Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a type of small and intelligent companion dog that is relatively friendly and easy to train. They come in a variety of colors and have a thick, silky coat that requires regular maintenance. Adult Havaneses weigh between 7 and 13 pounds and stand between 9 and 11 inches tall. They tend to form strong bonds with their owners and crave attention. Due to their high energy levels, they are happiest when they are being active and playing. They respond well to positive reinforcement, are eager to please and will usually pick up on commands quickly.
Yes, Havaneses are often considered hypoallergenic dogs. This means that Havaneses have a low potential to produce allergens and thereby may be suitable dogs for individuals sensitive to other breeds. Plus, as most of their fur consists of facial hair/whiskers, the lack of hair on their bodies reduces the sheddng which further minimizes the number of allergens they create. Additionally, because of the coated fur, it helps trap dirt, dust, and other impurities making it easier to clean and manage.
Feeding your Havanese pup can be a daunting task, as it is important to make sure they have a balanced and healthy diet that can provide them with all the nutrients they need not just for the short-term, but throughout their lifetime. Commonly recommended food for this breed is a high-quality dog food with good sources of energy and protein that meet AAFCO standards. For puppies, a food designed to meet their various growth needs is recommended for the first year.
Preparing for a new Havanese can be both exciting and challenging. Before bringing your new animal home, you should create an environment that will be both comfortable and safe for them. First, make sure you have all the necessary supplies for your pet, such as a crate or bed, food and water dishes, toys, and grooming supplies. Next, puppy-proof your home to ensure your pet is safe and can't chew or swallow anything dangerous.
Havanese puppies are thought to be a potentially small breed, with standard adult sizes usually reaching seven to 13 pounds. Generally, a puppy born to a Havanese parent can range from three to nine pounds at birth, so it is difficult to precisely gauge the size of your pup. In any case, it is important to keep in mind that, regardless of their size, the most important factor affecting a pup's growth and development is proper nutrition.
While Havanese certainly have an abundance of energy and can walk or trot long distances, it is best to not take them running. Although you may think they can keep up with a running pace, their small joints and bones may not be able to handle the constant pounding of a hard running surface. Additionally, they are better suited for short distance running or jogging interspersed with plenty of walking and breaks. If you want to take them running, establish a routine over a few weeks to build up their joint and muscle strength first.
Absolutely! Havaneses are devoted, playful, and intelligent dogs, making them a great choice for family pet. They have a cheery, outgoing personality, get along well with children and other pets, and bond quickly with their family members. Havaneses also have a low-shedding coat that won't spread dander and they thrive in a variety of living environments. As long as they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise, Havaneses make wonderful family companions. In addition, they require minimal grooming and are relatively easy to train.
Training a Havanese requires an abundance of patience and consistency, but it can be done! With their intelligence and eagerness to please, Havanese are a relatively easy breed to train and these traits make them especially well suited for teaching both basic and advanced obedience commands. While every Havanese has its own personality, they are generally quite sociable and love to show off their learned tricks to people. As such, it's essential to use positive reinforcement and reward-based training.
