Do Havaton Shed?

These dogs rarely shed. When they do lose hair, it is typically caught by the outer coat instead of falling straight to the ground. While a dog that doesn't shed may sound like music to your ears, this does not mean that Havanese don't require much grooming.

Why you shouldn't get a Havanese?

Havanese are very people-oriented dogs, love snuggling in laps, and can be overly dependent -- they don't do well at all when left for long periods of time without companionship. "Not doing well" means unhappiness and boredom, which they may try to vent through barking and destructive chewing.

Do Havanese dogs bark a lot?

Havanese are pretty quiet dogs, actually. They hardly bark, whine, mutter, grumble, growl or squeak! They will announce an arrival to the home, not just strangers but once you are in and properly greeted, it is over.
