Havanese Puppies: The Perfect Pet For Families

By Fiona Kelly

If you live in a small house or apartment, but you really want to have a dog, then Havanese puppies may be an option you might want to consider. Typically standing less than a foot in height, the Havanese breed is a very small, compact dog that fares well in a smaller home environment. Loosely related to the Bichon Frise variety of dog, these small canines rarely exceed a weight of more than ten or fifteen pounds.

It is important that you understand that Havanese puppies are typically very energetic, however, and do require quite a bit of exercise. If you are able to "baby proof" your home, this probably won't be a problem, as most Havanese puppies are just as happy to run laps around your living room as they are outside. If you are lucky enough to have a small yard that they can run in, it is important to make certain that it is enclosed as Havanese puppies love to run, and will take full advantage of any space they see.

The first thing you have to understand about Havanese puppies, is that they are very energetic and playful little dogs, as a general rule. Dogs that show signs of lethargy may be under nourished, and may require special attention before they begin to act like their normal selves.

Also, these dogs require quite a bit of love and affection, as they are by nature a fiercely loyal and affectionate dog breed. Any sign Havanese puppies may show of being leery of humans may be a sign that they have been mistreated.

The second thing that makes these little dogs so very popular amongst those living in small homes is that they are very affectionate, and are more than happy to curl up beside you on the sofa if you let them. With their small size, Havanese puppies are perfect lap dogs and they make wonderful companions for both children and the elderly alike. A Havanese is by its very nature an affectionate and loyal dog, and should be treated with the absolute utmost in care and affection.

Choosing the right puppy is a very simple process once you have ascertained that the Havanese puppies you are choosing from are healthy. The best way to choose Havanese puppies is to, if at all possible, visit the breeder's kennel or owner's home so that you can interact with the pups before you make a final decision.

If you are choosing a Havanese puppy for your child be sure to take them with you, so that you can see how each puppy interacts with them, as well.

These small dogs have fought and survived extinction, and are quickly proving to the world that what they may lack in size, they more than make up for in heart!
