Questions & Answers
Havaneses are incredibly interesting companion dogs. They have a zest for life that makes them both inquisitive and endlessly entertained. Havaneses are loyal and loving, making them great family companions. In addition to their playful personalities, Havaneses have peculiar characteristics that make them stand out from other breeds. Havaneses have a distinctive 'top knot' of fur on their head, are incredibly intelligent, and have unique 'drop ears' that contribute to their signature look. They are often seen wearing clothes and accessories as well, adding to their fun-loving character.
While no breed of dog is hypoallergenic, Havaneses are considered a hypoallergenic breed due to their low level of shedding and lack of an undercoat. They typically do not cause allergies, however, it is possible that some people may experience allergies due to a reaction to dander from any dog. Since every individual reacts differently to animals, those with allergies should approach any dog with caution. To minimize the risk of an allergic reaction, it is important to bathe and groom a Havaneses regularly and keep the animal away from those with allergies.
Havaneses, also called Havanesers, may be fed a variety of meals depending on the pet parent's preference. Generally speaking, owners may choose a combination of dry and wet food, as well as occasional human-grade treats as a reward. A balanced diet should include high-quality proteins, such as lean chicken, beef, and fish, and complex carbohydrates, including whole grains and vegetables. Additionally, these little pooches should receive tiny amounts of crushed or cooked eggshells for calcium.
Before adopting a Havanese, you should be sure to have the proper supplies and equipment to help make them feel at home and remain healthy. Essential items include a dog bed or crate, bowls for food and water, collars, leashes, brushing implements, toys, nail clippers, and a first-aid kit. To get them used to regular exercise and playtime, a sturdy frisbee, tennis balls, rope toys, or chewable bones are also good investments.
Havaneses are small dogs with a height and weight of around 8 to 11 inches and seven to thirteen pounds, respectively. As breed standards do not have specific measurements for a 'size', this range is the approximate average size of the breed. Although, the exact size may vary based on the parents, as well as the diet and exercise the dog receives. Breeding for size is often discouraged, so it's up to the breeder or owner to find the best fit for their Havaneses.
Havaneses are an intelligent toy breed that require regular physical exercise and mental stimulation. Though they may not require as much physical activity as larger breeds, exercise is still essential to keep your Havaneses healthy and happy. A well-exercised Havaneses generally needs between 20-30 minutes of exercise twice per day. During each session this should include at least one extended walk and some playtime involving chasing a ball or other activities. If you have a garden or yard for your Havaneses to explore then this can help substitute for some of the necessary walks.
Generally speaking, Havaneses can get along with other pets well when introduced properly. They are often very social and can even seem to be a "pack leader" in many multi-pet households. With proper training, Havaneses can be taught to recognize other animals as part of their family and show them respect. If the introduction is done right, the Havaneses should get along with other animals in the home easily. However, if their personalities have not had a chance to mesh, then a structured approach to introducing the pets is recommended.
Training a Havanese is not always easy and requires a commitment in order to succeed. It is important to maintain consistent rules and give the dog ample time to learn. Setting them up for success by keeping the training sessions short and sweet while still rewarding them with plenty of praise and treats, will help them succeed. Developing a positive relationship with your Havanese is also key in having successful training sessions. Investing in positive reinforcement techniques and taking time to understand your pup's behavioral tendencies can help you to better adapt your training sessions to your dog's needs.
