The Havanese is a small, long-haired dog that is often considered to be hypoallergenic. However, while they do not shed as much as some other breeds, they do still shed some hair. This means that if you are allergic to dog hair, you may still have some reactions around Havanese dogs. However, the amount of shedding is usually minimal, and with regular grooming, you can help to keep the amount of loose hair to a minimum.
