Character and temperament

Havanese are decidedly social. They gladly accompany their family through everyday life and accept changing environments with remarkable calm.

They learn through friendliness and motivation; harsh corrections unsettle them. With positive reinforcement they become reliable companions in a café as well as on a hiking trail.

They only become vocal when boredom or insecurity is added — we prevent both during the imprinting phase.

Grooming and husbandry

  • Without undercoat the silky hair mats more slowly, but still needs a thorough brushing session every other day.
  • Many owners choose a practical puppy cut; show length is not required for a healthy dog's life.
  • After walks in the rain, dry the belly and paws so no knots form.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Havanese like being left alone?

It is a companion dog and, after careful training, will stay alone for up to four hours. Full working days away do not suit this breed.
