Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a small, loving breed of dog that originates from Cuba. They are a lively, playful breed that can adapt to many different environments. They are loyal and affectionate with their owners, and enjoy spending as much time as possible with their people. Havaneses should be socialized early and often to be properly behaved around other animals and strangers. This breed does require regular grooming and should be clipped approximately every six to eight weeks. The Havaneses does require some exercise, but their activity level is not as high as some of the larger breeds.
Managing allergies with Havaneses can be a challenge, but there are a few steps that you can take to ensure that you and your pet are happy and healthy. First, make sure that any food or treats that you offer to your Havaneses don’t contain any of the allergens to which you are sensitive. Be sure to keep the areas that your pup frequents as clean as possible, and use hypoallergenic cleaning products. Regularly groom them with an allergy-friendly grooming brush.
Feeding your Havanese an appropriate diet is key to keeping your pup happy and healthy. Generally, a quality dry kibble is your best bet, making sure to choose a formulation that is specially designed to meet the specific needs of a small breed. Look for a kibble that is rich in animal-based proteins and low in carbohydrates, and make sure there is a substantial taurine content. Quality wet foods are another option, but be careful to avoid high-fat meals as extra dietary fat can cause health issues in a Havanese.
To become the best puppy parent for your Havanese, it's important to establish a strong bond with them and develop a routine to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met. Start by getting to know their personality traits are they more active or laid back? Then initiate playtime and exercise a few times each day to keep them aware and stimulated. Additionally, make sure you're providing plenty of socialization and keep up with the brushing and bathing schedule. Most importantly, make sure you give your pup plenty of attention and affection, and find activities that you and your pup can do together.
Havaneses are a small breed of dog, typically weighing between 7 and 13 pounds when fully grown. As for height, the American Kennel Club official breed standard states that males and females should measure approximately 8 and a half to 11 and a half inches at the shoulder. While technically considered toy-sized dogs, their stocky build gives them a slightly larger appearance than some other dogs of their size. However, due to their small size, they are not suitable for households with small children as they can become easily overwhelmed and hurt if handled incorrectly.
It is possible for your Havanese to go running with you, however, it is important to consider your dog's age and overall health before doing so. Of course, puppies and senior dogs are not built the same as middle-aged dogs, so it is vital to take their level of maturity and stamina into account. You should also understand that as with any breed, Havanese are susceptible to certain health problems related to over-exercising. It is recommended that you begin by taking your Havanese on shorter runs and then gradually increase the distance and intensity over time.
Generally, Havaneses can get along with other pets if properly introduced and socialized. They are typically friendly dogs and, when properly trained, are capable of respecting other pet's boundaries. Socializing your Havaneses and other pets together in a safe controlled setting is the best way to ensure that they can all interact peacefully. If the other pet is also a dog, it is recommended that Havaneses and the other pet have a slow introduction, with initially only brief and monitored exposures.
Training your Havanese requires consistency, repetition, and positive reinforcement. Begin by introducing simple commands, like “sit,” “stay,” and “come,” and reward your Havanese with tasty treats when he follows your commands. Use clear voice tones and be sure to give commands in the same manner each time. The key is to stay patient and consistent. Allow for plenty of short training sessions throughout the day in place of long sessions. This helps keep their attention focused and minimizes distractions.
