There is much to understand in terms of caring for your Havanese puppy, including everything from their history to their grooming. The Havanese was not bred in the United States until about the 1970's and it wasn't until 1991 that the UKC recognized them. While the Havanese does make great show dogs, they are also wonderful house pets, ready to love and please the people around them.

Having the Havanese puppy cut makes for an easier time in brushing your dog, which in turn, makes the experience more of a pleasurable one. In order to keep the hassle that can come from long hair at bay, it is important to keep up on grooming so that disaster doesn't strike.

It is best to fully understand the different cuts for your puppy. With proper knowledge, you will have a happy, friendly, and well-trimmed dog for many years to come. But without, you could have a dog with matted hair, which ultimately leads to shaving. This is why the Havanese puppy cut is most preferred.

Many people miss the fact that good grooming habits for your dog start at the very beginning, from the moment you bring your puppy home. Is it important that you brush your dog at least 3 to 4 times a week even if they have the shorter Havanese puppy cut. For those who keep the hair on their puppy long, they will need brushing daily, although these are mostly people who enter their dogs into shows as this long hair look is required for them.

Even with the shorter cut, you will want to keep up regular brushings as this promotes new growth of hair. It also helps their skin and coat when you brush them as the natural oils that are produced are spread about. Grooming your Havanese will also allow you the chance to inspect your dog's skin condition. Whether there is a wound or fleas, these problems will need to be noticed quickly. With the Havanese puppy cut you will still want to brush them 3 or 4 times a week.

Knowing now that proper grooming is essential for a happy and well-trimmed dog, having the knowledge to actually achieve it is another thing. It is not hard at all but there are a few key tools that every owner of a Havanese should have on hand whether they have the Havanese puppy cut or not. Every house with a Havanese should have a flea comb, a pin brush, a small soft slicker brush, and or course a combination comb. With these tools, you will be able to keep your dog's Havanese puppy cut in top shape.

But how does one go about achieving the puppy cut? It is actually a lot simpler then most people think. The key thing is to leave the ears and tail fully feathered as this gives the playful feel to the overall cut. And the rest is cut down to about one inch.

These are just the basics to have on hand when you are ready to bring your Havanese into your home and life. Also, make sure you have your puppy on a stable table that has either a towel or mat on it to stop any slips or falls from happening.
