The
Bolognese is a
breed of
dog that's a member of the
Bichon family of dogs.
Description
Appearance
The Bolognese is generally considered to be a companion dog. They are small, white, square, and compact with a distinctive single coat (for example no undercoat) which falls in loose open ringlets all over the body and have shorter hair on the face. The hair's texture is woolly, as opposed to silky and is never trimmed or clipped. The hair is non-shedding, but requires regular combing to prevent matting. The eyes are large and dark, as is the nose. These dogs are very intelligent and love the companionship of people but are often quite reserved with strangers, and whilst not yappy have acute hearing and will generally bark at strange noises. They are considered to be hypoallergenic.
Size
The Bolognese's height varies between 25--30 cm.
The Bolognese's weight varies between 4 & 5 kg. Some become bigger than that though.
Temperament
Generally somewhat less active than the Bichon Frise, the Bolognese is nevertheless a playful and friendly breed, which will form a close bond with its owner. It is also intelligent, easy to train, and eager to please, making it an ideal companion dog and family pet, although it may initially be somewhat reserved with strangers. They are good with children. Its life expectancy is 12-14 years.
History
A member of the bichon group of dogs, the Bolognese is thought to have descended from bichon-type dogs in southern
Italy, around the 11th or 12th century. Like the
Bichon Frisé, it became popular as a companion dog amongst the royal courts and nobility of
Spain, and other parts of
Europe from the 1500's to the early
19th century, and Bichons featured in several paintings by artists such as
Titian and
Goya.
