Which dog breed is right for you?
The Havanese — Cuba's only native breed — descended from the now-extinct Blanquito de la Habana and was the cherished lapdog of Havana's aristocracy for centuries before Cuban refugees brought them to America in the 1960s. Standing 8.5–11.5 inches tall and weighing 7–13 pounds, these small but sturdy dogs have a long, silky, lightweight coat that comes in every color imaginable — including white, cream, gold, black, silver, chocolate, and various parti-color combinations. Their coat is designed to insulate against tropical heat rather than cold, giving it a uniquely airy, flowing quality.
Havanese are cheerful, outgoing, and deeply people-oriented — natural entertainers who thrive on being the center of attention. They are remarkably adaptable and sociable, getting along effortlessly with children, other dogs, cats, and even strangers who receive a warm, tail-wagging welcome. Their playful, clownish nature and expressive faces make them exceptional companion dogs — they're sometimes called "velcro dogs" for their habit of following their owners everywhere.

The Weimaraner was developed in the early 19th century at the court of Weimar in Germany, where nobles bred these dogs to hunt large game — boar, bear, and deer — before transitioning them to bird dog duties as large game became scarce. These striking, athletic dogs stand 23 to 27 inches tall and weigh 55 to 90 pounds, with a sleek, powerful build designed for speed and endurance. Their distinctive short, smooth coat comes in shades of mouse-gray to silver-gray — earning them the nickname "Gray Ghost" — complemented by striking amber or blue-gray eyes.
Weimaraners are fearless, friendly, and intensely devoted to their families — they crave human companionship and do not do well as kennel or outdoor-only dogs. They are energetic and playful with children, generally sociable with other dogs, and possess an intelligence that demands both physical and mental outlets. Without adequate exercise and attention, Weimaraners become anxious, destructive, and can develop severe behavioral problems.
The "Gray Ghost" is a magnificent companion for the active and committed — discover Weimaraners on Puplister.
