Say “ciao!” to the Bolognese, a gentle, affectionate, and delightfully fluffy little pup from Italy. With their cotton-ball coats, soulful eyes, and snuggly personalities, Bolognese dogs were once favored by Italian aristocrats—and it’s easy to see why. These loyal lapdogs live for companionship, belly rubs, and cozy afternoons at your side. If you’re looking for a calm, velcro-like, and adorable dog, the Bolognese might be your perfect match.
✅ Loving & Loyal: They bond very closely with their humans and love to follow you around like a fluffy shadow.
✅ Calm & Content: Unlike many toy breeds, Bolognese dogs are quiet, mellow, and enjoy a slower pace.
✅ Hypoallergenic Fluff: Their beautiful white coats are low-shedding, but need regular brushing to stay cloud-like.
✅ Smart but Not Pushy: They love to learn but aren’t overly demanding or high-strung.
🐾 The breed dates back to ancient Rome and was a favorite of nobles and royalty, including Catherine the Great.
🐾 They’re part of the Bichon family, cousins to the Bichon Frise and Maltese.
🐾 Known for being great travel companions, they’re small enough for your lap but big enough to fill your heart.
This gentle, affectionate, and low-energy breed is perfect for someone who wants a sweet, snuggly, and devoted companion. They do best in calm homes with lots of love and attention and are especially great for seniors or families looking for a relaxed pet. If you want a lap warmer with royal roots and a heart of gold, the Bolognese might be your perfect fit.
