Let's not mince words: Grooming your Havanese is not about vanity—it's about health, comfort, and the bond that grooming can forge between you and your dog. Too often, grooming advice tiptoes around the edges, offering vanilla tips that barely scratch the surface of what's required. I'm here to plunge into the nitty-gritty, to deliver a no-nonsense, step-by-step guide that's as much about technique as it is about the unique camaraderie it builds. We're talking about a breed that's as much a cloud of fur as it is a dog, and that mane is a commitment, an art form, and, yes, sometimes, a battle.

Closely related to the Bichon Frise, the Havanese are a beautiful and playful little dog of the toy variety. These dogs have quickly gained in popularity at dog shows and competitions since the 1970s and the AKC has responded with a very specific set of guidelines relating to the way owners give their Havanese a haircut. Not only do these guidelines cover which hair should and should not be cut on your Havanese, but also how long the hair should be, as well as to what should be used to cut it with.  Havanese dogs are known for their soft, silky coats. However, their coats can quickly become matted and tangled if not groomed regularly. In this blog post, we will show you how to cut a Havanese dog's hair at home. 

Havanese puppies make a great addition to any family. Perhaps one of the most popular aspects of these toy dogs is their size. They have acquired a large fan base among families with young children. Also, Havanese pups get along extremely well with other animals, making them a great choice for families who already have dogs or cats.

When searching for Havanese puppies for sale, there are many things that every potential buyer should understand. The most important of which is the fact that the Havanese breed requires a certain amount of special attention as they were, until quite recently, an endangered breed. The original dogs, sometimes also called Bichon Havanais are thought to be completely extinct. But with a few dogs having been smuggled into the U.S. from Cuba in the early 1900's, the Havanese breed has gained in popularity over the last several years.

If you get the wrong dog for your situation then that is a bad thing for not only you but also for the dog. Before you go out and invest in a Havanese rescue dog you may want to take a look at some of the basic Havanese information. The Havanese dog usually gets about 29 centimeters in length and 6 kilograms in weight. That is hardly a big dog for you to flop around with so if a big floppy dog is what are you looking for then you may want to reconsider a Havanese rescue dog.

With Havanese puppies becoming so popular over the last forty years, there has been a rash of dishonest breeders popping up in an effort to make a profit on the ever increasing demand for these playful little pups. These dishonest breeders, otherwise known as puppy brokers, have little regard for the condition of the lives of their dogs. Instead they are only interested in how many pups they can churn out in a single breeding season.
