Havaneses come in a variety of sizes, depending on the line or breeder, but typically they range between 7 to 12 inches high at the shoulder and weigh between 7 and 13 pounds. These dogs have long, thick coats that can modify an individual's size, making them appear larger than they really are. Though the ideal size for Havaneses is hard to define, many experts hold that the ones that are too small or too large are not considered as good quality.
Havaneses are an active breed, so they should have plenty of daily exercise in order to remain healthy and happy. Ideally, Havaneses should receive 20-30 minutes of exercise daily in the form of walks or runs, plus an additional 10-15 minutes of mentally stimulating activities, such as daily playtime or agility training. That said, exercises should be tailored to each individual pup based on factors such as their age, size, unique health needs and energy level. Exercising too much can be just as detrimental as not enough, so be sure not to overexert your pup!
