Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a breed of small dogs that originated in Cuba. It is a member of the Bichon family, and is one of the smallest breeds in the world. It's often described as a toy breed because of its small size but it has an energetic and lively personality. This breed can be quite smart and can be taught various tricks, making them enjoyable companions. They are especially friendly and affectionate and are known for being devoted to their owners. They have a hypoallergenic coat, which means they are easy to groom and perfect for those who suffer from allergies.
Havaneses, like all dogs, can cause allergies in some people. However, they have been known to produce fewer allergens than many other breeds. The most common allergens from a Havaneses are dander, urine and saliva, so keeping your pup's coat clean and trimmed and bathing them often can reduce your exposure to these allergens. Additionally, if you suffer from allergies, it's best to spend time with a Havaneses before committing to adoption to determine if your symptoms worsen.
The best dog food for Havaneses should be nutritionally balanced and rich in proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and amino acids. It should also be tailored to meet the specific needs of this breed of dog, such as smaller kibble size for easier chewing. The food should also be free from low-quality fillers and artificial ingredients. Some great choices for Havaneses include, Hill's Science Diet Small & Toy Breed Adult dry dog food, Royal Canin Toy Breed dry dog food, and Natural Balance L.I.D.
Preparing your home for a new Havanese is an exciting part of welcoming a new pup into your family! First, be sure to puppy-proof your home by tucking away any cords, small decor items or hazardous materials, such as chemicals, that your pup might try to explore or become injured from. Next, create a safe outdoor area for your pup by choosing an area not exposed to busy traffic and making sure the fencing is secure enough to keep your pup inside. Additionally, it's important to set up an area with always-accessible food and water dishes.
Despite their compact stature, Havaneses are actually considered to be big dogs because they have a robust breed type that is similar to other larger breeds. Additionally, they have what is known as 'big dog syndrome' which is characterized by their tendency to act more like a bigger breed than their size reflects. Due to their larger than life attitude, they can be very brave and protective of their family. Their energy and strength should not be underestimated even though their size may appear small.
Havaneses are known for their irresistible cuteness and endearing personalities, but they are also a surprisingly active dog breed! This small, well-muscled dog typically has a sort of boundless, puppy-like energy, making it clear that they are adapted to fit a lifestyle that involves plenty of physical and mental stimulation. In addition to long walks, Havaneses will benefit from daily playtime activities that keep them moving and engaged. They are highly trainable and thrive when given new tasks, adding to their overall activity level.
Absolutely! Havaneses are great family dogs and get along perfectly with children. From the moment they enter a home, Havaneses have the capacity to bond with family members and form close relationships. They are naturally patient and affectionate dogs and are known for the gentle, playful manner in which they interact with kids. They make excellent playmates for kids, as well as loyal and protective companions when needed. Many families have formed such strong bonds with their Havaneses that the dog is considered part of the family—playful, protective, and always there to lend a friendly, furry shoulder.
Training a Havanese can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. While it can take some patients and dedication, it is not difficult to teach a Havanese with the right approach. Positive reinforcement is the best method of training and an important element of successful training is consistency. When showing commands to your pup, such as “sit” or “stay,” repeat the commands or gestures until your pup follows the direction. Additionally, be sure to be patient and reward your Havanese pup for a job well done with treats or praise.
