Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a type of small dog, with a height range of 7-11 inches and a weight range of 5-13 pounds. They are often referred to as ‘Bichon Havanese’ since they are officially classified as a member of the Bichon Family of breeds. Havaneses have a lovely, friendly temperament and make very pleasant companions. Generally, they get along well with other pets and children, provided they have had a good start with socialization.
Many people have heard that Havaneses are hypoallergenic, but the truth is a bit more complicated. While they do not lose a lot of fur like other dogs, they still do shed some which means that they can lead to allergic reactions in some people. They also produce dander, which can cause allergic reactions in people with sensitivities. The best approach for anyone who may be allergic to dogs is to consult a doctor and/or allergist for testing and possible treatments.
Havaneses, also known as Havana Silk Dogs, may have specific dietary needs depending on their unique breed and size. Generally, though, Havaneses should be given balanced, nutritionally adequate meals every day, consisting of high quality kibble or a combination of kibble and wet food. The meal should include proteins such as chicken, fish or eggs, fruits and vegetables for their daily vitamin and mineral needs, healthy fats and carbohydrates for energy, and vitamins or minerals as approved by your veterinarian.
To best prepare for your new Havanese, start by familiarizing yourself with the breed. Read up and learn the breed's temperament, exercise needs, and dietary requirements. Additionally, pick up supplies and set up your pet's space, such as their bedding, toys, food, and water bowls. Try to get familiar with the breed before your new furry friend arrives, so they feel more comfortable when they enter a home environment. Then, be sure to provide a lot of love and attention to properly bond with your pet and set the foundation for a lifetime of incredible memories together.
The size of your Havanese puppy will depend on many factors such as genetics, diet, and exercise. Generally, Havanese puppies are considered a small-breed and will reach a size of 8-11 inches tall and can weigh up to 15 pounds when fully grown. It's important to note that the size of your puppy may fluctuate throughout its growth as it changes in shape and skeletal maturity. Experienced breeders will be able to provide better estimates of the size of your puppy based on their experience with the breed.
Walking your Havanese is a great way to keep them happy and healthy. The amount of time you should walk them each day will depend on their age, weight, and overall physical condition. Generally speaking, older dogs will need shorter walks while younger, more active dogs can handle longer ones. An ideal daily walk should last between 20-30 minutes. For puppies, shorter walks, lasting no longer than 5 minutes each may be more appropriate until they are a bit older.
Yes, Havaneses make great family dogs. Their friendly and playful attitude, combined with their intelligence and loyalty, makes them great companions and wonderful additions to any household. Havaneses are usually well-behaved, with some basic training they can quickly learn simple commands and even more complicated tasks. They also enjoy being around other people and animals, making them ideal members of the family. Lastly, Havaneses have a low-shedding coat, which makes them less of a burden when it comes to caring for their coats.
Training your Havanese requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Start by teaching your pet basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." Be sure to reward your pup when they obey commands with treats, praise, or a verbal cue that they recognize as positive reinforcement. Next, introduce the concept of walking on a leash in small steps, starting indoors. With patience and practice, your pup will soon recognize that stopping and not pulling away is beneficial and will likely become excited to take walks.
