Breed Information
Overview
The Havapoo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Havanese and Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and understand that you can get any combination of the characteristics found in either breed. This designer breed is recognized by ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club) as a Poovanese.
The Havapoo is a cross between a Havanese and a Poodle, usually a Miniature Poodle. They are sometimes also called a Poovanese, Havanoodle, or Hanadoodle. This small dog loves to be around people and is the epitome of a companion dog.
Although they are not recognized by the AKC because they are not a purebred dog, they are recognized by other dog registries. The Designer Dogs Kennel Club, American Canine Hybrid Club, Dog Registry of America, and more all recognize the Havapoo.
Temperament
The Havapoo is a social dog that loves people and attention. They are known for their loving and affectionate personalities and playful antics. Oftentimes, Havapoos retain a puppy-like demeanor all of their lives.
Because they tend to be open and friendly when well-socialized, they get along with children, other dogs, and other pets. Interactions between young kids and puppies should be closely supervised as these are small dogs that can be easily injured by accidental falls or rough play.
These traits make a Havapoo a good fit for single owners and any type of family. This also means they don’t make very good watchdogs as they are more interested in making friends, playing, and receiving attention than anything else. These little dogs may alert you with a bark if there is a stranger at the door, but they do not bark a lot unless they are trained into it.
