Questions & Answers
Havaneses are an adorable toy breed originating from Cuba. They are part of the Bichon family and have a distinctive white and tan coat. They're known as people-pleasers, making them perfect family pets. Fun facts about Havaneses include that they are highly intelligent and athletic, so much so that they often compete in agility contests with other small breeds.
Havaneses are a relatively low-shedding breed and are generally considered to be a good fit for those with mild allergies. However, it is important to note that no dog is completely non-shedding; all dogs will experience some natural season shedding, and one should take this into consideration when determining if a Havaneses fits into their lifestyle. While low-shedding, Havaneses do require proper grooming to avoid overloading the coat and promoting shedding.
Your Havanese should be fed a diet of high-quality, nutritionally balanced, dry kibble formulated uniquely for small breeds. You should also supplement their diet with a variety of fresh human-grade foods and treats, with half of the treat intake consisting of high fiber, low-fat options. Additionally, treats should account no more than 10% of their daily calorie intake. Be mindful of treats and snacks loaded with sodium, sugar, additives, and preservatives and feed those sparingly.
Proper preparation is essential when bringing home a Havanese. Begin by puppy-proofing your home and making certain that it is safe and comfortable for your new furry family member. Research the breed and its special needs, such as dietary needs, exercise requirements and grooming tips. Schedule an appointment with a vet ahead of time and ensure that their vaccinations are up to date. Gather the supplies you will need: bed, toys, food, leash, collar and ID tag. During the first few months in your home, create a structured yet positive environment to help your pup adjust.
On average, Havaneses grow to be five to nine inches in height and weigh from seven to thirteen pounds. Although this is typical for a member of the Bichon family, individual Havaneses can vary substantially in size. Some may grow to be as large as fifteen inches tall, while other may weigh as much as eighteen to twenty pounds. Temperament and activity level also play a role in the size of a Havaneses — those who are more active may be larger than those who are not.
Absolutely! Havaneses are active little dogs who need a good amount of exercise each day. They are a joy to take on a walk or to a dog park. They love to just run around and play. Not only will they jump, chase, and explore, they also like to engage in all kinds of agility and other sports, such as tracking and flyball. They excel in any job or task you give them. That's why Havaneses make great therapy dogs. They are highly intelligent and respond quickly to commands.
Absolutely, Havaneses make great family dogs. Not only are they incredibly cute and cuddly, but they are also loyal and affectionate. They generally have a calm and easy-going personality and get along well with children and other pets. Havaneses are also very intelligent, and often relatively fast learners, as long as patience and consistent, positive training methods are employed. They excel in activities such as agility, frisbee, and obedience, bringing a lot of joy to the family home.
Training a Havanese is not necessarily difficult, but the breed does tend to be quite a bit more stubborn than some other breeds. Therefore, some patience, consistency, and a little bit of creativity may be necessary for successful training. Having a good handle on positive reinforcement training methods and being able to offer interesting and stimulating rewards will go a long way. That said, Havanese are known to be incredibly intelligent, eager to please and highly adaptable, so with the right approach a Havanese can be quite a quick learner.
