Questions & Answers
Havaneses are known for their high intelligence, friendly temperament, and sociability, but here are some fun facts you may not know about them! Havaneses are an ancient breed of dog originating in Cuba, first seen around the sixteenth century and likely descended from crosses between Bichon-type dogs and local Cuban breeds. They're also incredibly versatile, adept at many activities such as watchdogging, obedience, agility, and even dock diving. Interestingly, these pint-sized pooches have practically no undercoat, making them better suited to climates with low humidity.
No, Havaneses will generally not cause allergies. Allergies, in general, are exacerbated by dander from pet fur regardless of their breed. That being said, Havaneses can cause allergic reactions, but are considered one of the least likely breeds to do so. This means that if you are looking for a breed that is low-risk when it comes to allergy reactions, a Havaneses is an excellent choice. Since all dogs produce some dander, it is important to keep in mind that everyone may react differently.
Yes, Havaneses have special dietary needs. They need a well-balanced diet that includes an appropriate amount of fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Meat and fish should make up the majority of their diet, while fruits, vegetables, and grains should also be included. They are prone to having elevated cholesterol, so it is essential to look out for healthy, low-fat sources of proteins, and keep treats in moderation. The Havaneses is an active breed and requires a high-quality diet that is tailored towards providing them with their energy needs.
Before bringing your Havanese into your home, you should take some preparatory steps to make sure you are setting up the best possible environment for them. Start by puppy-proofing your home by tucking away any breakable items, securing or removing any cords or wires, and keeping any hazardous items such as cleaning products out of reach. It's a good idea to also secure any furniture so your puppy can't climb or jump on it and potentially injure themselves. Additionally, purchase appropriate supplies such as a bed, crate, leash, harness, and a few toys.
While many people consider Havaneses to be small dogs, they actually rank in the medium-sized category according to the American Kennel Club. Generally, a Havaneses weighs seven to 13 pounds and stands 8 to 11 inches tall. They have a thick, curly coat that can come in various colors including white, gold, fawn, and black. Although their small size might suggest they are good apartment dogs, a lack of regular exercise and solo confinement may breed anxiety and other behavioral problems in the Havaneses.
Havaneses are relatively small, active dogs. While they do not require a long daily exercise period, they do need daily exercise for physical and mental stimulation. For a healthy adult Havaneses, a good 30 minutes of exercise every day is advisable. Although this can vary depending on age and health, the majority of Havaneses can benefit from daily exercise such as running, walking, swimming, or playing fetch.
Yes, Havaneses typically get along quite well with children. They are generally considered to be an affectionate breed, and they have a tendency to form strong bonds with members of their human family. They also possess good problem solving skills, making them relatively easy to train. On top of this, Havaneses have a lot of energy and they love to play so younger family members will have no shortage of fun activities to do together.
To properly train a Havanese, start by providing lots of positive reinforcement such as treats, hugs, and verbal praise. Before beginning, determine a clear goal for the desired behavior and be consistent with the commands used to teach them. It is also important that everyone involved in the training process is consistent in their approach, as this form of consistency is essential when teaching. When training, use positive reinforcement consistently as soon as your Havanese completes the desired behavior correctly. Additionally, avoid using punishment with your puppy as this can make them more unruly than if no punishment or reward were used.
