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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Positives 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. |
|
| Negatives The Bolognese may initially be somewhat reserved with strangers. |
