Questions & Answers
Havaneses, sometimes referred to as Bichon Havanese, are small toy dogs that are members of the Bichon family. They're treasured for their curiosity, intelligence, gentle nature and playful disposition. As such, Havaneses are often labeled as companion dogs, as they thrive in close relationships with humans and become attached to their owners very quickly. Although they can be trained for agility contests, they are not recommended for outdoors and large spaces, as their fragile bodies are not suitable for it.
Havaneses are generally considered to be a hypoallergenic breed of dog. However, allergies can vary greatly from person to person and no breed of dog is completely non-allergenic. The best way to determine if a Havaneses is right for you is to spend some time with one. Generally, dogs with a short, single-layer coat have a lesser chance of causing an allergic reaction. The Havaneses is a small breed with a short, lightweight coat composed of a single layer of soft, silky hair which can help minimize a reaction.
While all breeds of dogs have their individual nutritional needs, Havaneses may have some special dietary considerations relative to other breeds. They tend to be at risk for weight gain, so it’s important to provide nutrition that is both high quality and appropriate for their size. Also, Havaneses are known for having a finicky appetite and may turn away from certain food types, so it’s important to include palatable and appetizing ‘people food’ in their diets.
Preparing for your new Havanese should be a fun and exciting task. Before bringing home your new pup, research the breed's typical behaviors, characteristics, and needs. Speak with your veterinarian to ensure you have appropriate supplies and resources for your dog's health and wellness. Make sure to have plenty of toys to keep the pup entertained, as well as good quality food and treats for training. Consider crate training your new Havanese for housebreaking as well as having a designated safe place for your pup to go.
Though Havaneses are small dogs, the breed is actually considered to be of medium size. An adult Havaneses typically stands between 8.5 to 11.5 inches tall and typically weighs between 7 to 13 pounds. While they may not seem particularly large in size, Havaneses are often described as having 'big hearts' due to their friendly, loyal, and loving nature. Furthermore, their long coats, thick tails, and big prick ears make them look larger than they actually are. In conclusion, Havaneses can definitely be considered 'big dogs' in more ways than one!
Depending on your Havanese's age, health, daily activity levels, and overall physical condition, you may be able to take your dog running. However, you should always consult with your veterinarian first as certain breeds of dogs may not be suited to such vigorous activity. Long-distance running may be too strenuous for your Havanese, however shorter distances and slow strolls should be fine. If your Havanese is a puppy, it's best to wait until it is at least one year old before taking it on runs.
Yes, Havaneses typically get along very well with children. They are energetic and playful, making them the perfect companion for young children. As far as temperament is concerned, Havaneses are known for being quite friendly and loving, traits which bode well for a playmate. However, they have been known to bark a lot, so this should be kept in mind when allowing Havaneses to interact with very young children. Socialization and early training are also important to ensure that the Havaneses realizes that children should not be treated overly rough or jumped on.
It depends on the age, health, and individual needs of your Havanese. Generally, young Havanese should get at least 45 minutes of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and playtime per day. At least 30 minutes should be dedicated to physical activities, such as walking, running, and playing fetch. The remaining time should be focused on mental stimulation and socialization activities, such as obedience training, agility training, puzzle-solving, and interacting with other dogs. As the dog ages, physical exercise may be reduced in intensity and duration.
