All types of dogs - regardless of whether they are mixed, designer, or purebred - will possess various characteristics and traits that are indicative of their breed. In addition to appearance, these are the factors that primarily attract an individual to the dog. Prior to buying a Havanese Oregon, it could be to one's advantage to learn as much as possible about the tendencies and needs of these animals.

There are a lot of people who pick a dog simply based on how it looks. The main reason why this is an incredible mistake is that there may be some instinctual behaviors which could be incompatible with the lifestyle that the individual lives. The animal could also have health concerns or grooming needs that are beyond what the potential owner is capable of, or willing to meet.

This particular breed has only been recognized officially by the American Kennel Club since 1997. It has become the 23rd most popular breed of dog to own according to the AKC. Anyone getting one of these dogs with the intention of showing it in competition would need to adhere to a very strict grooming guidelines, though a completely different norm is used by those you own just for companionship.

As members of the Toy category, these dogs will be rather small. In adulthood they generally weigh around fourteen pounds and are typically about eleven inches high at the withers. Even though they are smaller in stature, they possess is sturdy build that allows them adaptability and durability.

Their grooming needs are relatively easy. For those that are intended for show competitions, their lightweight, silky, long, double coated fur must be smoothly brushed, the hair over their eyes pulled back into a simple elastic band, and the length left trimmed. Those who are intended as companions are generally cut into a style known as a puppy cut, as it is much simpler to maintain and avoid tangling and matting.

Some common characteristics include being very gentle, a bit energetic, highly intelligent, quiet, and incredibly social. They form unusually strong attachments to their family - focusing on one individual in particular - and require a lot of personalized attention. This need can become an issue for someone who will have be away from their dogs for several consecutive hours each day as they develop separation anxiety and might engage in destructive behavior.

As far as health concerns, this breed has very few to worry about though they may develop things like hip displacement or heart conditions in the later mature stages of life. To avoid problems with hearing, the hair that grows inside of their ears should be plucked out routinely. Fur can grow between the pads on their paws, which can also create issues, so it should be removed as necessary.

Even though the positive aspects of owning these dogs are many, potential owners also need to know about those factors which might be an issue. The individual must be prepared to make adjustments to attend the animal's social requirements, attention needs, and climate concerns. When one is very knowledgeable about their chosen breed before purchase, a lot of potential problems can be avoided.
