History

The Havapoo, or the Poodle-Havanese mix, is one of these mysterious designer dogs with an origin that is almost impossible to pinpoint. Apart from the high probability that these hybrids came to be sometime in the last 20 to 30 years and that they had their start in the United States, there’s not much we know about the history of the Havapoo

Care and Health

Because the Havapoo is a cross-bred designer dog, there is a chance of inheriting some health issues from either bloodline. Although there is a chance your dog may not have any of these problems, it could develop vision problems such as cataracts, as well as deafness, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, hypothyroidism, patellar luxation, hip dysplasia and some heart problems. In order to keep their fur silky-smooth and knot-free, it is recommended to brush them a few times a week and a bath every month or two. Nothing too taxing, but these pup’s still have coats that require love and care so that they look their best.
