Havanese Breed Profile & Growth Guide

Breed Overview

The Havanese is a charming and affectionate toy breed that originated in Cuba, where it was the beloved companion of the island’s aristocracy. Known for its silky, flowing coat and lively personality, the Havanese is a true companion dog. These little dogs are intelligent, playful, and highly social—often forming strong bonds with their families and getting along well with children and other pets.

The breed is adaptable to many living situations, including apartments, due to its small size and moderate exercise needs. Their eagerness to please and trainable nature make them a great choice for first-time dog owners. Despite their luxurious coat, Havanese shed very little and are often considered hypoallergenic.

Size Category: Small
Havanese are a small breed, typically weighing between 7 and 13 lbs at maturity and standing 8.5–11.5 inches tall. Growth tracking is particularly important for small breeds because they develop quickly, and it’s crucial to monitor their weight to prevent issues such as hypoglycemia, obesity, or growth-related joint problems—especially in the early months.

How Much Bigger Will My Havanese Puppy Get?

Havanese puppies grow rapidly in the first few months and reach close to their adult size well before their first birthday. Expect the following milestones:

• 50% of adult weight by 3 months
• 75% of adult weight by 5 months
• Full adult size by 8–10 months
• Minor filling out may continue up to 12 months

Rule of thumb:
Double your Havanese puppy’s weight at 12–16 weeks to get a rough adult weight estimate.

Exceptions:
Some puppies from larger lines or with slower metabolisms may continue gaining a little weight up to 12 months, but most Havanese will not grow significantly past 10 months.

Havanese Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feeding Schedule: 3–4 meals per day until 6 months, then shift to 2 meals per day.
• Use a high-quality small-breed puppy formula that supports rapid growth and helps prevent hypoglycemia.
• Avoid overfeeding—extra weight can strain their developing joints and contribute to obesity later in life.

Exercise

• Havanese puppies need moderate, safe activity like indoor play, short walks, and interactive games.
• Avoid high jumps or rough play that could injure their joints or small frames.
• Mental stimulation is just as important as physical activity for this intelligent breed.

Health Watch

• Patellar luxation (dislocated kneecap) is a common concern in toy breeds—maintaining a healthy weight reduces the risk.
• Dental health: Small breeds are prone to early dental issues, so begin brushing routines early.
• Hypoglycemia: Tiny puppies, especially under 12 weeks, can be prone to low blood sugar. Feed them regularly and monitor for signs of weakness or lethargy.
