Havapoo Grooming Notes

Havapoos have some of the softest, most touchable coats in the designer breed world. The Havanese silky, lightweight coat blends beautifully with Poodle curls to create a coat that is both low-shedding and pleasant to handle. Grooming-wise, they fall in the moderate category: brush 2-3 times per week, professional grooming every 5-7 weeks. The coat can be kept in a natural, slightly longer Havanese style or trimmed into standard doodle cuts. Havapoos are typically excellent grooming clients, inheriting the Havanese friendly, cooperative personality. They were literally bred to be companions, and they tend to enjoy the one-on-one attention of a grooming session.
