The Havanese dog is a breed that came back from a crisis in the last century to become a popular family pet today.
This dog is especially popular in the United States, with some breeders still charging up to $1000 for a pup, despite
the fact that the Havanese dog is becoming more readily available today. The reason for their popularity is mainly in
their personality: Havanese are fiercely loyal, eternally playful and consistently cute entertainers. This makes them a
good choice as a family pet for many families, including those with children and other animals in the house. These
dogs are also quite brave, despite their small size, and can make excellent watch dogs. One of the best things about
this breed is the fact that they never seem to lose their zest for life that they have as puppies. You will rarely see a
grumpy adult Havanese dog, but you are likely to see one that is always ready to play.
The Havanese dog is characterized by a submissive temperament that is intelligent and eager to please his master.
Unfortunately for Havanese owners, this doesn't always mean that these dogs housebreak quickly and easily. In
fact, the opposite is often true, and Havanese tend to take longer to get through the process than other breeds. To
assist in the process, some breeders are now recommending the use of a litter box that contains a hard, cylindrical
paper pellet. This pellet can attract the dog to the box, encouraging the pup to use the box earlier and more often.
This has become a popular method of housebreaking a number of toy breeds, including the Havanese. Because this
dog has a lot of energy, a fenced back yard will allow him a safe place to run and play. He will also want to spend
plenty of time with his family, in play and cuddle time, so make sure you have the time to give him. A Havanese that
does not receive sufficient attention from him family may become destructive.
If you are looking for a new pet for your family, and you are hoping for a dog that will be easy to train and fun to
own, a Havanese puppy might be the
right choice for you. This dog is submissive by nature, eager to please, and intelligent to boot. He is generally a pup
that will always be ready to play with your family, and never lacking in energy. Often Havanese are natural
performers and your pup may entertain you frequently with his antics. He will be loyal and loveable, and despite his
small size, he may make a fairly effective watchdog. Most Havanese tend to be fearless, and even fierce when the
situation calls for it. If you are thinking that a Havanese puppy might be the right dog for you, there are plenty of
Havanese breeders available who can offer you one of these pups in good health and with good breeding. To find a
breeder, you can search online or ask friends or your veterinarian for recommendations. It is also a wise idea to
continue to research the breed, so that you can learn everything possible about the Havanese dog.
