Questions & Answers
One of the most interesting things about Havaneses is their intelligence and energy. They are incredibly smart, so much so that they often learn commands and tricks much more quickly than other dog breeds. They are also very energetic and affectionate which makes them great companions. Because of their intelligence, Havaneses are also great guard dogs. The breed was originally developed to be a watchdog and their alert nature makes them an excellent choice for protecting your family and home. Another interesting thing about Havaneses is their hypoallergenic fur.
Yes, Havaneses are generally known to be a non-shedding breed. This means that they don't leave hair all over the place like most breeds. They do, however, require frequent brushing and grooming to keep their coat in top condition. Keeping up on regular grooming sessions will control tangles, mats and shedding. They also tend to have a thick, wooly coat which means that regular brushing can help to reduce the occurrence of mats. In addition to non-shedding benefits, Havaneses have the perk of not requiring regular shaving or trimming contrary to other breeds.
Well, the feeding requirements for your Havanese will depend on his age, size, activity level, and any underlying health conditions. Generally speaking, a high-quality diet formulated for the age and size of your pet should be the first place to start. You can also look for options that are free of allergens and appropriate for a small breed. It's also important to stick to a regular feeding schedule. Ask your vet if you should provide wet or dry food, or a combination of both.
Before getting a Havanese, it is important to make sure your home is puppy-proofed, complete with gates, locks, and plenty of chew toys. Essential items to buy include puppy food, a crate, a comfortable bed, food and water bowls, a collar and leash, grooming supplies, and puppy training and enrichment tools. In addition, it is advisable to look into registration and microchipping to ensure your pet will be able to find its way home if it ever gets lost.
The size of your Havanese puppy will depend on many factors. The age and sex of the puppy, as well as the size of the puppy's parents, can all influence the size your puppy will reach once it is fully grown. Generally speaking, Havanese puppies can reach between 8-11 inches in height and weigh anywhere between 6 and 13 pounds when fully mature. In order to get the most accurate information about the expected size of your puppy, it may be best to talk to your veterinarian or the breeder from whom you purchased the puppy.
Havaneses are a relatively active breed of dog, and as such require daily exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. It is recommended that they be taken on a daily walk of at least 30 minutes and receive vigorous activity for a minimum of 45 minutes each day. If your Havaneses is a puppy or an otherwise less active adult, they may be able to get by with a shorter walk but more frequent bursts of vigorous play and activity. Additionally, plenty of mental stimulation should be provided to keep the Havaneses stimulated and to ward off boredom.
Havaneses are well known for their intelligence, devotion and affectionate nature, making them an excellent family pet. They are an intelligent breed and can be trained easily. Their loyal, cheerful and social personality make them a perfect companion for single owners and for families alike. Moreover, they tend to be friendly with other animals and children, meaning that they would fit into a variety of households. While they are active and enjoy a play session, Havaneses don't require a great deal of exercise and will also settle indoors with their family quite happily, provided they get enough mental stimulation and exercise.
Training your Havanese is possible with consistency and patience. Start by providing frequent opportunities for your Havanese to practice good behavior. Reinforce desired behaviors with positive reinforcement such as affection, treats, or verbal praise. Accompany any corrections with verbal direction and repetition to ensure your Havanese understands what you are asking of them. Whenever possible, keep your training sessions positive and upbeat. Finally, plan for frequent practice, as doing a little bit of training most days will help your Havanese learn quicker than one long session each week.
