Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, lively, and intelligent dog breed that was bred in Cuba by the aristocracy in the 18th century. It is a member of the Bichon family, which also includes the Bichon Frise, the Maltese, and the Coton de Tulear, and is the national dog of Cuba. The Havanese is an affectionate and loyal breed, with a gentle, playful, and entertaining personality.
Yes, Havaneses are considered to be non-shedding. This means that they do not shed much of their coat compared to other dog breeds and need minimal grooming. As some breeds can shed more than others do, Havaneses are a great choice for those looking for a pet that won't produce as much excess hair. Additionally, the very dense and wooly coats of Havaneses do not require much maintenance as the coat is trimmed short and groomed regularly to prevent any matting.
Havanese are a small but lively breed of dog that require a proper diet to keep them healthy and active. It is important to feed your Havanese a diet suitable for their age, activity level and any medical conditions your pet may have. Generally speaking, most Havanese do well on premium, high quality puppy or adult food (either wet or dry). Choose a food that is fortified with vitamins and minerals and meets the AAFCO nutrient profile for puppies and adult dogs. Avoid foods that contain artificial ingredients, artificial colors, flavorings, preservatives or by-products.
To be the best puppy parent for your Havanese, make sure you provide lots of love with a good balance of affection, exercise, and training. Establish a schedule for feeding and potty breaks, and make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Teach your pup simple commands such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' and make sure to reward good behavior with delicious treats. Socializing your pup will also be important as it helps with behavior and communication. Be consistent with your rules and training so your pup knows what is expected and undesired behavior.
Havaneses come in a variety of sizes, depending on how they are raised and what their ultimate purpose will be. Some breeders specialize in Havaneses that have larger bodies or are bred for working livestock, while others focus on Havaneses bred to be a companion animal which is usually smaller in stature. The average size of an adult Havaneses is about 8-15 lbs. and their height ranges from eight to 14 inches. It is important to note that each Havaneses is unique in their size, shape, and weight, as no two are born exactly alike.
It is generally not recommended to take a Havanese running. Havanese dogs are small in stature and often have shorter legs, so they are not well equipped for long-distance running. However, it is possible to take them running if you are careful and take appropriate precautions. For example, keep your Havanese on a leash at all times, and make sure that the path you’re running is free of sharp objects, such as rocks or thorns, which could injure the dog’s delicate paw pads.
Yes, Havaneses typically get along well with kids. They are a friendly and intelligent breed of small dog that is known for their loyalty and affection towards their family members, including children. They are adaptable and typically enjoy playing games, especially fetch. These naturally energetic and social dogs actually thrive when they have someone to be around, and are often very patient with and protective of children. If they are socialized and trained early in life, they can easily learn and obey basic commands. Despite their small size, Havaneses make excellent watchdogs, alerting their families whenever a stranger approaches.
Training a Havanese is a commitment that requires patience and consistency. With the right guidance and positive reinforcement, training a Havanese can be a rewarding experience. It is important to remember that the Havanese is an intelligent and sensitive breed, and that a calm and loving approach is always best. Establishing boundaries, including modes of communication and appropriate behaviors, early on are essential and will help to create safe and trusting environment. Establishing a regular routine will also help your Havanese understand basic commands and become better familiar with commands and expectations.
