Questions & Answers
Havaneses are quite unique compared to other breeds. For starters, they have a plethora of hypoallergenic qualities and are deemed to have a low-shedding coat. Another fun fact is that they're known to have both a strong work ethic, despite their small size, and high intelligence. It's common for people to say a Havaneses has a "cat-like" personality due to their independence, cunningness, and affectionate nature. Still, they often possess the same good-naturedness as many other breeds.
Havaneses are indeed non-shedding, making their coats easy to maintain. Though they have a long coat, you will only have to deal with minimal shedding, as the breed is hypoallergenic and considerered a low shedding breed. They require regular brushing and combing to keep the coat from tangles and matting but don't require trimming or professional grooming. In addition, regular baths and brushing their teeth will help keep their long coats healthy and tangle-free.
Havanese are bright, active, and inquisitive dogs that enjoy a balanced diet. Typically, these dogs require high-quality, grain-free kibble with the appropriate amount of nutrient-rich proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Additionally, supplementing the kibble with occasional servings of raw or home-cooked food, such as lean meats and whole grains, can provide a variety of additional nutrients. For example, some Havanese may benefit from fish oils and protein-dense vegetables as well as vitamins and minerals to ensure proper health.
Prior to bringing home your Havanese, it is important to take a few precautionary measures. Make sure that your home is puppy proof to minimize danger and disruptions. Block off any areas of your home that you don't want your pup to explore and use baby gates if needed. Remove any small items that may be a choking hazard or easily destroyed and keep electrical cords out of reach. Establish a designated area for food, water, and appropriate chew toys, as well as a potty spot and a comfortable sleeping area.
Havaneses are considered to be a small breed of dog, which typically remain between 6-7.5 inches tall at the shoulder. The American Kennel Club states that their ideal size is between the 7-9 pound range, although it is possible to find some larger variations. They usually don't exceed 11 pounds. Havaneses have a compact, muscular body and a hard, wiry coat that comes in a variety of colors, including black and white, cream, slate, mahogany and silver.
The amount of exercise that is appropriate for your Havanese will vary depending upon the age and health of your pet. Generally speaking, an adult Havanese should have at least a half hour of daily activity. This could be a minimum of two 15 minute walks, or a longer 30 minute walk. Puppies or senior dogs may need even more. Engaging in some interactive playtime such as fetch or agility activities can also be beneficial. If your Havanese becomes tired before the half hour is up, take a break and then end the activity.
Yes, Havaneses are quite good with kids. Their intelligent and gentle nature make them great companions for children. They will play with kids and keep them safe, adding a level of security that is essential in any household. Havaneses are one of the most friendly breeds, and they are also obedient and eager to please, making them ideal companions for a family with young children. Additionally, Havaneses are not overly active, and they don't require a lot of outdoor activity which makes them conformable to fit into the day-to-day life of a family.
Training your Havanese is a rewarding experience for both you and your pup. To help ensure your and your pup's success, start with establishing basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' using only positive reinforcement techniques such as clicker training and treats. You can also use frequent repetition and verbal praise as rewards. In addition, teaching healthy habits from the start is important to encourage good behaviors such as pottying outside and being gentle with other animals.
