The Bolognese is a gentle, affectionate, and calm companion breed from Italy, cherished for its loyalty and sweet temperament. Known for their soft, fluffy, curly-white coat, they are low-shedding and a good choice for people with allergies—though their coat does require regular grooming to prevent matting. Training is typically easy, as they are intelligent and enjoy pleasing their people, but they may be shy with strangers, so early socialization is helpful. With low to medium energy levels, they enjoy short walks and lots of cuddles, making them ideal for quieter households.
