About the Breed
The Havachon, also recognized as the Bichonhavanese and Frise Havanese is a designer cross dog breed between the Havanese and the Bichon Frise. Although there is little known about the origin of this hybrid dog cutie, what we do know is that both parent breeds are descendants of the ancient Barbichon group making these puppies ideal companions 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.
Their coats can be kept long or short. Shorter coats will require less frequent grooming. For a longer coat, brushing 3 to 4 days a week is 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. They are very alert and make good watchdogs.
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 excellent watchdogs. 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 either in a fenced-in area or space within the home that allows them room to romp around freely. It is also recommended that Havachon owners keep their sweet dogs on a daily walking routine to avoid any health issues developing from lack of exercise.
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 bit of praise and recognition. But do be careful, too much overindulgence 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.
