Yes, Havaneses are a non-shedding breed of dog. Their coats are what some might consider hypoallergenic, meaning that people with mild allergies to pet dander are less likely to have a reaction to a Havaneses. They are also well known for having a low amount of shedding, making them easy to groom and maintain. Plus, they have notably silky and soft hair, which does not need to be trimmed often.
It's important to exercise caution when feeding your Havaneses as they may not necessarily tolerate some human foods as well as other canines. It is not recommended that you feed your Havaneses fats, onions, garlic, dairy products, raw eggs, grapes, raisins or chocolate as these can be highly toxic and even fatal to their health. Additionally, processed foods are typically high in salt, sugar and other artificial ingredients and should not be given to Havaneses.
It is important to be well prepared when bringing home a new Havanese. First, you will want to arrange for a suitable living environment with comfortable bedding, chewable toys, and age-appropriate grooming supplies. Additionally, you should create a regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime. Additionally, you should look into joining a local Havanese community so that you can meet other owners and learn more about the breed. It's also a good idea to brush up on basic obedience training and start teaching your new pet the rules of the house from the onset.
Generally speaking, Havaneses are considered small dogs. Their size is typically somewhere around the 8-15 lb range and they stand an average of 8-10 inches tall. They are considered to be a toy breed, due to their size. These dogs have curly, silky hair that can vary in thickness and texture, as well as come in a variety of colors, from white to sable to white and tan. Despite being small in size, Havaneses are known for being quite energetic and loads of fun.
Havaneses are an active breed of dog and need a good amount of exercise and mental stimulation on a regular basis in order to stay healthy and prevent behavioral problems from developing. Their ideal exercise regimen should include daily walks, playtime, activities that encourage use of their natural intelligence, and interactive games. For an adult, 45-60 minutes of daily exercise is recommended and puppies typically need at least 90 minutes of exercise per day to grow and develop properly. Exercise time should be split into several shorter and more frequent sessions throughout the day to ensure their physical and mental wellbeing.
Havaneses are known for their affectionate, playful, and gentle nature, so they typically get along very well with kids. In general, they have a very friendly disposition that allows them to take to children quickly, especially if proper introductions and socialization takes place. They love to be petted, hugged and cuddled, so they often form a strong bond with children. That said, all children should always be supervised when interacting with the dog, and parents should ensure that both the child and the Havaneses are treated with kindness and respect.
Training a Havanese may depend on individual experience and patience. Many owners find these dogs relatively easy to train due to their eagerness to please their guardians. However, they can also be stubborn when not taught with consistency and kindness. It is important to start early socializing the pup and instill the basics such as walking without pulling and simple commands like 'sit', 'stay' and 'come'. There may be bumps in the road, but if taught with dedication, patience, and consistency, most Havanese can learn and become well behaved.
