More About The Breed
This is a highly adaptable dog breed. Due to their small size and temperament, they are a good fit for smaller apartments and larger homes. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to extreme heat or cold. If you live in a climate with cold winters, you will likely need to put some layers on your Havapoo to help keep them warm, but they will have a ball playing for a short time in the snow. Because these dogs are truly a companion pet, they are happiest when they are around people, so they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time.
The Havapoo is a highly trainable designer dog breed. In general, they are highly intelligent, attentive, and sensitive. They can sometimes have a little bit of a stubborn streak, so novice owners should not be afraid to seek out obedience training classes. Due to their small size, housebreaking can also sometimes be a challenge.
Due to their intelligence and attentive nature, Havapoos tend to pick up on things quickly as long as they are engaged. Because they are sensitive, it’s important to keep training positive. They will take harsh tones and corrections personally and it may send them into a pout while also making training less effective overall.
In addition to their coats, their nails should also be trimmed monthly. Check their ears regularly making sure they are clean and infection-free. Small dogs are also most susceptible to dental disease and decay, so brush their teeth a few times per week to keep them nice and healthy.
