Havaneses for sale in Ohio

If you want a small dog with a relatively easygoing temperament, the Havanese might be right for you. The Havanese is from the ancient Bichon family of little white dogs and claims such breeds as the Bichon Frise and Maltese as probable common ancestors. These dogs tend to be great with children and other pets. The friendly and gentle personality of the Havanese makes them suitable for many types of homes, including apartments. Because of its silky coat type, routine grooming is an absolute necessity for the Havanese. Brush your dog often, at least once or twice per week. Your Havanese will need brushing more often if its coat is kept long. Many Havanese owners choose to keep a shorter coat, in which case haircuts may be necessary every few weeks. As a moderately active little dog, the Havanese should get daily exercise, but this breed does not need more than about half an hour per day. Routine walks and playing inside the house are usually enough to keep the Havanese happy and healthy.
