Reads as The Companion · Diplomat streak
The ghost job
Cuba's companion dog, bred for centuries to be a sociable, velcro family member and gentle friend.
What that means in your living room
A born people-reader. The Companion tracks and mirrors your mood; the Diplomat streak makes them warm with strangers and easy in a crowd.
Signs and colors are a pattern-language, not a truth claim — a creative vocabulary grounded in canine evolution, breed function, temperament, and owner-observed behavior. It is not a clinical diagnosis or a breed stereotype, and it does not claim every dog of a breed behaves the same way. The archetype belongs to the individual dog in front of you, read from behavior.
