Questions & Answers
Havaneses are an incredibly unique breed of small dog, with a one-of-a-kind look, and disposition. They are adaptable to virtually any home, and are friendly and intelligent enough to bond with your family. One of the most interesting aspects of these pooches is their innate versatility that gives them the ability to do many jobs, from being a companion dog to one that is used for protection. They make great watchdogs, and have an intuitive understanding of their environment.
Managing allergies is possible with Havaneses, although it requires a bit of extra effort. The first step is to speak with your vet to confirm any allergies or sensitivities your pet might have. Once you've done this, keeping your home allergen-free is essential. Your vet will likely recommend you use allergen-specific vacuum cleaners and air cleaners, as well as avoiding carpeting. Keeping pet dander from collecting in your furnishings is important, so regular brushing and bathing of your Havaneses is a must.
Your Havanese will thrive on high-quality dog food that is high in protein, low in fat, and contains essential vitamins and minerals. Depending on its size and activity level, a Havanese's diet should be divided into two or three meals a day. The best foods for a Havanese are those specifically designed for small breed dogs, as these will provide the nutrients and calories they need in the amounts their small digestive system can handle. Avoid foods with fillers or artificial ingredients and look for the word “meat” as the first and/or second ingredient.
Becoming the best puppy parent you can be for your Havanese starts with doing your research. Learn about the breed and their specific needs—what their energy levels are like, what type of exercise and mental stimulation they need, how they interact with other people and animals, and how to groom and care for them. Once you have this knowledge, you need to create a routine for your puppy and stick to it. Give them plenty of attention and love, as well as opportunities to socialize and explore. Make sure you provide a safe, comfortable home and use positive reinforcement when training them.
The size of an adult Havanese can range from 8 to 11 inches at the shoulder, so your puppy will likely reach a height of between 8 and 11 inches when fully grown. It's important to note, however, that puppies don't reach their full size until they're around 9 months old, so it's hard to accurately predict how big your Havanese pup will be in the end. With proper nutrition and lots of exercise to aid their growth and development, though, you will eventually know exactly how big your pup is.
Havaneses love the water and many are enthusiastic swimmers! They enjoy chilling at the beach or in the pool, with their owners or just taking a dip alone. Although some Havaneses may take a while to warm up to the water, all in all, they do love to swim. With a short double coat, they are well equipped to take on any temperature of water, as long as their owners take measures to ensure they are staying warm enough. With proper training, most Havaneses learn to appreciate the taste of salt water and eagerly jump into the waves.
Havaneses are known for their friendly and sociable nature, and often do get along great with other pets like cats, snakes, rodents, and other dogs. As with all breeds of dogs, Havaneses require proper socialization with other animals from a young age in order to develop strong and lasting relationships. When introducing a Havaneses to other pets, it is important to start the process slowly and cautiously to ensure the safety of both animals.
Havaneses are thought to be very intelligent canines. They have the ability to understand and respond to commands quickly, as well as learn tricks quickly. They are considered by many to be among the smartest of all dogs. They are playful, love to learn, and do well with positive reinforcement. A Havaneses will be so eager to please their owners, making them very good companions. Moreover, they retain things they have been taught for a long time afterwards. All in all, Havaneses are known to be very smart dogs and are a great addition to any family.
