Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a smallto medium-sized dog classified in the Bichon type of the Non-Sporting group by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Originating from Cuba, the breed is believed to have developed as a miniature version of the Bichon Tenerife. Their rounded head, short muzzle, and prominent eyes, combined with their short, wavy white coats, give Havaneses a look that make them distinctive from other breeds. They are intelligent, energetic, and highly sociable. They're loyal companions and require regular grooming.
The Havanese coat is a beautiful, light-colored, silky, and wavy double-coat. It is slightly long, has a rounded head, and the coat should not reach further than the dog's elbow. The outercoat is long and wavy, while the undercoat is soft and fluffy. Grooming the coat requires brushing at least twice weekly to remove dead hair and maintain the coat's integrity. The Havanese does not require clipping, but instead needs to be shown by brushing and combing which produces a beautiful natural sheen and texture.
Yes, Havaneses have some special dietary needs that should be taken into consideration since it is a breed that is susceptible to obesity. As such, it is important to provide them with food that is appropriate for their unique nutritional needs.

Furthermore, as with any breed, treats should not make up more than 10% of their daily caloric intake.
Before bringing a Havanese into your home, it's important to make sure your space is prepared to welcome your new pet. If you have an outdoor space, create a secure, safe space like a fenced-in yard or an enclosed patio or balcony area. Make sure any plants or landscaping are pet-safe. Inside the home, make sure any windows, ledges or staircases are properly protected with the appropriate safety measures. Remove any items that may pose a hazard to your pet, such as wires, cords and breakable items.
The size of your Havanese puppy can vary depending on the individual, but generally adult Havanese weigh between 7 and 13 pounds when fully grown. However, they may be smaller or larger depending on the specific bloodline. It's important to speak to a veterinarian to make sure the puppy is growing appropriately. Since Havanese are a Toy breed, they will stay very small in size compared to many other dog breeds. Generally, the amount of exercise and diet your puppy receives can also influence its size.
Yes, Havaneses love to swim! They have an incredible appetite for water and enjoy exploring the depths of their environment. Many of them are natural swimmers, meaning they start out swimming confidently with no coaxing or training from their owner. Even as very young puppies, Havaneses have often been observed swimming around their pens or paddling in the water. They also have webbed feet, which helps them to paddle faster and longer, even in stronger currents.
Yes, Havaneses typically get along with other pets very well. They are an intelligent and gentle breed that are amicable and friendly to new pets.
