Questions & Answers
Havaneses are a small, lively breed of dog which are often referred to as ‘Bichon Frise’ or ‘Havanese Cuban Bichon’. They are part of the ‘Bichon’ group of dogs which is a sub-class of the toy group of dogs categorised by the American Kennel Club. The AKC defines the characteristics of this group as companion-sized dogs which are often very friendly, intelligent and lively.
No, Havaneses are not known to cause allergic reactions in humans. While other pets may be the source of allergies, Havaneses are actually considered hypoallergenic due to their low level of dander. Because their hair coat is so short, typically they are not seen to have dander or shedding, which is the usual cause of allergies. Additionally, due to their low-shedding quality, frequent brushing is not generally needed to keep their fur looking neat and tidy.
It is best to avoid feeding Havaneses things like chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, grapes, and raisins as these can all be toxic to these small and sensitive dogs. They also have trouble digesting large amounts of dietary fat, foods that are too salty, or things that contain xylitol. You should only feed them food that is approved for their breed from reputable sources and in the correct portions. Furthermore, you should consult with your veterinarian to ensure that your Havaneses are receiving a balanced, healthy diet.
First, purchase the essential items for your new Havanese dog bed, food and water dishes, collar and leash, toys, treats, and grooming supplies. Make sure to also choose a safe area in your home, such as a laundry room or kitchen, that can act as the puppy's designated place. Additionally, you should remove any hazardous items from around the house that may be attractive to a small animal, like chemicals and electrical cords.
Havaneses are considered small dogs according to American Kennel Club standards. The breed usually stands around 8.5-11 inches at the withers, and weighs between 7-13 pounds. This makes them an ideal choice for those looking for a smaller pup as they fit the bill of being of a small size. As a result, they have become quite popular amongst pet owners being particularly easy to train and typically possessing an even-tempered personality. As a Bichon-type of dog, their coat is typically curly and thick suitable for those who prefer this kind of breed.
Yes, Havaneses are highly active dogs! They require regular daily walks to release their energy, as well as mental and physical stimulation to keep them healthy and happily occupied. Playing fetch with them, giving them interactive games, and allowing them to socialize with other dogs in a safe space can all help to keep them engaged and content. Although they are small in size, Havaneses are spritely and have an eye-catching alertness to them. They are quick on their feet and always up to explore their environment.
Absolutely Havaneses can make wonderful companions for first-time owners. They are generally quite intelligent and easy to train, as long as owners are patient and consistent with their training. They are also friendly and outgoing, making them excellent pets for children and families. Most importantly, their playful and energetic nature requires plenty of exercise and interaction perfect for someone just diving into the world of pet ownership. Although Havaneses may require slightly more grooming and upkeep than other breeds due to their longer coats, overall they are an easy breed to care for.
Training a Havanese can be relatively straightforward when approached in a positive and consistent manner. However, establishing a good bond with your pet is the most important foundation for successful obedience and behavior training. As an intelligent breed, a Havanese will require mental stimulation and consistent positive reinforcement to internalize certain skills. It's also important to remember that all Havanese are individuals so each pet's needs and learning styles may vary. If you're patient, consistent, and positive when training your Havanese, you can generally expect to have a happy and obedient companion.
