Havapoo Breed Overview

Find the Perfect Havapoo Puppy for Your Family!

The Havapoo is a popular hybrid dog, combining the Havanese and Poodle to create a charming, often "teddy bear" or "forever puppy" look. These small dogs, typically weighing 7-15 pounds and standing 8-15 inches tall, boast a soft, wavy to curly, low-shedding, and often hypoallergenic coat in a wide array of colors. Their expressive eyes and floppy ears add to their endearing appeal.

Known for being highly affectionate, intelligent, and playful, Havapoos thrive on companionship and are eager to please, making them excellent for first-time dog owners. They adapt well to various living situations, including apartments, but do not tolerate being left alone for long periods due to their strong bond with humans; they can also be prone to barking if not trained. Their coat requires high-maintenance grooming, including daily brushing to prevent matting (many owners opt for a "puppy cut"), along with diligent ear and dental care. With a lifespan of 10-15 years, they can inherit health issues like patellar luxation, eye conditions, chondrodysplasia, and Addison's, making reputable breeder health screening crucial. They are ideal for those seeking a devoted, smart, and lively companion who can receive consistent grooming and abundant attention.
