Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a breed of cute, small, and fluffy dog originating from Cuba. They are affectionate, loyal, and intelligent, making them an ideal companion for anything from family life to therapy. Havanese were developed to need very little exercise, making them the perfect dog for city or limited-space living. They have an average life expectancy of 14-16 years and, due to their small size, they do well in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Havaneses are hypoallergenic, meaning that they are unlikely to cause people to have allergies. However, it's impossible to completely rule out the possibility because everyone is different. Allergies can be caused by many things, including touching, inhaling, or ingesting certain particles, and even seemingly hypoallergenic dogs may contain some of these particles. If you're concerned about allergies, it's best to do a test before making a decision to bring a Havaneses into your home.
It is important to consider what type of diet your Havanese will thrive best on. A balanced diet, appropriate for the breed, is crucial for maintaining your dog’s health and weight. It is recommended to feed your Havanese a high-quality commercial dog food which meets their breed requirements. For adult Havanese, choose a dry dog food with an appropriate balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. Be sure to select a brand created specifically for small dogs to ensure the correct kibble size for them.
Havanese are an energetic and active breed of small dog. With that being said, they require proper exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization to help ensure they lead a happy and well-rounded life. It's important to provide them with plenty of daily activities, such as walks, playtime, and obedience training, to help them stay healthy and content as they age. Additionally, they require regular grooming to help keep their coat looking healthy and to help prevent tangles and matting.
Havaneses come in various sizes, from the very small Toy size weighing under ten pounds, to the Standard size weighing from eighteen to twenty-five pounds. Depending on lineage and genetics, puppies can end up on either the larger or smaller end of the size spectrum, but most breeders agree the ideal size for a Havaneses is somewhere in the middle. Taking great care to keep within certain size boundaries is very important in order to properly care for and maintain a healthy, long-lived Havaneses.
Absolutely! Havaneses are natural swimmers, due to their origin as a breed used for "life-saving" in Cuban waters. What's more, the toned body and strong hind legs of the Havaneses make them the perfect swimmers.

Yes, Havaneses have historically been great family dogs and often get along with kids. They have a tendency to be patient and gentle, which can help foster a good relationship with children. Additionally, Havaneses tend to be extremely social, and they enjoy spending time with their human family members, both young and old. As such, they are well-suited to life in households that have children, as long as their owners take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of both the Havaneses and the children.
Training your Havanese takes patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. It's important to begin training your pup early so he can get used to your rules and develop good habits. Start with basic commands such as ‘sit', ‘come', and ‘stay’, and always give rewards when your pup responds correctly. Be sure to focus on one command at a time, use short training sessions, and practice frequently so he remembers. It can be helpful to break complex commands down into components or stages and focus on one step at a time.
