Questions & Answers
A Havanese is a small, welcoming breed of dog originating in the Cuban capital of Havana where it was bred as a companion of the city's affluent families. This tiny, yet resilient breed, is often described as a maltese in a cotton ball thanks to its extremely soft and curly white coat which is sometimes highlighted by shades of cream, gold, beige, or black. An outgoing pup, the Havanese is a sociable and gentle companion who loves to interact with people and animals.
The Havanese coat is unmistakable for its long, silky, and wavy texture. It is usually two to three inches in length and can be kept either untrimmed or trimmed to a shorter length to look neat. Colors range from white, black, and cream to brown, sable, and mixed colors. The coat of this breed is neither too heavy nor too thin, so it consistently keeps a climate of comfort for owners and their dogs.
The best dog food for Havaneses may vary, depending on their individual activity level, age, and dietary needs. As a group, however, Havaneses tend to do well on high-protein diets that provide the appropriate balance of fatty acids. Such a diet should contain ingredients like chicken or fish meal, eggs, vegetables, and grains, which are all excellent sources of protein. Supplementing these foods with vitamin and mineral-rich additives, as well as some essential fatty acids like fish oil, can help ensure that your Havaneses hair coat remains shiny and healthy.
To best prepare your home for your new Havanese, start by doing a thorough home safety check. Inspect every windowsill, balcony, doorstep, and staircase and create barriers that will protect your pet from reaching high ledges or dangerous areas. Second, pet-proof your house. Move electrical cords, plants, and other items that could be hazardous or damaged by your pet. Lastly, organize a space to store their food, treats, and toys. Make sure they have access to a comfortable, safe, and easily accessible space so they can be comfortable and happy in their new home.
The average adult Havanese stands at eight to eleven inches tall and weighs seven to thirteen pounds when fully grown. Their maximum size and weight as an adult will depend on several factors, such as the dog's gender, diet, and exercise routine. Some individuals might grow smaller while others might grow much larger. Therefore, there is no definitive answer to this question since the size of a fully grown Havaneses can vary. It is important to keep in mind that as a toy breed of dog, they generally stay quite small even when fully grown.
As with any breed of dog, Havaneses have individual exercise needs, but their small size and energy level generally mean they need less than many other dogs. Generally, Havaneses need at least 30 minutes of physical exercise per day, whether it be through a leisurely walk or more vigorous play. It's important to meet their exercise needs for them to stay happy and healthy, as well as engage their minds with activities and toys. Still, they do best with short bursts of energy rather than prolonged exercising, and may weary faster than other breeds.
Generally speaking, Havaneses get along very well with kids. They are known as a very social breed who loves people, especially children. While they may startle easily at loud noises or sudden movements, they tend not to demonstrate aggression unless provoked. They have a patient and loving demeanor that allows them to become very bonded with their families, and with kids in particular. With consistent training, they can learn basic commands and become a loving companion that will provide numerous hours of fun and entertainment for kids.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to how many minutes per day you should train your Havaneses. It depends on age, activity level, and overall health of the dog. Generally speaking, a Havaneses should get at least 20-30 minutes of exercise daily, which can be broken into two or three 10-15 minute sessions. That said, for young or active Havaneses, an hour a day of exercise is recommended to ensure they get ample physical and mental stimulation.
