Questions & Answers
Havaneses are classified as a member of the Bichon family, a group of small companion dogs that include bichon frise, maltese, and coton de tulear. Originating in the Caribbean island country, Cuba, the Havaneses is a small, intelligent dog with a spirited, friendly, and gentle personality. Due to its intelligence, it is an ideal pet and is considered to be trainable and eager to learn.
Yes, Havaneses are considered hypoallergenic. Without the coat and skin dander that triggers allergens in people who are sensitive, anyone with an allergy should be able to tolerate the Havaneses. The breed is also free of doggy odor, which also aids in keeping allergies in check. What makes this breed specifically hypoallergenic is their silky, single-layer coat that sheds very little. This means that far less amounts of danders are covered with a Havaneses' fur when shedding, which makes it perfect for those with allergies.
Yes, Havaneses have special dietary needs that may differ from other breeds. Feeding Havaneses requires special attention and knowledge due to their active lifestyle, potential for obesity, and their predisposition to developing respiratory and digestive issues. A well-balanced diet that is rich in proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates is essential for promoting their overall health. To provide a proper diet for a Havaneses, you should research daily amounts of healthy food and determine which supplements can provide beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Preparing for a new Havanese can be an exciting challenge. Start by getting all the necessary pet supplies such as a water and food dish, a comfy bed, leash, collar, toys, and grooming tools. Read up on Havanese healthcare, nutrition, and grooming needs. Find a reputable vet and ensure that your pet gets regular checkups. Be sure to create a safe, comfortable, and pup-proofed living environment before your pet arrives home.
The size of a Havanese can vary depending on its sex, age, and genetics. Generally speaking, male Havanese can reach heights of 9 11 inches tall and weigh between 7 13 pounds. Females may be a bit smaller, ranging from 8 10 inches and 6 12 pounds. Some may even be smaller or larger depending on their individual genetics. As Havanese tend to be smaller breed dogs, they may fit into city and apartment living better than some of the larger breeds.
The amount of time and exercise a Havanese should receive every day varies depending on their age and lifestyle. Generally, Havanese dogs thrive when they receive at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, which could include walking, playing fetch, running around or engaging in other activities. For puppies, keep walks or exercise sessions in short bursts – 5-10 minutes at a time – as they need more frequent breaks. When your Havanese reaches adulthood at 12 months, there should be several walks of at least 20 minutes in length per day.
Yes, Havaneses can generally get along well with other pets. They are lively and friendly dogs that love to interact with other animals, although care should be taken when introducing them to a new home, as they need to be properly socialized in order to learn how to interact and have good relationships with other pets. With proper training and supervision, Havaneses can usually get along well with other dogs, cats, and other small animals, such as birds and rodents. They may also enjoy playing with and being around larger animals, including horses and cows.
Training a Havanese is not necessarily 'easy' but can be a joyous and rewarding experience when done properly. Each dog is unique and all require a tailored approach to best suit their own learning needs. With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, a Havanese can be taught basic obedience commands such as 'sit' and 'come' as well as fun activities like playing 'fetch' and 'hide-and-seek'. It is important to start early and give plenty of praise during the training process.
