The Bolognese

T he Bolognese is a rare Italian breed dog.  It is estimated that there are less than 2,000 Bolognese in the entire United States.  It's history includes the courts of Europe where it was a beloved favorite of royalty.  Originally, the only way to attain a Bolognese was to receive one as a gift.  At some point, the breed fell out of popularity and because they were not wide spread the Bolognese world population dropped to dangerously low levels.

Lovers of this fine Italian dog breed both in Europe and here in the United States have worked diligently to re-establish this exceptional dog.

The F C I (World Canine Organization) has written the world standard for this fine breed.  This standard is upheld by Italy, the native land of the Bolognese, and many fine breeders here in the United States including member breeders of the Bichon Bolognese Association of America.

If you are interested in bringing one of these extraordinary creatures into your home, we will try and put you in touh with a breeder. Currently we have no litters planned.

Our Bolognese Male

R embrant, a proven Bolognese male, was fathered by the Belguim Champion Tabula Rasa Zepos.  (Zepos, the grandfather of our puppies, was born in Belgium and bred by Geraldine Vervoort VanPuyvelde).  Rembrandt brings an extremely amiable disposition to the breed, wears a continuous smile, and is the pet of our children.  Rembrandt has passed his CERF and Patella checks.

"There was a beautiful male in Holland, YOYO (NL-Ch Yoyo v 't Lierenhof), with a very square confirmation.  The result is in his great grandson, your Rembrandt."  --Johan Hesseltvan Dinter
