Havanese Training Problems?
Havanese Behavior Problems?
I think all of those dogs are extremely cute however I am going to advise you stay away from Hybrids they often come from puppy mills and you end up having more work for yourself. Its true you might come along a dependable breeder of them every once and a while but usually not.
That still leaves you Toy Poodle Shih tzu and Havanese.
Toy Poodles are intelligent highly responsive, and are said to be one of the most trainable breeds. Keep in mind this active little dog, will need a daily walk.They would also enjoy a safe open area off lead, like a large fenced in yard.
Shih Tzus take consistent and patient training so it may take a little longer for them to catch on.The Shih Tzu need a daily walk.They too would also enjoy a large fenced in yard. You have to be careful not to over feed this breed or it will quickly become fat.
Havanese are companion dogs responsive, very affectionate and playful with a high degree of intelligence. They are easy to obedience train. It is very sensitive to the tone of your voice. Harsh words will only upset the dog and will achieve very little. They need a firm, confident, consistent owner, but not a harsh one. The Havanese have a long reputation of being circus dogs, because it learns quickly and enjoys doing things for people. Havanese have an average exercise demand.
I personaly love Havanese I think they are sooo cute!
If you are planning on investing in one of these breeds (the goldendoodle, the cockapoo, Maltipoo really any of the -doodles or the -poos), I guess that’s your prerogative, but please just hear me out first.
What is This New Fad?
If, somehow, you have missed it, there’s a new trend in celebrity dog ownership: strang, unnatural crosses of unhealthy dogs that people pay thousands of dollars to own. They call them “designer dogs.”
Look at these Amazon links to the left! There are books now about these popular dog “breeds,” describing their temperaments and how to raise them. Again with the wanting to smack people. These animals are not a new breed; they are mutts! Accidents!
Now, I’m all for the owning of mutts. I, myself, have never had anything else. But to breed (that is, intentionally) is to choose two champion animals with a high quality of various traits and to test the parents for congenital diseases. Puggle, labradoodle, pekepoo, or any other cutesie-named dog breeders are not doing this. They are picking cute animals and forcing them to breed beyond their capacity. They are not breeding to “improve the breed.” They are breeding solely to make money, and that poses problems for the animals and for their owners.
The PUREBRED toy POODLE would be the easiest to train
The following would be the PUREBRED HAVANANESE.
CUTE IS NOT A VALID REASON TO BASE A BREED CHOICE ON!
Unsuspecting people will believe the lies that these breeders say. These “one of a kind” dogs are no more “rare and exotic” than any other mutt and mixed breed in the shelters today. They are simply mixed breed dogs, that people made up fancy names for. Naming these dogs is simply a way to sell puppy-mill dogs and backyard accidents for an inflated price by duping the uneducated buyer into believing he is acquiring a purebred dog. You may find a truly “unusual” designer mutt, such as a “Box-a-Shiht” (Boxer/Shih Tzu) or “Bull-Shiht” (Bulldog/Shih Tsu)
We have been responsible breeders of Bass-A-Poos for four years.” The term “responsible” is getting a lot of mileage these days. Almost every breeder claims to be “responsible.” The dictionary defines responsible as “trustworthy and dependable.” How dependable is a breeder who plays imaginative “what if?” games with his dogs and expects the public to pay for his experiments? How trustworthy is a breeder who deliberately misleads people about the value of a mutt? I think you can answer that question for yourself.
Truly responsible breeders are honest and knowledgeable with a strict code of personal ethics. They care about the puppies they produce and the people who’ll buy them. Would a responsible breeder deliberately cross a Basset Hound and a Poodle — dogs with completely different and potentially incompatible physical structures and temperaments? Would they deliberately mix any breeds? No, not when they know the results will be completely unpredictable and that there are already thousands of accidentally-bred mixed breed dogs in need of good homes.
Don’t be fooled by the whimsical names, the intriguing descriptions, and the high prices! It’s just a lot of poo. You can find “designer dogs” of every size, shape, color and personality as close as your local humane society or rescue service and at a far more reasonable cost. Why not visit there first and save a life? You’ll be glad you did!
Does this mean that all producer of mixes are unscrupulous and deceitful? No, many of them are simply ignorant of responsible breeding practices and unaware of what they’re really doing. Both the deceitful and the ignorant, though, prey on the ignorance of the public. Once people know the truth about these breeders and pets, people will start adopting instead of buying and the breeders will stop breeding. It is simple supply and demand.
There’s no doubt that mixed can make wonderful pets. Thousands of people own and love mixed breed dogs of every description. But are these unusual mixes really valuable, unique, “designer dogs”? No, not any more so than the many wonderful mixed breeds available for adoption at the local animal shelter.
Don’t be fooled by the cute names, “one of a kind” titles, and the high prices! You can find “designer dogs” of every size, shape, color and personality as close as your local humane society or rescue service and at a far more reasonable cost. Why not go there first and save a life? You’ll be glad you did!
Why purposely breed cute puppies when some are already going to die because they can’t find homes.
Mixed-up-Mutts is a site deticated to responsible pet care. Although I believe mixed breeds are the best pets out there, I do not believe that they should be purposely bred. This is the page that demonstrates the reasons why breeding mixed breeds is irresponsible.
None, of those dogs are cuter than the other. All puppies are cute. It doesn’t matter which one is easier to train, they all are the same to me, it’s how you train them, and your techniques. Getting a dog for looks and not quality are the reason that people support puppy mills, back yard breeders and greeders.
maltipoo or shihpoo…read these sites and you will know why…http://www.islanddog.org/pureormixedbree…http://www.zootoo.com/petnews/studyfinds…http://www.epetarticles.com/dog-breeds-p…
toy poodle and shih-tzu/poodle. poodles are great dogs and are supposed to be smart.
if you get a dog, get it from a shelter, not a pet store. pet stores can have dogs from puppy mills =’[
I have a maltipoo. THEY ARE VICIOUS. Go with a bigger dog.
None of them are cute, I can’t stand little yappy dogs. Some of these are pics of dogs that were posted earlier this morning, so why again?
i agree with kelli h.
by the way, all toy dogs are now classified as Rodents. so this question belongs in the Rodents section.
