Perfect little doggy - Bolognese
This white little pile of coat and little teeth, is perfect little companion for every lonely lady and not so. The origins of the Bolognese comes from shiny Italy. The dog is from the Bichon type. The name comes from the place, and special from city – knowing Bologna. The Bolognese is a small, white, compact dog with a distinctive white single coat, kept as a companion dog. The eyes are large and dark, as is the nose. The height of the dog varies between 25 to 30 cm/10 to 12 in at the withers. Weight varies between 4 and 5 kg/9 to 11 lbs.

The distinctive single coat falls in loose open ringlets all over the body, with shorter hair on the face. The hair’s texture is woolly, as opposed to silky, and is never trimmed or clipped. The hair sheds very little, but requires regular combing to prevent matting.

The Bolognese often appears on lists of dogs that allegedly do not shed. However, such lists are misleading. Every hair in the dog coat grows from a hair follicle, which has a cycle of growing, then dying and being replaced by another follicle. When the follicle dies, the hair is shed. The length of time of the growing and shedding cycle varies by age and other factors. “There is no such thing as a nonshedding breed.” Frequent brushing and bathing, required to keep the Bolognese looking its best, reduces the amount of loose fur in the environment.
