from the cold and also helps prevent hair from falling out making them an excellent breed for people who may suffer from allergies.
As a Havanese owner, providing your pup with the right nutrition is essential to their health and longevity. Feeding your pup a balanced diet specifically formulated for a small dog can ensure that they're receiving all of the nutrients they need. Dog food should be rich in animal proteins along with whole-grain carbohydrates, quality fats, and fruits and vegetables. Look for foods that are free of chemicals, preservatives, and artificial colors, and always strive to provide your pup with fresh, nutrient-dense food.
Becoming the best puppy parent while awaiting your Havanese takes preparation. Before the puppy comes home, research the Havanese breed and the needs of your particular puppy. Set up a safe, comfortable play area for your puppy and have your home puppy-proofed for when the puppy comes home. Set a daily routine for feeding, naps, and playtime. Seek out books, videos, and other reliable sources to study puppy training and socialization. Visit your veterinarian regularly and make sure your puppy is up-to-date on vaccinations.
Havaneses come in a variety of sizes, ranging from toy size (under 10 lbs.) all the way up to "standard" size, which is larger than 10 lbs. Generally they are long-bodied, with a longer torso and shorter legs, so they are often considered to be a small breed. While the size of Havaneses may vary, the standard size is approximately 8-11 lbs. Depending on their parents and upbringing, some Havaneses may be larger or smaller.
The amount of exercise needed by your Havanese is dependent on their age, size, health and individual fitness level. Generally, they should get at least 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise per day, with some additional time dedicated to play and reinforcement training. Depending on your pup’s energy level and overall health, they may be able to handle up to an hour of exercise every day, split into several shorter sessions.
Absolutely, Havaneses are great with kids! This perky, loveable breed is known for their desire to please and their affection for those around them. They have a strong tendency to want to be around children and to become a part of the family. They're known to be easy to train, gentle, and understanding when it comes to kids, quickly becoming loyal companions to little ones. they are also a very intelligent breed and thrive on consistent training, as well as heaps of attention and stimulation.
Training a Havanese requires patience, consistency, and ample positive reinforcement. Start by incorporating basic obedience training into your daily routine. Start by teaching your pup simple commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' with the help of treats or rewards. Even just a few minutes of training each day can have a significant impact. Don't forget about potty training and avoid punishing bad behavior as this has the potential to cause fear and resentment. Keep training sessions positive and fun, mixing up your training methods to keep your pup engaged.
