Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a breed of small, cheerful dogs that have long been bred as lap dogs and are popular for their good natured personalities. They were originally bred in Cuba by the Spanish and introduced to North America in 1956. Havaneses are known for being highly intelligent and very easily trainable. Their iconic long silky coats come in different colors and are relatively easy to groom. Another fun fact is that Havaneses traditionally have an incredibly loud bark, earning them the nickname “the big dog in a small package”.
Managing allergies with your Havaneses begins with determining what it is that you are allergic to. Depending on the type of allergies you have, the best way to manage them may be by brushing and bathing your Havaneses regularly because this will help remove any allergins it may have acquired while outdoors, and also by using a air purifier inside your home. Additionally, it’s important to make sure that your Havaneses gets yearly check ups with a veterinarian to ensure that it has all the necessary vaccinations, and to screen for any illnesses to prevent possible flareups.
Havaneses are small dogs, so their diet needs to be formulated in a way that is tailored to their size and energy level. Generally, Havaneses enjoy a diet that includes small pieces of fresh vegetables, cooked lean meat, high-quality dry dog food, and small quantities of cheese. However, while most Havaneses love their food, it's important to keep the portions small, as they can easily become overweight. If giving treats, it's important to limit the amount of human food treats to three or less per day.
Becoming the best puppy parent for your Havanese involves both loving and caring for your pup as well as spending the time and energy to ensure they have the proper nutrition, training, and exercise. To start, ensure your pup has the right nutrition for their size and breed. Speak with your vet or a pet nutritionist to get an ideal diet plan for your Havanese pup. Training is key to a successful relationship with your dog; be sure to attend a puppy class or hire a certified dog trainer to teach your dog basic obedience.
Havaneses do not come in fixed sizes. Rather, they are usually acknowledged as a 'toy' breed, so their size is more of a range. Depending on the size of their parentage, individual Havaneses will typically measure between eight and twelve inches in height and weigh anywhere from seven to fourteen pounds. Most breeders agree that a mature, healthy Havaneses should have a square-shaped body with a well elevated back, and should be characterized as a generally sturdy, muscular breed.
When deciding how many minutes per day to walk your Havanese, it is important to consider your pet's energy level and age. Generally, adult Havanese likely need at least 30 minutes of activity per day. Younger puppies under a year may need only 20-30 minutes a day. If your Havanese is particularly active, you may want to give him or her an extra 10 minutes or so for some challenge-filled walks. Your veterinarian should be able to offer additional advice tailored to your pup's needs.

Training a Havanese is not necessarily easy, but certainly possible. Havanese are intelligent dogs with a tendency to be eager to please, which gives them an advantage when it comes to training. Socializing your pup and teaching basic commands such as sit, stay and come can help to establish boundaries that they'll follow. Patience and consistency are key when training a Havanese; provide positive reinforcement whenever they do something correctly, and make sure to provide their regular exercise and mental stimulation to ensure they are not displaying pent-up energy.
