The 25 Most Popular Dog Breeds In The United States

#23 HAVANESE

The Havanese, as you may have guessed, is the national dog of Cuba and is sometimes referred to as the “Havana Silk Dog”. These small dogs are known for their long, silky coat that comes in all colors.

They are a highly spirited breed that requires plenty of socialization and, therefore, also make great companions. The Havanese is said to have descended from the now extinct Blanquito de la Habana (“little white dog of Havana”) that itself was descended from another extinct breed, the Bichon Tenerife.
