Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, cheerful and sociable dog breed originally from Cuba. Developed as a companion dog for royalty during the 18th century, the Havanese is considered to be an ideal pet for people who value a loving and loyal four-legged friend. The breed has a long, luxurious coat that is remarkably soft and comes in a variety of colors including white, silver, black, cream and a chocolate brown. Havanese dogs are known to be gentle, peaceful and non-aggressive, and they usually get along well with children and other family pets.
While no breed of dog is 100% guaranteed to be hypoallergenic, Havaneses are generally known to be low shedders and thus are less likely to trigger allergies in humans. Generally speaking, because of the texture of their coat and the way they shed, Havaneses are considered to be one of the better breeds for allergy sufferers. If you do suffer from allergies, it is important to keep an eye on your symptoms when around these dogs, to determine if they cause a reaction.
As with any breed of dog, it is best to avoid feeding Havaneses human food. Many human foods such as chocolate, grapes, nuts, onions, and garlic can be toxic to them. It is also important to remember that Havaneses are small dogs and not to overfeed them. It is advisable to feed the Havaneses high quality, nutritionally balanced dog foods that are specifically designed for small breed dogs. Additionally, it is always important to make sure sufficient fresh water is available.
Before welcoming your Havanese into your home, it's important to first prepare it for optimal safety and comfort. First, declutter any area the dog will be in or have access to remove any small items or cleaning supplies that may be hazardous to the pup, or could be chewed or eaten, and keep your dog out of any hazardous areas. Second, pet-proof the area with proper fencing so your Havanese can't escape a yard is best, with an above-ground fence or an underground one.
While the exact size of your Havanese puppy cannot be known until it is full grown, it is generally estimated that the breed will reach a height of 8.5 to 11.8 inches and a weight of 7 to 13 pounds as an adult. Some larger dogs may reach up to 14 or 15 pounds as an adult. Most puppies will double their birth weight by the age of four weeks and will develop rapidly over the next several months, reaching adult size by eight months of age.
Havaneses are highly energetic and playful dogs that need plenty of outdoor activities to keep their minds and bodies active. They become bored quickly and may engage in destructive behaviors if not provided enough exercise and enrichment. Daily walks, going for a jog, playing fetch, and agility activities are all fun ways to give a Havaneses the physical and mental activity they need to remain healthy, happy, and content. Ensuring adequate exercise is key to having a content and peaceful house companion.
Yes, Havaneses make excellent family dogs. They are intelligent, friendly, and affectionate, with an outgoing and entertaining personality. They enjoy interacting with people, are loyal and devoted to their families, and love to be part of the household activities. They are also good watchdogs, as they are alert and will bark when someone unfamiliar approaches. Although small in size, they are quite energetic and active, making them good companions when going on outdoor activities. Additionally, they can form lifelong bonds with their human family, so they will enjoy lasting companionship.
Havaneses are often considered to be rather intelligent and entertaining dogs.
