Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a small, distinctive breed of toy dog that is a member of the Bichon family. Their lively disposition, intelligence, and affectionate nature is what makes them such desirable pets. Despite their small size, Havaneses are full of personality and can provide hours of entertainment due their playful nature. The American Kennel Club considers the Havaneses to be a non-sporting group breed. They typically have a curly white coat and captivating dark round eyes that draw you in.
Although it is not impossible, Havaneses do not typically cause allergies in people, so it is unlikely that they are the cause of any allergies you may have. Owning this breed of dog does not generally mean that you will have to deal with pesky allergies. However, every person is different and may be allergic to the dander a certain breed produces, so it is always best to check with your doctor and consider taking special precautions if you have any existing allergies. Allergies aside, this breed is a joy to own thanks to its playful demeanor and low maintenance needs.
Havaneses are usually fed a high-quality commercial dry dog food. Typically, they should also have access to fresh vegetables, such as carrots, broccoli, and apples. They will also enjoy cooked lean beef, boiled chicken, cooked fish, and cottage cheese. Treats should be given sparingly. It's important to feed them in measured portions with meals spread out throughout the day to properly maintain their energy levels.
Yes, Havanese do have special requirements. They require a great deal of physical activity to remain healthy, so if considering a Havanese as a pet, one should be prepared for daily exercise. Also, Havanese are best suited to an indoor environment as their coats are not weather-resistant. They may require weekly grooming to prevent matting and keep their long, full coats healthy and looking their best. Additionally, Havanese can benefit from regular veterinary visits to keep them in perfect health and help them stay up-to-date on vaccines and other preventative measures.
While genetics can be a contributing factor, it is more accurate to say that the size of a Havaneses is dependent on its individual build. Havaneses dogs come in a wide variety of sizes, with some being larger than others. On average, a full-grown Havaneses usually weigh between 7 and 13 pounds and measure between 8 and 11 inches at the shoulder.

Yes, you can take your Havanese running! However, it's important to keep in mind that these dogs often have short muzzles, so they may not be able to keep up with you for very long. If you plan on taking your Havanese running, it's best to start with shorter and gentler runs or walks until your pup gets in shape. Additionally, it's essential that during summer months you avoid running during the hottest part of the day, when the pavement could become too hot for their sensitive paws.
Absolutely! Havaneses make wonderful family dogs. They are incredibly smart and enjoy learning new things. They are eager to please, making them easy to train. They are affectionate and loyal, so they form close bonds with their families. They are also good with children and get along with other animals.

The amount of minutes per day that a Havaneses should be trained depends largely on its personality, energy level, and age. Generally speaking, these dogs are calm and require less exercise than many other breeds, but they still require some training to be kept well-behaved. It is recommended to start with 10-15 minute sessions of play, hiking, and basic obedience training spread throughout the day. As the dog becomes more familiar with these activities, the duration and intensity of the sessions can be increased.
