What Dog Breed Is Best For Me - Part V

When considering what dog breed is best for you, a small or toy dog may fit into your lifestyle or living situation.

Here’s another dog breed you might be interested in if you’re trying to find the right dog for yourself or your family.

Havanese - The Affectionate Companion

The Havanese is a friendly toy dog that not only makes a wonderful family pet, it’s also an affectionate companion for those who have time spend with their dog.

The Havanese is noted for its beautiful long, silky coat which needs daily attention and comes in several colors including gold, cream, and black.

But, it’s not only its silky coat that makes the Havanese stand out as a good candidate for a loyal pet. It’s also a playful small dog breed that fits in well with children, adults, and other pets and is adaptable in virtually any living situation - from an apartment or a condo to a large home.

It also makes a good watchdog by warning its owners of anyone who approaches.

Havanese Dog Training

The Havanese is very bright and is easy to train. Like other dog breeds, it will display dog behavior problems including biting and separation anxiety if not trained properly. It’s a quick learner that responds quickly to positive Havanese Dog Training.

One of the endearing traits that makes the Havanese so likable is that it needs constant companionship and is perfectly suited for people who stay at home a lot.

Because of its sociable nature, the Havanese is not a dog breed that can be on its own for extended periods of time. It’s likely to suffer dog behavior problems including dog separation anxiety if left alone, which should be taken into consideration if you work outside of your home and there is no one home during the day to keep it company.

The Havanese is a long-lived dog breed with a life span ranging from 12 - 14 years which makes it an ideal pet for a family with growing children.

It’s also quite flexible when it comes to exercise - it burns off energy from playing (which is another reason why it’s a good choice if you have children) but, like most dogs, does benefit from regular exercise - even if it’s just a short walk around the neighborhood.

Buy from a reputable breeder and check for knee, eye, thyroid, and liver problems in particular.

Affectionate, devoted, playful, with a friendly temperament are a plus. Frequent grooming and possible medical conditions - some of which could be inherited - could be a minus.

With proper training, the Havanese can be one of the best, well-behaved dogs to own.
