Questions & Answers
Havaneses are small, intelligent dogs that make excellent family pets. Often referred to as a “Velcro” dog, the Havaneses is very loyal and affectionate. They’re known to bond closely with their human owners, and are often quite outgoing. A fun fact about Havaneses is that they were originally bred to catch rats on plantations in Cuba. They’re sometimes referred to as “Havana silks” due to their soft, wavy coat.
Most Havaneses are considered to be hypoallergenic, as the breed is known for having hair instead of fur. This results in significantly curved allergens that don't distribute throughout the air as easily. As a result, Havaneses may be a good breed choice for people with allergies or asthma. However, like any other breed, it is still possible that some may carry allergens that could cause a reaction in some people. If considering a Havaneses, it's important to check with a veterinarian to make sure they are a suitable fit.
Havaneses eat a variety of foods, depending on the individual pet's preferences. Generally speaking, a balanced diet for Havaneses should include high-quality, named-brand dry or wet food specifically designed for dogs of their breed as well as occasional treats. As with other dogs, Havaneses should not consume foods like chocolate, raisins, and grapes due to their potential for making them sick.
Before getting a Havanese, there are some essential items you should buy. An appropriately-sized pet crate for potty training is a must-have, as is a comfortable bed that is machine-washable and orthopedic-friendly. In addition, you'll need a sturdy lead and collar for times your pup is off-leash. Grooming supplies like a slicker brush and deshedding tools are also useful. Don't forget to buy food and water bowls that are designed for toy breeds, as well as a variety of toys for them to play.
Havaneses usually mature to a height of 9-11 inches and a weight range of 7-13 pounds. In adulthood, these dogs are known for their muscular and sturdy build. They also grow to stand quite tall on their legs. Havaneses have a moderately long and silky coat that is normally done in shades of white, black and tan, but some are seen in chocolate and other colors. Grooming a Havaneses dog is an easy exercise, as they only require brushing at least once a week.
Havaneses generally enjoy swimming, as it can be a great way to stay entertained and active. Many Havaneses have a love for water and swimming is an excellent way to socialize and indulge in some friendly competition. Since Havaneses are small and intelligent dogs, swimming can be a great way for them to practice their agility and build muscle. Additionally, swimming can be beneficial for any medical issues that a Havaneses may be dealing with, as the buoyancy of the water can reduce any discomfort or pressure.
Havaneses are typically known for their intelligence, friendliness, and excellent temperaments, so many families find these dogs make great companions for children. They are usually very patient and tolerant with kids, provided they are trained well and socialized from a young age. Havaneses also tend to have a lot of energy, so they can keep up with the active lifestyle of active kids and enjoy participating in their fun activities. While not breeds known for being particularly protective, Havaneses can be excellent watchdogs, often barking at strangers or people they don't recognize.
The amount of time you need to dedicate to training your Havaneses each day will depend greatly upon the individual pup and the goals you have in mind, as well as the skill level your pup is at. Generally, most Havaneses do well when trained for just 10-15 minutes a day but this will vary. In order to ensure your pup is gaining the most out of training, break sessions into shorter periods of 5-10 minutes with time for play and fun. You may also wish to use these short sessions to introduce new tricks and behaviors that the pup could learn.
