Questions & Answers

Havaneses are considered to be a low-allergen breed of dog. They have a low-shedding coat and are considered to be an ideal pet for allergy sufferers. Because they produce less of the natural oils that can trigger allergies, the Havaneses is often discussed as being hypoallergenic. However, allergens are small proteins found in the saliva, urine, and dander (dead skin) of all animals, so even this low-allergen producing breed may not be completely hypoallergenic.
Havanese love to eat, so it's important to make sure that their diet is balanced and healthy. The best food for a Havanese is a high quality dry food that is specifically designed for small and medium-sized breeds. Look for food that includes specific nutrients that are beneficial for your breed. As a supplement, your pup may enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, cooked chicken, and plain yogurt. Healthy treats are also a great reward look for treats that are made with genuine ingredients the same kind you would give your family.
Havanese are known for being a resilient breed of dog, but like any other pet they still have specific care requirements. They have a medium-length coat that will need frequent brushing and occasional professional grooming to keep it looking its best. Exercise is also important; Havanese typically need walks or play time at least twice a day to help them stay healthy and content. Furthermore, Havanese can be quite vocal, so providing plenty of structure and reinforcement is regularly recommended. Socialization and obedience training is key in establishing a strong and positive bond of trust.
Havaneses are an exceptional breed of small companion dogs, considered to be big in spirit. They average between 7-13 pounds and stand around 9-11 inches at the shoulder, making them a smaller breed of dog. However, these dogs can give off a much larger presence than size can reflect. They are happy, energetic, and loyal, living up to their big-dog personalities. Havaneses are intelligent and trainable; they are eager to please and master new tricks with time and patience.
The amount of time you should walk your Havanese per day depends on several factors including its age, activity level, and overall health. Generally, it is recommended to walk your Havanese for at least 30 minutes daily, with additional walks and off-leash time being encouraged. Although walking won’t substitute for other canine activities such as playing and socializing, absent those activities, your Havanese will require more than 30 minutes of walking each day.
Yes, Havaneses usually get along with other pets! In fact, these small, intelligent dogs tend to be best friends with other animals, including cats, rabbits, and birds. They are known for being gentle and loving towards other animals, and are highly trainable and responsive to commands. Havaneses are natural problem-solvers, making them perfect for interacting with other pets. With a little bit of patience and training, they will learn the rules quickly and provide companionship to any other pet your home might have.
Training a Havanese requires patience, consistency and positive reinforcement. To begin, it is important to start with basic commands such as 'sit', 'stay', or 'come'. Once your dog understands these simple commands, you can start exploring more advanced ones such as 'down' or 'heel'. It is important to use a consistent sign or gesture associated with each command. Also, be sure to use treats or your verbal praise to reward your dog when they are doing what you have asked. Training should be done in short, regular intervals.
