Questions & Answers
Havaneses is a small breed of dog that originated in Cuba. They are lively and affectionate and are known for their loyalty and intelligence. As a breed, they are robust and healthy but have been known to be prone to some common ailments such as hip dysplasia and luxating patellas. They do not require a lot of exercise and are not overly active, but they do enjoy going on walks and are natural companions. With proper care, Havaneses can live up to 15 years. Grooming is an important aspect of maintaining their coat and should be done regularly.
It is possible that you could have an allergic reaction to Havaneses dogs, as you may be allergic to any pet. However, the American Kennel Club reports that Havaneses dogs are very low shedding and have an excellent hypoallergenic coat; making them less likely to cause allergies than some other breeds. In addition, many Havaneses owners report that their dogs do not emit much dander or pet hair, so it may be less likely that you could encounter an allergic reaction.
Feeding a Havaneses should be done with caution as certain human foods may be toxic to them, or worse, lead to an intestinal blockage. It is recommended to only feed your Havaneses puppyand adult-formula dog foods that are specifically created for small breeds. Avoid feeding table scraps as these usually contain too much fat, sugar, salt, or spices.
Preparing for a new Havanese pup can be exciting and overwhelming! Here are some tips to ensure a successful transition for your four-legged friend: First, make sure you have all of the supplies that you will need such as a comfortable bed, sturdy crate, toys, water and food bowls, leash, waste bags and grooming supplies. Also, research the breed to ensure you know how best to care for them. Before your pup arrives, designate a safe space in your home that is just for them. Finally, provide your pup with plenty of attention, love, and positive reinforcement.
Havaneses are typically small, toy-sized dogs that are approximately 7 to 13 pounds. They typically range in height from 8 to 11 inches, making them a great companion for apartments or small homes. While there's no exact measurement defining the size of Havaneses, it's generally agreed that they should not exceed approximately 13 pounds in weight. In terms of activity level, Havaneses can be quite active, often requiring daily walks, and occasional romping outside if space allows.
Yes, Havaneses absolutely love to swim! Not only is it a fun and enjoyable activity for them, it is also beneficial for their physical and mental health. Swimming promotes proper circulation, can help build strong and lean muscle, keeps their joints flexible, and increases their overall stamina. Plus, it is also known to help relieve stress and calm the mind. As well, swimming is a great form of exercise that doesn’t require much impact and is easier on their joints, ensuring that they stay healthy and active.
Generally speaking, Havaneses do get along with other pets quite well. They tend to be good-natured and curious, and they often love to play with other animals. When properly socialized, Havaneses will usually respond very positively to the presence of other pets, while playing and interacting with them in a friendly manner. Even if your Havaneses isn't the most outgoing dog, they can still get along with other animals just fine. The most important thing is to always supervise your dog with new animals, to make sure that everyone stays safe and comfortable.
Training a Havanese certainly isn't the easiest endeavor, but with the right approach, it can absolutely be done. Like any dog, Havanese respond to positive-reinforcement-based training, meaning lots of rewards (in the form of treats, praise, and playtime) for desired behaviors and ignoring undesired behaviors. As an extra incentive for good behavior, it can be helpful to take your Havanese to positive-reinforcement-based training classes, as it can help hone your own training techniques, as well as provide socialization opportunities.
