#13 That is why the Havanese is also the ideal companion and companion for older people who may no longer be able to exert themselves so physically.
However, the worst-case scenario for the Havanese (and probably every other dog too) is when another dog moves in. The Havanese finds the new addition particularly serious if he was previously the only dog or even the only pet in the family. Suddenly all the privileges have to be shared, the attention of the owner or family is not just for themselves, but also for the newcomer who is spreading everywhere and enjoying the welcome bonus. There is also less stroking and cuddling since the other dog also gets its share. And with the food, it could be that the intruder gets something better. In such a situation, even the most good-natured four-legged friend is not immune to suffering at least a small fit of jealousy from time to time.
#14 At least one long walk a day is a must, but it is also incredibly good for seniors, especially if it is really taken in all wind and weather.
It becomes more difficult when a new animal moves into the household. If there are already several animals living in the house, the newcomer is usually received even more indifferently. Especially if it is a canary or a rodent. Another dog is more critical – or a cat. The Havanese usually get along well with house tigers, but living together is less conflict-ridden when the cat was there first, which is less due to the dog's feelings than to the cat's. However, if the cat is a new addition, it can take a while before domestic peace really returns. The behaviors are so different that both have to get used to each other.
#15 If the Havanese gets enough exercise as a result, it will not necessarily insist on being played with extensively.
The friendly nature and easy-going nature of the Havanese not only extends to humans but usually to other animals as well. This applies to animals (mostly dogs) he meets on the street as well as animals living with him in the same household. At least he gets along with roommates who grew up with him or who have somehow always been there.
