Questions & Answers

They are known to be a very social breed that loves to be cuddled and involved with their family. They are also incredibly intelligent, learning commands quickly and love to use their bodies and minds; making them great competitors in agility, obedience and more!

Yes, Havaneses are considered non-shedding. This means that they don’t typically shed large amounts of fur, making them great pets for people who don't want dog hair all over their home. In addition, their coats require minimal grooming and they tend to stay very clean. While they don't shed much, Havaneses do need brushing to keep their fur from matting. Grooming them regularly will also help maintain their coat's natural shine. Furthermore, Havaneses are hypoallergenic, which makes them an ideal pet for those with pet allergies.
Feeding a Havanese is an important part of caring for a canine companion. As with other small breeds, Havanese need diets that provide adequate amounts of fat, protein, and other nutrients. The best way to ensure this is through the use of a high-quality dog food that is specifically tailored to small breeds. Look for a food that is enriched with essential minerals, vitamins, and fiber. You should also consider adding fresh foods to your dog's diet, such as lean meats, vegetables, and healthy fats like omega-3s.
Preparing your home for your new Havanese is an important task that should not be overlooked. Before bringing your new furry friend home, make sure to create a safe, comfortable space for them to rest and play. Ensure that all toxic cleaning products and plants are out of the reach of your new furry friend, provide ample bedding that is easy to clean and maintain, create a safe area free of potential dangers (electrical cords, glass, and furniture that could easily be knocked over, etc.
Havaneses typically come in different varieties of sizes, ranging from Toy (4-7 lbs) to Standard (7-13 lbs) size. Depending on their gender, height and weight can vary, although generally males are larger than females. The Toy size will typically measure at 8-11 inches tall, and the Standard size at 11-14 inches tall. Though they are a small breed of dog, they have a long lifespan, and can usually fit comfortably into many living quarters.
Havaneses are energetic little dogs who need daily exercise for overall physical and mental well-being. This breed is active enough to need a long and brisk walk or run, at least once per day. If the activity is slowed and shortened, it can be divided into two 15-20 minute sessions throughout the day. Most Havaneses are active and enjoy agility sports, such as obstacle courses and potty exercises. Playing interactive, mentally stimulating games and providing engaging toys throughout the day are also great ways to keep your Havaneses mentally and physically sharp.
