Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Low

Havanese has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Energy

Moderate

Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.

Trainability

Very high

The Cocker Spaniel rates very high and the Havanese high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

High

Expect regular brushing and professional grooming every few weeks.

Temperament

The Cocker Spaniel is usually described as gentle, smart, happy. The Havanese as intelligent, outgoing, funny. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
