Havaco Activity Requirements
The Havapoo is a cross between a Havanese and a Poodle. They are a medium-sized, high-energy dog that is smart, playful, and fun-loving. Havapoos were bred to be companion dogs and do best in a home where they are part of the family. They are best suited to homes with older children who will provide a consistent, loving environment. While your Havapoo may enjoy running around and playing, they also enjoy curling up on the couch with their family. They do well with gentle, patient children, but may be too rambunctious for younger children. Your Havapoo will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. They require 30-60 minutes of daily exercise, ideally in the form of a long walk or jog.
