The Havachon, also recognized as the Bichonhavanese and Frise Havanese is a designer cross breed between the Havanese and the Bichon Frise. With little known about the origin of this hybrid cutie, what we do know is both parent breeds are descendants of the ancient Barbichon group making these puppies ideal companion and lap dogs.
Appearance and Grooming
Their coats vary in texture and waviness depending on which parent breed they take after most. Regardless of the parent breed you can be assured that they will have expressive dark eyes with a black nose and tails that curl upwards toward their backs. Their double hypoallergenic coats are shown in white, cream, grey, black, brown, silver and blue. Brushing 3 to 4 days a week in encouraged to keep them from getting tangled and matted. Also regular trimmings and nail clippings should be every 6 to 8 weeks.
Temperament
The Havachon is an extremely playful and comical little pup that absolutely loves to entertain. They can be considered a class clown of sorts. These dogs are very trusting and loyal and adore being surrounded by family and loved ones.
Family and Companionship
This sweet puppy is extremely family oriented and is suitable perfectly for first time dog owners. Sociable in nature they get along with children and other family pets. They are very alert to unusual noises and strangers, which makes them an excellent watch dog. Though they have a bit of a stubborn and independent streak, they do not like to be alone. These pooches adapt well to any indoor living environment as long as they are socialized well at an early age.
Exercise
The Havachon will be happy in any activity as long as they are right by your side. It is recommended that they receive daily 30 to 40 minute walks and ample free time to play with their toys in either in a fenced in area or space within the home that allows them room to romp around freely.
Training and Socialization
These dogs have independent tendencies, making it crucial for them to be trained properly at a young age. Their intelligence makes training easier if using a rewards based program with a little of praise and recognition. But do be careful, too much over indulgence and these witty little pooches can be training you. Early socialization will assure that your new puppy is introduced to new sights, sounds and people that will ease any anxiety that may form within this breed in later years.

My family lost our fur baby tragically after having her for 10 years. We were all so hurt and wanted another fur baby badly. We did our research and came across Premier Pups, and fell in love with our new fur baby Renamed Bella Chanel (Siesta) she is a sassy havachon (Havanese mixed with Bichon Frise). She has brought us so much joy! We love her to pieces! ?? She is currently 12 weeks, she is happy and healthy. Our experience with premier was very professional, I would certainly work with them again in the future!

My family has nothing but positive things to say about the people at Premier Pups; we cannot thank them enough. When we picked up Teddy and Laney, they each came with a bag of supplies (food, medicine, and directions); it helped greatly with the transition. The follow-up care was also amazing. They truly care about the well-being of our puppies, even after coming home. All of our questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner prior to bringing them home. We worked closely with Dan and he made everything within our process as smooth as possible. I would gladly adopt from Premier Pups again in the future and highly recommend them to friends and family. Teddy (Havachon) and Laney (Teddy Bear) are truly little bundles of joy. Our little nuggets already have such a strong bond and connection, acting like brother and sister. They are always found napping and playing together. They are sweet in temperament, but also playful bounding around the house. It is so fun having young puppies in the house again.
