Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, toy-sized dog originating in Cuba and belonging to the Bichon family. They have a long, silky white coat and are known for their fun-loving and affectionate nature. An intelligent breed, Havanese are also popular for their laid back temperaments and loyalty. The breed is highly adaptable and loves snuggles with their favorite humans. Additionally, Havanese are great with children and other pets, making them the perfect choice for families looking for an animated and happy-go-lucky dog.
The Havanese coat is a medium length, soft and silky single layer coat. It is never wiry or wooly and can come in a number of colors, such as cream, black, white, silver, gold, chocolate, blue, red or sable. The hair can hang straight or slightly wavy. Grooming of the coat requires daily brushing and combing to keep it healthy and prevent matting. Regular trimming and shaping is also recommended, depending on the desired look. The Havanese have very light shedding.
Some Havaneses may have special dietary needs because they are small dogs and can more easily benefit from a high-quality, carefully balanced diet than larger breeds. They typically require a diet that’s higher in protein and lower in fats and carbohydrates. Protein sources such as chicken, fish, or even turkey are ideal for Havaneses. Some owners opt for a combination of regular kibble and can food, while others choose a specialty diet with high-grade purees, heavily supplemented with a variety of fruits and natural proteins.
To best prepare for a new Havanese, it is important to ensure you have all the necessary items to provide the best life for your new pup. These items include a pet-friendly bed with pillows or blankets, food and water dishes, a collar with an appropriate lead, a brush and comb for your pup's coat, toys for their mental stimulation and leisure, a pet carrier, pet shampoo and conditioner, and lastly, plenty of treats.
Yes, Havaneses are considered small dogs. They typically measure around 8 to 11 inches in height and weigh between 7 to 12 pounds. They have a long lifespan, living between 14 to 16 years. Their thick and curly coat is soft to the touch and requires regular brushing to prevent tangles and keep them looking their best. Some would even argue Havaneses are more than just small dogs – their outgoing, loving, and playful personalities make them great companions for children and senior citizens alike.
Havaneses typically require about 30 to 40 minutes of physical activity each day, depending on their age. Exercise for a Havaneses should consist of walking, running, and playing. All Havaneses should have regular veterinary check-ups as part of their health plan. Havaneses usually need to be taken out for a walk, a jog, or a play session multiple times per day to ensure they're getting enough exercise. For younger Havaneses, shorter and more frequent sessions work best, while more active and older Havaneses often require longer, more strenuous exercise.
Generally speaking, Havaneses are known to be a very friendly and good natured breed of dog. As a result, they often form strong bonds with children and are known to be a great companion for kids. If properly socialized and trained, the Havaneses will get along beautifully with kids and treat them with the same kind, patient manner as with any other family members. Even when excited, Havanese are fairly gentle in their mannerisms, making them a great family pet.
Training your Havanese is not an impossible task. First of all, it’s important to remember that all dogs require consistency in order to succeed. This includes establishing routines and sticking to them. When training your Havanese, start off by introducing basic commands such as “sit”, “stay”, “come”, and “leave it.” You can teach these commands slowly by using treats as positive reinforcement.
