No, Havaneses do not typically cause people to have allergies. In fact, they are considered to be a hypoallergenic breed overall, though as with any breed, some individuals may produce a mild allergic reaction due to their dander.

Feeding your Havanese is very important.

To do this, it's important to designate a space in your home just for the pup, like a crate or washable bed. If you plan to keep the pup inside most of the time, provide enrichment in their space with chew toys, stuffed animals, and interactive toys. Setting up a designated area for potty training is also essential; make sure it is easily distinguishable and in an area with minimal distractions.
