Questions & Answers
Havaneses are small, intelligent, and loving companion dogs that originated from the island of Cuba. They are known for their talent in training and their irresistibly soft, fluffy coats of white, black and tan fur. They typically live 10-12 years and are quite energetic and require daily physical and mental stimulation. The Havaneses also has a unique structure – its short legs and short tail are complimented by its large eyes and ears, making it stand out from other breeds.
Havaneses, also known as the Cuban Bichon, are considered a non-shedding breed. This is why they are such great companion pets for people with allergies. Generally, they don't shed much and when they do, the amount is minimal. Unlike other small, toy breeds, they also have very soft, silky fur which very rarely tangles or mats. Combined with the fact that they don't shed often, this means they require regular grooming and brushing, which helps to maintain their fur.
Havaneses typically eat an omnivorous diet consisting of a variety of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Common sources of protein for Havaneses include fish, eggs, poultry, and red meat. Common carbohydrates include potatoes, rice, pasta, and maize. Fruits and vegetables, including squash, tomatoes, apples, and carrots, are also a major part of their diet. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, are also widely consumed.
Before you bring your new Havanese home, it's important to make sure that your house will provide a safe and comfortable environment. Start by moving any hazardous items such as cleaning chemicals, sharp objects, and small objects that the pup can swallow out of reach. Install baby gates or use closed doors for any area you don't want them to explore. Place potty pads in appropriate areas and begin crate training; you don't want to scold your pup for going somewhere it shouldn't have gone.
Havaneses come in a variety of sizes ranging from toy size to small to medium. Generally, toy size Havaneses are shorter than 10 inches while small Havaneses range from 10 inches to 12 inches. Medium Havaneses measure up to 14 inches in height. These sizes may vary slightly according to the particular Havaneses breed. The size of a Havaneses is determined by its parent breeds since some breeds are naturally larger than others.
Havaneses are an active breed, but the amount of exercise they need depends on their age and health status. Generally speaking, Havaneses tend to require moderate activity, such as at least one good walk each day. However, you should adjust their activity level to suit their individual needs, as they may be particularly active or low-energy. As such, the best advice is to ensure that your Cahvanaise has enough opportunities to move around and play throughout the day, so that they can stay fit and happy.
Havaneses are well-known for their friendly demeanor and make great family dogs. They are small and compact, which makes them well-suited for living in small apartments, but their personality traits make them a perfect choice for larger homes as well. Since they are incredibly loyal and eager to please, Havaneses are a smart and dependable breed. They are also highly social, so they require plenty of attention, making them an ideal pet for families that have the time to spare.
Training your Havanese can be quite an enjoyable and rewarding experience, especially when done correctly. The first step is to establish yourself as the pack leader this means being patient and giving your little furry friend consistent but firm guidance. To ensure success, it is important to keep the training sessions short and sweet providing plenty of rewards for your pup when he does the right thing is key. Aim for 5-10 minutes per session, three times a day.
