Questions & Answers
Havanese are a breed of small, intelligent dogs that are descendants of the native Bichon Tenerife of Cuba. They are known for their friendly, exuberant personalities, and their thick, wavy coats. Havanese are easy to train as they are generally eager to please. They are also sociable and are good with both people and other pets. Havanese excel in various performance events including agility, obedience, and even tricks. They make great family pets and are suitable for urban and rural living.
Generally speaking, Havaneses are considered to be a low-shedding breed of dog. They produce only a modest amount of hair, and are well suited to people who have allergies or who would enjoy a pet that requires minimal grooming or upkeep. That being said, the amount of shedding can vary somewhat from dog to dog, and even within a single Havaneses breed; some may shed more than others, depending on their individual habits and tendencies. Regular brushing and soft grooming can help reduce shedding, and regular veterinary visits can aid in ensuring your pet is in top health.
No matter the breed, it is important to feed your Havaneses food that is specifically formulated for small breed dogs. This is to ensure your pet is getting all of the proper nutrients they need, as Havaneses are prone to obesity. Avoid ingredients that are high in fat or salt, as these can cause harm to these small pets. Grocery store or human-grade foods may sound appealing, but they are usually not nutrient-dense enough to meet your furbaby's needs.
Yes, Havanese do have certain requirements. They need regular exercise and play sessions to stay healthy, active and content. They also need routine grooming, which includes brushing with a soft-bristled brush, tooth brushing and bathing. They tend to be relatively easy to train, however, basic obedience and house training is still necessary. This breed is prone to suffering from separation anxiety, so it's important to have lots of interaction and provide a consistent and structured home environment.
The size of your Havanese puppy will depend on their genetics and care. On average, adult Havanese typically weigh between 7 to 13 pounds with heights ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 inches. It may take some time to determine their exact size as puppies grow at their own rate and can vary significantly as they reach adulthood. In general, full grown Havanese dogs do not exceed a certain weight, but the amount of nutrition, exercise, rest and other care they receive can influence their ultimate size.
It is recommended that an adult Havanese should receive at least 30 minutes of walks each day. If you are looking to maximize the amount of exercise your Havanese receives to ensure their physical and mental health, aim for 45-60 minutes of walking per day. If you are perambulating two separate times throughout the day, then shorter walks of 15-30 minutes are appropriate. It is important to remember that walks are not only important for your Havanese's physical health, but also their mental health.
As with any breed, Havaneses have the potential to get along with other pets if properly trained and socialized. Generally speaking, Havaneses are loving and friendly dogs that are not overly aggressive towards other animals. Havaneses naturally love the company of their humans, so they tend to bond with them and even other pets in the household. With that being said, a Havaneses will usually take some time and patience in order to become properly acquainted with other pets in the home.

They have been known to follow their owners' directions with ease and are highly trainable. In addition, their uncanny ability to learn new tricks quickly and mastery of problem solving make them a suitable choice for those looking for an intelligent and loyal companion.
