Questions & Answers
Fun facts about Havaneses are plentiful! The Havaneses breed of dogs originated in the sixteenth century in Cuba and are descended from a type of small mixed-breed dog known as the ‘Cuban Bichon’. They are considered to be an intelligent, cheerful breed, and are incredibly social and friendly. They make excellent city dogs as they adapt well to apartment living, and are small enough to be well-suited for city living. They are an incredibly companionable breed, and get along well with other animals and children.
Managing allergies with a Havaneses requires some special consideration. Firstly, identifying the allergens is important and should be done with the help of a veterinarian. Once identified, steps can be taken to reduce the allergic reaction in your Havaneses, including providing a diet that is free of the allergens, as well as bathing the Havaneses regularly with a medicated shampoo. Additionally, keeping the area where the Havaneses sleeps clean of dust mites, pollen, and other allergens is important. Lastly, antihistamines may be prescribed to reduce the severity of an allergic reaction.
Havaneses are small dogs that have high energy and require a nutrient-dense diet to keep their bodies healthy. Commonly, they are fed either a commercial dry dog food or a diet made up of fresh human-grade ingredients. Generally, it is best to consult a veterinarian to come up with the right nutritional plan for your pup. Healthy food options for them may include lean proteins like chicken, beef, and fish, complex carbohydrates like oats, barley, and quinoa, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Havanese are a special breed that may have some unique requirements. They often need extra love and attention, as their natural tendency is to be a lap dog and have always been bred to be the companion of a human. They may require a little extra grooming due to their long coat, and as a rule of thumb they need a brushing and combing about every other day to prevent mats and tangles from forming. They also require regular coat trimmings, especially between the pads of the feet.
Havaneses typically come in the toy, miniature, and standard sizes; however, due to a wide range of genetic variables, not all Havaneses are the same size. Generally speaking, most Havaneses will be around 9 to 12 inches tall when measured from the shoulder to the paw, with toy-sized Havaneses being on the smaller end of that range and standard-sized Havaneses being on the larger end.
While many Havanese owners take their dogs running, it is not the best activity for this breed. Havanese dogs have a delicate build that can be difficult to sustain when exposed to rigorous physical activities. Furthermore, their short legs don't facilitate running as well as dogs with longer legs and sturdier frames. Instead, it's best to give your Havanese regular exercise that suits their age, energy levels, and physical abilities such as short walks or playtime in the yard.
Yes, Havaneses are excellent family dogs! Not only are they full of love and affection, but they are also very intelligent and easily trainable. They get along wonderfully with children, as they are playful and social in nature. They are also quite devoted to their family, so they make great lapdogs. With minimal grooming and a moderate activity level, they make great additions to any household. Because they are relatively small, Havaneses can also be great apartment dogs, but they do need to get enough exercise each day.
Havaneses are known for being exceptionally smart dogs. They have been studied by canine intelligence researchers who have concluded that they are among the top 5 smartest breeds of dogs. They are highly trainable, eager to please their owners, and exhibit problem solving skills, all qualities associated with intelligence. Havaneses can learn commands quickly and remember them for long periods of time. They are also exceptionally loyal and bond closely with their owners.
