Looking For A Pomeranian Puppy For Sale in Singapore? Learn how to care for them, and avoid these common mistakes!
Most definitely! A Havanese is one of those breeds that don’t require much exercise, they thrive in apartment settings and quickly get accustomed to the city life Singapore has.
FUN FACT: Our Havanese breeders bring the puppies from the countryside on city trips to get them used to city noises and even get trips to the mall!
Havanese aren’t just adorable—they’re packed with personality! Beyond their irresistibly shaggy look, they have a unique charm that makes them an excellent choice for a loving home in Singapore. They are affectionate, full of energy, and highly trainable, making them a joy to raise.
Often called the “Havana Silk Dog” due to their luxurious silky coat, they come in a variety of stunning colors, including parti-colors and tri-colors. Though they may seem abundant on social media, Havanese are actually a rare breed, not just in Singapore but worldwide. Their combination of intelligence, affectionate nature, and adaptability makes them a truly special companion!
Havanese are a relatively old breed that came from the Bichon family. They were originally Tenerife dogs that were brought to Cuba in the early 1500s by Spanish farmers and noblement. They then developed into Havanese in Cuba with little to no outside influence, later in Havana they were popularized by Europeans into a family pet when they discovered them while vacationing in the country. This adorable little dog quickly became popular among British, French and Spanish nobles.
When the Castro revolution hit Cuba, Cubans who fled to America brought with them 11 Havanese dogs who became the origin family of all the Havanese we see today!
A Havanese coat can either be straight or wavy, they have double coats that feel luxurious as silk. Unlike their Bichon cousins, Havanese come in a variety of colors ranging from gold, black, champagne or chocolate. You’ll even find combinations of colors in parti-colors and tri-colored Havanese, they are drop dead gorgeous!
Absolutely! Havanese are intelligent and eager to please, making them quick learners.
However, an intelligent pup may try to find easier ways to do things—puppy eyes and gentle begging can be very effective! While it may seem adorable, this is the time to be firm and consistent.
Training is a long-term commitment, and establishing clear rules ensures a well-behaved Havanese. You must enforce rules and establish who is in charge.
As puppies, their brains absorb information quickly, but their memory retention isn’t as strong. Consistency is crucial! Keep training sessions short and frequent, and your Havanese will master a variety of playful tricks in no time!
One of the first things you’ll want to do when bringing your new puppy home is setting up a pee tray next to their sleeping area in a playpen.
This setup is crucial for starting potty training. Puppies naturally avoid soiling their personal space and will learn that the pee tray is the correct spot.
Reward your pup with treats and praise when they pee and poop correctly! If they make mistakes, soak up a bit of their pee in a tissue and place it under the pee tray to help them recognize the right spot next time.
Patience and consistency are key! When paired with positive reinforcement, you’re already set up for success in their potty training. Have fun!
Havanese are lively dogs as much as they are cuddle bugs and require a well-balanced diet to stay healthy. Natural diets with minimal processed foods are best for long-term health.
Puppies’ nutritional needs are best met with kibble, as it provides essential micronutrients for growth. Once your dog reaches adulthood, you can consider switching to a home-cooked diet, but always consult your vet first!
Once a week, you can include home-cooked foods like chicken breast (protein), carrots & broccoli (vegetables), sweet potatoes (carbohydrates), and salmon (healthy oils for a shiny coat).
As a small breed, obesity and plaque build-up are serious concerns. Never overfeed kibbles or treats—follow recommended portions to keep them at a healthy weight. Dry kibbles also help maintain good oral health by reducing plaque.
Pro tip: Use 50% of their kibbles for training!
Havanese have undercoats that should never be shaved or cut. Once an undercoat is trimmed, their fur will grow back coarse and never the same, so always remind your groomer.
Grooming is an important issue to consider when getting a Havanese. They are great for allergy sufferers as they hardly shed—losing about the same amount of hair as a human—but this means they need regular brushing.
It’s important to get your Havanese used to daily brushing. Do it playfully and reward them with treats so it becomes a relaxing part of their routine.
Puppy fur is softer, but as your Havanese reaches two years old, their coat can mat more easily. Depending on their coat condition, brush daily or every two days and use detangling spray to loosen knots.
A two-sided pin or bristle brush works great with a detangling spray, both of which are easily available online or at pet stores. Happy brushing!
Comfort is key—pay attention to cues that indicate stress or discomfort. We hope these grooming tips help keep your Havanese fluffy and happy!
Just remember, overshowering can be just as harmful as not showering enough. Stripping natural oils can lead to itchy, dry skin in Singapore’s humid weather or cause excess oil production, leaving you with a greasy pup (yuck!).
When showering your Havanese, make sure to lather down to their skin for a fresh, clean coat. Introduce bathing positively—start from the bottom, work up to their head, and avoid spraying water directly on their face. Take breaks and offer treats to build a good association.
A Havanese’s silky coat needs brushing before and after their shower to prevent mats and achieve a beautiful blowout. Always ensure they are completely dry, as Singapore’s humidity can cause hot spots (ouch!).
Pro tip: Mix one part shampoo with two parts water in a squeezy bottle for easy application. Happy showering!
The nails of the Pomeranian should be clipped near to the quick, which is the blood supply and nerve that nourishes the nail.
Clipping their nails can be uncomfortable for them but it is not painful if the quick is untouched, just like human’s nails.
It is important to clip their nails twice a month as short as possible, or bring the puppy to the groomers for professional services.
You should brush your Havanese’s teeth 2-3 times a week to prevent build-up of tartar and prevent bad breath! Tartar builds up can lead to gingivitis (the early stages of periodontal gum disease). This will cause rotting and the falling out of their teeth if not caught early.
You can use a toothbrush or finger brush to clean your Havanese’s teeth. It is also important to get your vet to check their teeth and gums health regularly
Unethical breeding practices can often result in unhealthy puppies, as unscrupulous breeders may knowingly breed dogs with health issues to maximize profits by producing more puppies for sale. In contrast, Pet Me Please works exclusively with ethical breeders who test their dogs for over 200 known health conditions before breeding, ensuring you receive a healthy puppy free from genetic diseases.
Some of these health issues may seem daunting but this is not to scare you! We know you love your dog and want to keep you informed of the common Havanese are at risk for and hopefully tailor habits that can prevent future predictable risks!
This is a general consensus from veterinary practitioners and researchers, doesn’t mean that your dog will get them, it just means that there are more at risk for them that you should watch out for. Ultimately, we believe that sourcing from ethical breeders is the first step to giving your puppy a happy and healthy life!
This tends to affect smaller dog breeds like the Havanese. Dogs with this disease have insufficient blood supply to their femur, causing it to deteriorate. This can then make them prone to patellar luxation that happens when their kneecap dislocates. It can range from mild (causing small problems or arthritis as they age) to severe (that may require surgery to correct). Although genetic testing can be done, patellar luxation can present itself due to environmental factors. A few of the things you can do is to stop your dog from climbing stairs or jumping down from places at home like the sofa.
This can be screened for using a BAER test, a genetic test that our breeders perform on parents before breeding. There is no treatment but dogs can adapt to deafness better than humans can, the best thing to do is to source from ethical breeders!
Sourcing a Havanese from a reliable ethical breeder/pet shop in Singapore is the first step to giving you and your pup the assurance for a healthy and happy life.
Having pets is a huge responsibility and we do our best to make sure our pups are going to the right family to avoid more dogs in adoption centres or even being abandoned. It’s not all scary, here at PMP we do our best to help owners by arming them with knowledge so they can care for their new pup confidently.
