Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting and unique things about Havaneses is their variety of coat colors. This breed is recognized in almost every color, including cream, white, black and of course the well-known Blanquito de la Habana, which is almost exclusively the product of Cubans. These colors are the result of careful genetic engineering, which makes this breed one of the most difficult to obtain and keep pure. Additionally, Havaneses are known for being especially loyal, affectionate and alert.
Havaneses can be classified as hypoallergenic dogs, due to their short coats and because they produce little to no dander. Since they don’t require frequent grooming, trimming, or blowing of their fur, owners don’t need to worry about any dander getting into the air. Even if someone in the home is allergic to dogs, living with a Havaneses is generally considered to be a safe and viable option.
The best dog food for Havaneses depends on their individual age, size, metabolism, and overall health. It is important to select a dog food with natural ingredients and proper levels of protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals for a Havaneses' nutritional needs. Look for formulas that are grain-free or low-grain, as Havaneses are prone to sensitive stomachs and could benefit from higher-protein diets. Foods containing chicken meal, turkey meal, vegetable protein meal, and fish meal are all good sources of the essential nutrients the Havaneses needs.
Before bringing your new Havanese home, it is important to prepare in a few key areas. First, make sure your home is space is safe and properly equipped with items such as food and water bowls, a crate or gate, and a comfortable bed. You will also want to have plenty of interactive toys, as these dogs are highly intelligent and thrive on mental stimulation. Additionally, you will want to research Havanese breed specific health issues, grooming needs, and socialization. Be sure to set aside time for your new pup as they require daily exercise to stay healthy and happy.
Generally, Havanese puppies grow to be a small dog, typically 8-11 inches and weight 7-13 pounds. Every Havanese is different and may end up larger or smaller than these averages. To get an idea of how your pup might look when he or she is full grown, observing his or her parent's size and body shape can be helpful. However, take those guesses with a grain of salt as you can't always predict with 100% accuracy how each puppy may turn out.
Havaneses are an active breed of dog. Generally, they need at least 30 minutes of exercise every day, such as going for a walk, playing fetch, or interacting with other dogs. Depending on their age, they may need a bit more or less exercise. It is important to remember that Havaneses have a curious, intelligent, and alert temperament that can manifest in behaviors such as barking, chewing, digging, and misbehavior without enough exercise.
Havaneses can make great companions for first-time pet owners. This breed is known for being intelligent, affectionate, and adaptable, meaning they can do well in almost any home. They also tend to have relatively low energy levels, so don't need a lot of exercise and are generally easy to care for. The main caveat is that Havaneses do tend to bark a lot, so if you're prone to noise sensitivity, this may not be the best option for you. However, with proper training, this issue can be minimized.
Training a Havanese can be a challenging but rewarding experience. It certainly isn’t a straightforward process but it can be made easier with commitment and patience. Havanese are eager to please and highly intelligent, but since they are bred to be companion dogs they can be very headstrong and independent. Therefore, consistency and repetition in training are very important. A well-trained Havanese is a calm, well-mannered dog that will obey commands and socialize well with other animals and people.
