Questions & Answers
The Havanese is the National Dog of Cuba and was believed to have been descended from the Bichon Tenerife. This is a toy breed which is well known for their intelligence and good nature, creating a perfect lapdog companion. They have a moderately long, wavy double coat that comes in several colors from black to silver, cream to chocolate. The breed is usually quiet and likes to cuddle and be around people. Interestingly, Havanese can also be trained to perform several tricks such as shaking hands, rolling over and backbending.
Havaneses are considered hypoallergenic, which means they may be less likely to trigger allergies in people who are allergic to certain types of dogs. Unfortunately, because of the Havaneses' long fur, they can still cause allergic reactions in some sensitive individuals. On the other hand, their hair does not shed as much as other breeds, which could lessen the amount of allergens produced. To be sure if a Havaneses is the right pet for your household, it may be a good idea to consult a veterinarian and have a thorough examination done prior to adoption.
Havaneses, a breed of small dog originating in Cuba, typically have a diet that is high in protein and low in fat. Commonly they are fed dry dog food, with the occasional snack of fresh fruits or vegetables. They have an affinity for the occasional diet of raw meats, including chicken, beef and pork, as well. Highly nutritious, complete diet is important to maintain their overall health. Many owners feed their Havaneses a homemade diet of pureed meats and pureed vegetables in order to make sure their pup is getting quality nutrition.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Havanese will take some dedication and effort. Start by researching the breed online and/or consulting with a professional about the breed's needs and characteristics. Additionally, determine where you will obtain your Havanese, such as a breeder or rescue organization. Also, acquire proper supplies and materials needed for raising your Havanese, like food, bedding, toys, and appropriate leash and collar. It is important to create a safe and comfortable area for your puppy to have when they arrive.
Havaneses come in a variety of sizes. Smaller dogs tend to average around 9-12 lbs, but the Havaneses can reach anywhere up to 22 lbs, depending on the age, health, and care of the dog. If you are looking for a pup from a breeder, usually their weight will be estimated when they are around six weeks old. As puppies mature, you can get a better estimate of the exact size of your Havaneses by paying attention to the size of their parents and older siblings.
Absolutely! Havaneses are highly active and energetic dogs. They love to play and run around, especially when they get the chance. These lively pups are often considered to be "wave makers" because they will often welcome newcomers with enthusiastic tail wagging. They are very intelligent dogs and need plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. As a toy-sized breed, Havaneses don't need a large backyard or much space for physical activity, but they always relish the opportunity for on-leash walks or play in the park.
Yes, Havaneses can be good with kids. They are known to be an intelligent, loyal, and social breed. These qualities make them well suited to households with children. They generally don't have aggressive tendencies and can be patient and tolerant with children while teaching them the appropriate way to interact with pets. The small size of the breed also makes them suitable for houses that have large families with kids. With proper socialization and training, it can be expected that Havaneses will make great companions for children.
Training a Havanese takes dedication and patience. Start by familiarizing your puppy with his or her name and basic commands like “sit” and “stay”. Introduce commands one at a time, and provide lots of positive reinforcement, like treats or praise, when your Havanese follows the commands. As your pup masters simple commands, gradually move on to more complex ones. Stick to a consistent training routine and practice at least several times each week.
