Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a companion breed of dog originating from Cuba. The Havanese is a small dog, typically weighing between 7 and 13lbs (3 to 6kgs). They have a soft, silky coat that comes in whites, creams, apricot, black, and various shades of brown. Havanese are friendly dogs, making them perfect for families with children or other pets. They are also intelligent, making them easy to train. Havanese generally have a sweet and spunky personality, and enjoy spending time with their owners.
Absolutely! Havaneses are known as being one of the few non-shedding breeds out there. This breed is classified as hypoallergenic, which is a great plus for any allergy sufferers. Their coat is short and won't drop any fur or dander, making them a great choice for anyone who doesn't want to deal with the mess and hassle of a shedding dog. Moreover, their coats need to be brushed weekly to maintain a healthy, shiny appearance, which means less time and worry spent cleaning up pet hair off the furniture and floors.
Yes, Havaneses do have special dietary needs, as they are small breeds and hence require a diet that meets all their nutritional needs and weight goals. As they have a short nose, it is necessary that their food is moist and easy to digest. A veterinarian might prescribe a dry or wet food specifically designed for small breeds. Also, Havaneses tend to be prone to gaining weight, so their owners must practice portion control and watch for signs of overfeeding.
Before bringing home your new Havanese, it's important that you take the time to prepare your home. Start by doing an initial home safety inspection to make sure there are no hazards, such as electrical cords to chew on or easily accessible toxins. Next, make sure you have all the necessary supplies, such as a crate, a bed, food bowls, toys, pet-safe shampoo, and flea and tick medicine. Finally, ensure you have the time needed to dedicate to caring for the Havanese.
Although Havaneses may appear small in size, they are generally larger than toy or mini breeds, and can reach up to 12 pounds in weight. Nonetheless, compared to many other breeds, such as Labrador Retrievers or German Shepherds, which weigh around 60 and 90 pounds respectively, Havaneses are considered a fairly small breed. Havaneses can have longer and heavier coats, although their coat is considered more of a medium coat length and may be longer on their ears, legs, and tail.
The amount of time you walk with your Havanese each day depends on their age, size, and health. For adult Havanese weighing less than six pounds, a good guideline is to walk them for about 20 minutes twice a day. Younger Havanese will typically need more exercise with a range of 15 to 30 minutes two to three times a day. If your Havanese is larger than six pounds, or if they have an underlying health condition, you should consult your veterinarian for specific recommendations. During playtime, you should also provide toys and activities for their mental and physical stimulation.
Generally, Havaneses get along well with other pets. They are known for their amiable and friendly personalities, and enjoyment of companionship. They may be housemates with other canines, cats, birds, and other small animals if they are introduced to them properly, as long as there are not any pre-existing aggression issues. Socialization with other animals is important for them as puppies, and it can help to ensure that the pup grows up happily living alongside other animals.
Havaneses are known to be bright and intuitive animals, with many studies showing that this breed ranks among the most intelligent of canines. There have been numerous reports from owners that their Havaneses have picked up commands quickly, often learning several commands in a short amount of time. They can be extremely eager to learn and entertaining, with excellent problem-solving skills. Many Havaneses have even been taught how to do tricks and play games, showcasing their impressive capacity to think through challenges.
