Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, companion breed of dog that originated in Cuba. The breed is known for its long, silky coat which is often compared to that of a human head of hair. Its ears often lay naturally down close to the head. The breed is known for being intelligent, playful, and loyal. Havanese are often referred to as Velcro dogs, because they love attention and will follow their owners wherever they go. Their friendly personalities make them an ideal choice for families willing to provide plenty of interaction.
Though some people may experience mild allergic reactions around Havaneses, it is important to note that no breed of dog will cause allergies in a person. Allergies to animals are caused by a specific protein in their saliva, urine and dander. All dogs, regardless of breed, produce this protein. It is important to note that any pet, including Havaneses, can also aggravate existing allergies that an individual is already sensitive to. As always, consulting with a physician is the best route to assess one's sensitivities and allergies and to get more information pertaining to their individual situation.
The best dog food for Havaneses depends on several factors, such as dietary, age, activity level, and breed. Generally, Havaneses thrive on a premium kibble that contains high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. However, a customized diet may be better for older dogs and for dogs that have specific health issues. Wet food is also great for Havaneses as a high-moisture option, and it can help keep their skin and coat looking their best.
Havanese generally have the same needs as any other breed of dog; however, there are a few things to be aware of when considering a Havanese as a pet. The most important requirement for this breed is that they need lots of company and socialization. It is recommended to give them plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. Grooming also needs to be taken into consideration, as Havanese have a long and wavy coat that must be combed daily and trimmed roughly every three months.
Havaneses will typically reach between 7 to 13 inches in height and 9 to 20 pounds in weight. This makes them medium in size compared to other breeds, with their typical physical characteristics being a round head, dark expressive eyes, white/cream fur covered in various shades of black/brown/brindle, large, erect ears, and a tail that curls over the back. Not only are they great companions, but they are also fairly low maintenance as far as size and activity level are concerned, making them ideal for small living spaces and varied lifestyle.
Absolutely! Your Havanese is an active breed that loves to run and play. You'll need to exercise caution if you take them running with you, as they may not have the same endurance as larger breeds and could easily become exhausted. Make sure you begin with short distances and work your way up slowly, and always bring plenty of water along. Also, make sure the pavement or trail isn't too hot. If it is, your pup's delicate paw pads may be hurt.
Havaneses can certainly be a great choice for first-time owners. These lively and friendly companions have been known to develop strong relationships with their owners quickly. They're intelligent, making them easy to train. With an eagerness to please, they will bond with you quickly. They also tend to get along well with children and other animals, making them a great fit for any family. Additionally, Havaneses typically have very manageable grooming needs and do not need large amounts of exercise.
Training your Havanese can be an enjoyable experience for both you and your pup. To ensure the most successful training program, you'll want to ensure that each training session is short but positive, and take breaks so as not to overwhelm your dog. Start off by teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, and come, and gradually add more commands as your pup learns. Additionally, spend time each day getting your pup used to being handled through desensitization exercises, as this can make introducing more complex commands easier.
