Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a breed of small dog that originated in Havana, Cuba. It is a relative of the Bichon family of dogs and is known as a "Havana Silk Dog" or a "Havanese Cuban lap dog". It is a playful, affectionate, and intelligent breed with a pleasing, even temperament. Its compact size makes it ideal for a house pet or a lapdog. The breed is easily trainable and loves to please its owners.
The Havanese coat is a soft, silky single coat of medium length. It is one of the dermarextrous breeds, meaning that it has a dual coat. The dual layer consists of a soft undercoat and a longer, more textured topcoat. The hair is wavy and somewhat shaggy, with a natural, relaxed texture. In addition to its texture, the Havanese coat also comes in a variety of stunning colors, including cream, brown, white, black, and a variety of mixed colors.
Havaneses typically enjoy a diet of human food, particularly cooked meat or fish. This can be supplemented with specialty dog food, as well as healthy foods like fresh fruit and vegetables that should make up 10%-20% of a Havaneses' diet. However, store bought treats and table scraps should be limited, as some foods like onions, garlic, dairy, and chocolate can cause digestive upset in Havaneses. Additionally, as with all dogs exercise is important to maintaining a healthy diet so that they will experience proper growth and development.
Preparing for a new Havanese pup is an exciting time! Start by creating a safe space for them to call home such as a cozy dog bed in a quiet area and make sure anything hazardous in the home (i.e. cords, easily swallowed objects) are removed. Gather necessary supplies such as pet food (specifically for small breeds), puppy pads, collar, leash, food and water dishes, and toys. Oftentimes Havanese puppies will need to be paper-trained so investing in puppy training pads is a great high-priority purchase.

You should also ensure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations before hitting the trails. Additionally, you may need to carry some water and consider a cooling vest if exercising in warm climates.
