Questions & Answers

The breed's small size and happy-go-lucky nature make them ideal for small living spaces. Not only that, their intelligence make them easy to train and aptly adept at learning new tasks and tricks. Overall, you can expect a Havaneses to be an incredibly loving and devoted companion.
Havaneses are considered hypoallergenic due to the fact that the breed boasts non-shedding fur which produces significantly less dander and airborne allergens than most other dogs. This, in combination with their small size, helps them to make an ideal pet for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. However, it is important to note that every dog is different and may still cause an allergic reaction in certain individuals. It's best to consult with your allergist to determine what breed may be best for you.
The best dog food for Havaneses is a high-protein diet, preferably one made with whole-food ingredients. A diet like this can help to maintain the health and energy of your little canine. When looking for a food, look for a grain-free or low-grain option, high-quality animal proteins, and ingredients like sweet potatoes, potatoes, or peas for carbohydrates. Healthy fats like fish oil are also important. Avoid foods with artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, filler proteins such as corn or soy, and too many carbohydrates.
While Havanese are generally a low-maintenance breed, they do have a few special requirements. Firstly, it's important to provide this breed with around 45-60 minutes of daily exercise, either through walks or romps in the backyard. They need regular grooming, especially if they are show dogs or dogs with full coats, as the long fur can become easily matted. They also need to be mentally stimulated. If they’re not kept busy with puzzles, walks, games, and other activities, they can become easily bored and prone to separation anxiety.
Havaneses are considered smallto medium-sized dogs, typically weighing anywhere from 7 up to 18 pounds. Visually, Havaneses often appear to be larger due to their thick, fluffy coats, but they are much lower in height compared to large breeds. Some describe Havaneses as looking like a toy dog as their muscular builds tend to pack a lot of power into a smaller package. All in all, the Havaneses is a great breed for those looking for an energetic, small companion.
Yes, Havaneses definitely enjoy swimming. It is one of their most beloved activities as it gives them an opportunity to have fun in the water and get some exercise at the same time. Havaneses are natural swimmers thanks to their strong rear legs that drive the power for the propulsion of their body through the water. In addition, they are quite agile and coordinated, which makes them well-suited for more advanced swimming techniques. All of these factors make swimming a fun and rewarding experience for Havaneses and their owners.
Generally speaking, Havaneses are very good family dogs and get along well with children of all ages. Usually, they are loyal, friendly and intelligent, which makes them perfect companions for young people. Havaneses are often very patient and tolerant, willing to spend time playing and having fun with the children and therefore, can make excellent playmates. Additionally, they create strong bonds with their family, which can help create a strong bond between them and the children.
Training a Havanese should begin early, as soon as you bring your new pup home. Training should be consistent and positive, using rewards-based reinforcement. Start with basic commands such as sit, come, and stay, which will be helpful as they mature. Socialize your Havanese by exposing them to a variety of people and activities to build their confidence. Teaching them proper leash etiquette or basic agility skills are also great ways to help them get the exercise they need. Be sure to make it a fun activity for the both of you, as these dogs can be easily distracted.
