Papillon Havanese Mix
A Papillon Havanese mix is a cross between a Papillon and a Havanese. Most grow into toy-sized dogs of 6–12 lb and live 14–16 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Papillon Havanese Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Papillon Havanese Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 8–11 inches at the shoulder, against 8–11 in for the Papillon and 8.5–11.5 in for the Havanese.
Coat, energy and training
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.
Daily walks and some play are enough for most of these dogs.
The Papillon rates very high and the Havanese high; a puppy may lean either way.
Brush a couple of times a week.
Temperament
The Papillon is usually described as friendly, alert, 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.
