Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, lovable, and playful breed of dog that originated in Cuba. Havanese have a long and silky coat that can come in a variety of colors, and they often have a teddy bear-like face. The breed is lively and curious, making them a wonderful and dedicated companion for many years. Havanese are intelligent and easy to train, often participating in obedience competitions, agility trials, and other canine events. They are known for their friendliness and get along with children as well as other pets in the household.
Havaneses are considered to be a relatively low-shedding breed of dog. They possess a thick, wooly, double coat that gives them an incredible softness. Unlike many breeds, the coat of a Havaneses only requires minimal management and grooming; and instead of shedding, the hair can matt, so it is important to keep a Havaneses well groomed. While they do have a regular and vigorous shedding period, it can usually be minimized by brushing combing and trimming. Some Havaneses owners have reported no shedding at all.
Yes, Havaneses do have some special dietary needs that should be taken into account. As a small breed, they are not particularly prone to obesity, but can easily become overweight if over-fed, so it is important to monitor their food intake and follow a diet that is appropriate for their energy needs. They can benefit from a high-protein, low-carbohydrate meal plan, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Omega-3 and fatty acids are also important for healthy skin and coat, and can be found in foods like fish and flaxseed.
Preparing for your new Havanese pup is an exciting time! Before bringing your pup home, it’s important to gather the necessary supplies for them as well as familiarize yourself with the breed. First, make sure to invest in quality food, treats, toys and a sturdy bed, as well as any other items specific to the breed. Spend some time researching their exercise and grooming needs and make sure to balance your pup’s diet appropriately. Having a basic understanding of training and the breed’s temperament will also help the acclimation process for you and your pup.
Havaneses are considered to be a small dog breed, and typically reach a height of 9 to 11 inches at the shoulder and a weight of 7 to 13 pounds. This makes them the perfect size for just about any lifestyle, whether you live in an apartment or a large home. Depending on the individual size of the dog, this breed can sometimes reach up to 16 inches in height and a maximum of 18 pounds in weight, but generally, overall size doesn't exceed the limits stated above.
The amount of exercise you should give your Havanese each day will depend on their age and health condition, however, as a guideline, an adult dog should receive at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. Puppies should start with 5 minutes, then gradually add on a few minutes daily. Walking and playing with your Havanese is an excellent way to meet their daily exercise requirements. If your dog becomes tired, take a rest to keep them from overdoing it; it's possible to let your pup burn out, or cause injury if they overexert themselves.
Yes, Havaneses make excellent family dogs! They are incredibly loyal and loving companions that are often considered to have human-like personalities. They are small but strong and have a spunky, outgoing attitude that makes them a delight for all ages. Because they can adapt well to most environments, they can be a great addition to almost any family. They are also intelligent and tend to be very eager to please and easy to train. As an added bonus, Havaneses don't shed much or have strong doggy odors, making them ideal for those with allergies.
Training your Havanese is relatively simple due to their intelligence and socialness. First, you'll want to establish yourself as the "alpha" at home. This helps ensure the pup respects boundaries and understands that the person in charge is you. Make sure you have just one person acting as the "alpha" as multiple alpha individuals can confuse a pup. Secondly, focus on positive reinforcement methods when training. While correction is sometimes necessary, it's important to reward your Havanese puppy whenever they do something right.
