Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, intelligent, outgoing, and highly trainable dog breed originating from Cuba. It is a social, cheerful, and people-oriented companion that is well-suited for city or country living. They have a long, silky coat that can be wavy or curly, come in a variety of colors, and require regular brushing and occasional grooming. Havanese are famously loyal and make excellent watchdogs, yet they are surprisingly mild-mannered with children and other pets.
Havaneses are highly prized for their low-shedding coats, making them quite popular as companion pets. In general, these dogs produce very little shedding, but no breed comes with an absolute guarantee when it comes to shedding. A regular brushing regimen will help keep the hair at a minimum and a balanced diet is known to have a positive effect too. You should still be aware that all dogs, even non-shedding breeds like the Havaneses, can cause allergic reactions and cause non-allergic respiratory issues.
A Havanese is an energetic and intelligent breed of dog, so it is important to feed them a balanced, nutritious diet. Ideally, you should provide a high-quality, vet-recommended dry dog food with a good ratio of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The exact ratio that is best for your specific Havanese will depend on its age, activity level, and any health-related issues. Additionally, you should supplement your Havanese’s diet with wet food, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, and poultry.
As excited as you are to welcome your new Havanese puppy home, there are a few steps you can take to become the best puppy parent you can be while you wait. Start by researching and familiarizing yourself with the breed. Read up on their temperament and common medical issues, as well as how to properly groom and feed them; this information will help you be more prepared once your pup arrives. Additionally, create a safe and inviting puppy-proof space in your home. Make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as food and water dishes, a crate and a collection of toys.
Havaneses are small-to-medium-sized dogs, with males typically weighing around 14-18 pounds and females typically weighing 12-16 pounds. They have a square stature when looking from the front and have a moderately long body when looking from the side. The height at the shoulder can range from 8-11 inches. On average, Havaneses reach full growth and maturity within a year or two and won't get any larger after that.
A Havanese should be walked for at least 30 minutes every day. Depending on your dog's activity level, you may want to increase the amount of time spent on walks to an hour. Keeping your Havanese active and entertained is important for their mental and physical health. Walks can provide an opportunity for your pup to interact with its environment and burn off excess energy. Additionally, regular walks will help you better understand your Havanese's needs and strengthen your bond with your pet.
Absolutely! Havaneses tend to be very friendly and loving dogs, which makes them great companions for children. They can be trusted to be gentle and tolerant, but still possess an eagerness to please and interact with their owners which makes them an ideal pet for families with kids. Havaneses are always eager to snuggle and be petted, and their small size makes it easy for even small children to handle them. They love being around people, and won't shy away from performing tricks like other small breeds.
Training your Havanese is an important part of ensuring that it is a well-behaved, friendly pup. It is essential to remain consistent while training, providing the same commands in the same way. Begin by teaching commands such as 'Sit' and 'Stay' and offering a treat when they do what you ask. Be consistent when correcting behaviors; scolding and praise should be given in the same way on a regular basis. It is important to think of training as a game; have fun and use lots of positive reinforcement.
