The Havanese is classified by The Royal Kennel Club within the smaller ageing band, typically weighing 4.5–7.3 kg as an adult. Cuba's only native dog breed, the Havanese has a long, silky coat and a cheerful, affectionate temperament, making it one of the most popular small companion breeds worldwide.
What this means for your Havanese
Patellar luxation (a slipping kneecap) is occasionally seen in the breed, so any hopping or skipping gait is worth a vet check. Otherwise, the Havanese is generally considered one of the healthier small companion breeds, with good longevity commonly reported.
The long, silky coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting, particularly around the ears and legs, and this becomes even more important if grooming ability declines with age.
When is a Havanese considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, small breeds like the Havanese are generally considered senior from around 10 dog years old.
