#5 Havanese
The Havanese, a small breed that is descended from the long-gone Bichon Tenerife and Blanquito de la Habana, is Cuba’s mascot. Its ancestor’s name translates as “the little white dog of Havana.”
The Havanese, sometimes known as the Havana Silk Dog, is a bichon-type dog. During the Cuban Revolution, the breed first arrived in the United States, and American breeders began to develop an interest in the Havanese. In 1996, the AKC approved the Havanese breed.
Despite being considered toy dogs, Havanese puppies may perform a wide range of jobs, including therapy, aid, and signaling, as well as tracking and detection. They are quite trainable and may participate in dog sports like flyball and obedience. They are also very energetic.
