Questions & Answers
The Havaneses, also known as the Bichon Havanais, is a breed of small, lightweight toy dog that belongs to the Bichon family of dogs. They are renowned for their long, silky coats and are worn out in a curious upward spiral. Havaneses are known for their cheerful and friendly personalities and hip-high hops. They are also quite intelligent and easy to train. They are an excellent companion for families and are well-suited for apartment living due to their small size.
Havaneses generally do not cause allergies, but unfortunately, any breed of dog can cause a person to become allergic. Some people may develop an allergy to certain breeds due to the breed's dander (loose hair or flakes from the skin). If you suspect that you may be allergic to a Havaneses, the best way to find out for sure is to consult with an allergist. An allergist can provide a detailed evaluation and may be able to recommend alternatives for pet ownership that will help to alleviate any symptoms of pet allergies.
To ensure that your Havanese is receiving a nourishing and complete diet, it is best to feed them commercial dog food specially formulated for their size and age. Depending on your pet's health needs, you may need to switch to different types of dog food, such as grain-free or low-calorie formulas. In addition, supplementing with fresh, human-grade ingredients such as cooked lean meats, fruits, and vegetables while avoiding garlic can provide a natural boost in health benefits, provided that they are served in moderation.
Preparing your home for a new Havanese can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. To ensure the transition to your home is smoother, start by eliminating potential hazards and pet-proofing areas they will have access to. Remove or block access to anything dangerous or harmful, like wires or furniture with sharp edges. Create a space for your new pet; make sure to include a bed or crate, toys, water, and food dishes.
Havaneses come in a range of sizes, from smaller toy-breed sized dogs to medium-sized, stocky adults. They can typically grow up to nine to eleven inches tall, at the shoulder, and weigh between eight to fourteen pounds. The body of a Havaneses is typically compact, with a broad chest and strong, well developed musculature. The skull of a Havaneses is round and they tend to have larger ears that may give them a slightly humorous and playful look when they playfully cock their heads.
Havaneses are active and playful, and as such need to have a good amount of exercise to stay healthy and happy. The amount of exercise each day varies based on the age and size of the dog, but generally, adult Havaneses need 30 to 45 minutes of physical activity split between two to three walks and playtime. If you have a puppy, then it's important to give them shorter walks and playtime sessions longer as they need to slowly build up tolerance to both the heat and exertion.
Generally yes, Havaneses get along with other pets! This breed of dog is known for their intelligence, socialization, and willingness to get along with people and animals of all sorts. Interestingly, Havaneses can sometimes even form social connections with cats and other animals. This friendly and energetic breed loves to be around people and adapts well to different housemates, including those of their own species and from other species. Despite this, it's still important to stimulate and socialize a Havaneses, as with any other pet, to help them get along with other animals.
Havaneses are often recognized for their intelligence due to their high aptitude for problem solving. They are very clever and can quickly learn new tasks. Owners of Havaneses need to give their pet plenty of practice and exercise to keep them mentally stimulated, as well as because regular psychological stimulation helps to ensure that they stay mentally sharp. It is important to note, however, that any intelligent animal's intelligence will only reach its fullest potential through consistent training and socialization. As long as their owners give them the requisite attention, Havaneses can demonstrate remarkable levels of intelligence.
