Questions & Answers
Havaneses are small, friendly dogs that have been bred in Cuba since the 1800s. They make great companions for any family due to their affectionate demeanor and cheerful disposition. They are playful and easy to train but need a firm hand to establish the rules and boundaries in their everyday lives. In terms of personality, the Havaneses are intelligent, inquisitive, and highly loyal to their family members. These dogs are an excellent choice for those who are looking for a relatively low maintenance, loving pet.
Unless you suffer from pet allergies, Havaneses are unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Generally, dogs with a single-layer coat, such as Havaneses, tend to produce less allergens than dogs with double-coated fur. That being said, some Havaneses may still produce enough allergens to irritate your allergies or worsen any existing allergic conditions. The best way to determine if a Havaneses is a good fit for you is to be around one as often as possible to see if your allergies are triggered.
Havaneses, like many other dog breeds, have some dietary needs that should be taken into consideration when selecting food or treats to give them. Generally, they need high-quality food with a proper combination of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins to maintain a healthy weight and ensure they develop correctly. They tend to have more sensitive gastrointestinal systems than other breeds, so Havaneses benefit from food that's easier to digest. To ensure they get the appropriate nutrients for their ideal body weight, you should offer them a balanced diet or a commercially prepared food specifically made for small breed dogs.
It is true that Havanese do have some special requirements. They require a lot of regular mental and physical exercise as well as socialization, which can help keep them from becoming destructive. Being a small breed, a Havanese may require a little more time and attention than a larger breed. Proper grooming is important for their upkeep, and it should be done at least two to three times a week. Havanese should also be fed a diet appropriate for a small breed dog and should not be given table scraps or human food.
Havaneses are considered a toy breed size dog, not classified as a big dog. They are medium-sized dogs, typically ranging in weight from 7 to 15 pounds, with a height that can vary from 8 to 11 inches. As a comparison, popular breeds such as labradors typically weigh between 55 to 75 lbs, and dachshunds typically weigh between 16 to 32 lbs. Therefore, in comparison to other breeds, the Havaneses are on the smaller side, not considered to be a large or extra-large breed.
Generally speaking, it is possible to take your Havanese running, however, it is not recommended to do so due to the small size of the breed. Many Havanese are not suited to long distances, or much exertion, as their small legs and body can tire quickly. Additionally, even in warm weather, Havanese are not well-suited for exposure to the heat or humidity for extended periods due to their thick double coat. For this reason, it is usually a better option to exercise your Havanese with shorter walks or light play in the yard.
Havaneses are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and even-tempered nature, making them great companion dogs that can easily fit into family life. As with any dog, they need early socialization from a young age in order to make them excellent around children. They have an outgoing and gentle spirit, loving to be around family, cuddle, and entertain with their lively personality. However, due to their small size, Havaneses are generally recommended for families with older children as rough behavior can accidentally hurt them.
Training a Havanese is relatively easy. The breed is known for being intelligent and eager to please, making them an ideal choice for a first-time dog owner. It is important to start training as soon as you bring your Havanese home. Start with basic commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." Use positive reinforcement such as food rewards or praise when they do something correctly. Consistency is also key to successful and effective training.
