A Bolognese is a Perfect, Little Companion Dog - Even If it Does Sound Like Cheap Lunch Meat

No, the Bolognese is not a cheap lunch meat or a saucy Italian pasta dish.

It is a gentle, sensitive and affectionate little pooch that is ideal for a family home in the city or suburbs. Whether you are a family with young children or a senior, this is a good companion dog for you.

Dog Collars

Bolognese are eager to please and usually learn most tasks very quickly. Trainers report that they do well in obedience classes.

The Bolognese really enjoys playing with children and even gets along well with other pets.

Appearance and Life Span

The bolognese has a long, soft coat that hangs in curly tufts -- but "puffs" out away from the body giving it a round, sturdy look.

However, most of them weigh only 5 to 9 pounds.

They stand about as tall as a typical house cat (10 to 12 inches) can expect to enjoy life for 14 to 15 years.

Grooming and Exercise

The Bolognese does require daily brushing and grooming to maintain it's soft coat. It get matted and dirty very easily.

It will also need a couple long walks a day and perhaps some vigorous playtime to stay healthy and fit.

Origins and Health Concerns

The Bolognese can trace it's ancestry back further than you (though they probably can't name names) -- to the 13th century. It was a favorite of the wealthy and elite of Renaissance Italy. Perhaps you will own a dog descended from one owned by Prince Machiavelli or Leonardo da Vinci. You never know.

Marco! Bolo! Heh... Just thought of that.;-)

The ASPCA cautions that the Bolognese does not take well to being left along for long periods. Even a typical 8 hour work day may be too much and working families may want to consider a different pet.
