Dakota is a Havapooshon from Powell, Ohio and graduate of Homestead Dogs Puppy Obedience & Socialization Training Camp. Darling, Dakota!
Havanese
Havanese are another aristocratic small dog with a riches-to-rags-to-riches story.
Descendant from the French Bichon Frise breed, Havanese have all the entertaining skills of their predecessors and were born to all the best homes the country had to offer. And life was great until the inevitable social upheaval overthrows the government.
But this dog tale didn’t occur overseas. Havanese hail from just off the United States’ shores in Cuba. Soon after its discovery, Spain began to colonize Cuba. Trade routes ensued and, mixed with a little Tenerife and possibly Poodle, and the island of Cuba was cooking up a future national dog.
Havanese did make their way to Europe and were quite popular in many ruler’s castles. But, in the Western Hemisphere, Cuba was getting restive and before Castro’s overthrow of the government, many leaders fled to the United States with their Havanese in tow. Within a few years, American’s had fallen in love with the breed and became one of the more popular dogs in the states.
Dog Train-ability Grade: B-
Havanese respond very well to dog training but can be a little sensitive. As with most breeds, positive, fun reinforcement generates the best results.
For more information on the Havanese dog breed, visit The American Kennel Club and the Havanese Club of America.
Poodle
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
With its regal appearance and fancy hairdo, at first glance the Poodle appears to be the breed destined for luxery with the nobles. That would be an underestimation.
Commonly associated with France (it is their national dog!), the Poodle lineage began over 400 years ago as a retrieving water dog in Germany. The Poodle is very athletic, an amazing swimmer, super-smart and has an acute sense of smell. It is the only non-sporting dog eligible for the AKC Retriever Hunting Tests and available in small, medium and large! (Standard, Miniature and Toy)
While it’s looks imply a super-model style regimen, the regal look has a purpose. The German duck hunters established this style to accentuate its natural swimming abilities. The legs, neck and tail were shaved for greater range of movement in the water. Un-shaved areas were meant to protect vital joints and organs from inclement weather.
Trainability Grade: B+
Eager to please and highly intelligent, Poodles are easily trained. Poodles love learning new things and enjoy agility, obedience and tracking exercises.

Bichon Frise
If there was a cute-o-meter for dogs, this breed might break it.
Playful, curious and intelligent, Bichon Frises make great family and city dogs. They feature a plush, all white hypoallergenic coat and easily adapt to other people, children, other dogs and anyone else they can find to perform, play and entertain. Highly alert, Bichon Frises make great little watchdogs.
Generally very healthy, Bichon Frise’s coat, ears and teeth require regular maintenance.
Bichon Frises were another breed with aristocratic roots in southwestern Europe palaces with references dating back to the 13th century. During the French Revolution, many became homeless as opposed to joining their owners at the guillotine. Street entertainers learned to utilize the enthusiastic performers to enhance their routines and would later become equally prized as circus dogs.
Trainability Grade: B-
Highly intelligent, Bichon Frises are not only easily trained, they enjoy learning and performing new tricks. The only training issue they seem to struggle with is house breaking. They do not like to be left alone for long periods of time and undesirable behaviors are commonly associated with separation anxiety.
