About havapoos
Havapoos is a cross between the Havanese and Miniature Poodles and is a fun-loving, tiny, people pleaser. These extroverted canines love to be the center of attention and snuggle up to their favorite person.
Havapoos are excellent watchdogs and adapt well to apartment living. They learn quickly and are allergy friendly and don't shed.
They are prone to barking and separation anxiety so they shouldn't be left alone for long periods of time and need regular exercise so they don't become destructive. They are cuddly and loving and have a great affinity for their owners.
havapoo Health
The Havapoo is a popular designer breed that combines the affectionate Havanese with the sharp-witted Poodle. While Havapoos are not a new hybrid they have steadily gained traction in popularity. As with any designer they are often considered a healthier option when compared to their purebred counterparts and have an estimated life expectancy of 10-14 years. Health data is still being collected on them so it is important to note they can still be predisposed to some of the same health issues as their foundation breeds. With proper care and yearly vet exams, the majority of Havapoos will live long and healthy lives. Your vet might also recommend running basic health screenings to diagnose or even rule out potential health risks.

havapoo Care
The Havapoo's coat needs extra attention to keep it from knotting and matting. Daily brushing makes it easier to release tangles.
They are moderately active so need daily exercise but as they are small dogs, they don't need to exercise for long.
Havapoos can be shy and prefer staying close to their owners to playing with other dogs or venturing out on their own. Expect to spend a lot of time with them!
