Breed Information
Overview
The Havashu is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between a Havanese and a Shih Tzu. 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).
The Havashu is a cross between a Havanese and a Shih Tzu. These little dogs are affectionate and bond closely with their families. They tend to make fantastic family companions.
Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable canine registries. American Canine Hybrid Club, Designer Dogs Kennel Club, Designer Breed Registry, and more all recognize the Havashu.
Temperament
Havashu are affectionate dogs that thrive on attention. They bond closely with their families and love nothing more than spending time with them. As long as they are well-socialized and trained, they tend to get along well with children, other dogs, and other pets.
They even tend to be open and friendly with strangers. They tend to alert bark on occasion, but do not tend to bark excessively unless they have been unintentionally trained into it. It’s not a bad idea to train your dog to stop barking early on, especially as you continue to socialize them, to keep barking from becoming a nuisance.
