How to Choose your Havanese Puppy
The Havanese is a cute and compact dog, weighing in anywhere from seven to fifteen pounds and standing at a height of eight to eleven inches. This dog is generally sweet natured and eager to please, making it a good choice for most families. With its small size, these puppies can work well in an apartment as well as a house, as long as they are walked regularly. Because of its intelligence, the Havanese puppy will often be relatively easy to train.
However, like any pet, it is important to educate yourself about the requirements for care and training of the Havanese puppy before you make the final decision to add one to your family. Reading about the breed and talking to professional breeders and veterinarians will help you to decide whether the Havanese really is the best breed for you.
Once you have read a few articles and perhaps talked to a handful of Havanese experts, you are ready to continue with the process. So how do you find your Havanese puppy? Pet stores are not a good choice, since many of the animals that come into these retail outfits were originally bred in puppy mills ? places that are more interested in profit than in producing quality animals.
A reputable breeder is the best option in finding a Havanese puppy that will be healthy and a happy pet. To find a good breeder in your area, talk to other Havanese owners or your veterinarian.
Which do you choose? It will help to have a few ideas under your belt as to what you are looking for in your pet. Do you want a male or a female? Spunky or friendly? Once you have decided on some basic characteristics that you are looking for, ask your breeder to help you choose the perfect Havanese puppy for you.
So you’ve chosen your breed, found your breeder and selected your Havanese puppy. Now that adorable little creature needs a name. But which name will work the best for your dog? There are some guidelines that you can use to help determine the best title for your new puppy. First, find a name that is short and easy to pronounce.
Since these dogs originated in Havana, Cuba, you could go with a Spanish name like Diego or Pancho. You could also base your Havanese puppy name on his personality, like Spunky. Or you could simply go with the most popular name for Havanese puppies; Scruffy.
Training will be a process of bonding as much as establishing the rules of the house. With a bit of work and plenty of patience, you and your new pet will be able to enjoy each other for many years.
