Say “Hello” to La Havanese!
Mar 27
For our seventh post on our Deciding on a Puppy series, we are introducing the Havanese, Cuba’s national dog.
Havanese, meaning of Havana, are in the Bichon family and were developed in Cuba. They are unique among small dog breeds for having a more “sturdy” build and a “springy” gait. This springy gait, in particular, is a distinguishing quality. Havanese puppies for sale in Ohio come in many colors and color combinations. They have a double coat, but not a thick one, due to their being developed in a very warm climate. They have long hair that tends to be wavy or curly.
Havanese puppies for sale in Ohio are in the Toy category and will reach a mature height of 8-11 inches and weight of 7-15 lbs. Despite their short height and low weights, Havanese have a more sturdy build than most other small dogs. They have particularly strong legs. Like many small dogs, Havanese are low-shedders and can be a good fit for many people that are usually allergic to other dogs.
Havanese are highly trainable, intelligent, and love to please their owners. They are naturally very affectionate, cheerful, and social. They are an ideal small dog for not just families, but families with small children. Their social natures allow them to get along with many people as well as other pets. They would enjoy being a part of a multi-pet household. They are very friendly dogs and seldom bark at strangers.
Havanese puppies for sale in Ohio are very low-maintenance pets requiring minimal grooming and exercise. As they are highly intelligent, they respond well and easily to firm, consistent training. They are also much less prone to excessive barking than most small dog breeds. Most of their exercise can be achieved through indoor play, and they can do very well in an apartment or small home without a yard. Daily walks are recommended for regular exercise. They are also less “needy” than many small dogs and can be self-entertaining.
