Havanese Dog

Havanese dogs are a breed that you may have never heard of. They are small dogs that were originally bred in Havana, Cuba. They come in many different colors and coat types. Most color combinations and coat types are allowed in shows. These dogs are considered an intelligent breed, and this breed is very easy to train.

If a person is considering getting a dog for his or her family in the near future, he or she would do well to consider a Havanese and seek information. There are several reasons they make great family pets. First, they are considered to be a hypoallergenic dog as they do not shed naturally (although they must be brushed). Second, these dogs have a mild temperament and even get along with young children, unlike most smaller dogs. Third, they are a healthy breed – especially when compared to many other small-breed dogs.

They are considered (like Bichons and poodles) to be a shed-free dog. This means that they shed very little, although they must be brushed. This type of dog is considered to be hypoallergenic because although they have dander, they do not shed it off easily. This adds one bit of work for a pet owner, because that means they must be brushed frequently to avoid damage to their skin and fur.

The temperament of them is another great reason to have this type of dog. Unlike most small dogs, these dogs do not get nervous around people and children. Most children (even fairly young ones) are able to play with this dog easily.

A huge concern among pet owners, particularly among purebred dog owners, is the general health of the dog and the dog breed. Unlike many dog breeds, particularly smaller dog breeds, the Havanese is relatively hardy. The breed overall, is a very healthy one.

When choosing a dog for one’s family, there are many factors a person should consider that they may not. Often times, it is tempting as for a person and their family to go to a pet store and simply got the cutest puppy. However, this method does not necessarily the best, as you may not know what that puppy will grow into.
