Havanese and Herding: It All Goes Back to the Family Poultry Flock in Cuba

The Havanese: A small, sturdy dog of immense charm who herded the family poultry flocks in Cuba. That's right! Havanese are known to have some herding instinct so Cosmo and I put it to the test on our recent outing to The Canine Ranch in Canton, Ga.

Here, Cosmo tries his paw at sheep herding. Wonder how he'd react to a poultry flock?!



The Havanese is a small sturdy dog of immense charm. He is slightly longer than tall, and covered with a profuse mantle of untrimmed long, silky, wavy hair. His plumed tail is carried loosely curled over his rump. A native of Cuba, he has evolved over the centuries from the pampered lap-dog of the aristocracy into what he is today - the quintessential family pet of a people living on a small tropical island. His duties traditionally have been those of companion, watchdog, child’s playmate and herder of the family poultry flock.
Cosmo tried all sorts of new activities last weekend. Check out his lure course run here!

Happy Friday!
