ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE BOLOGNESE DOG BREED

Bolognese dogs are small, white, fluffy dogs that are very similar to Maltese and curly Bichons, but are still special and irresistible in their own way. I have the impression that they inherited the best genes from their ancestors. I will try to be objective and describe this breed of dogs in the best possible way because I have been living with them for a very long time.

ADVANTAGES OF THE BOLOGNESE DOG BREED:

DOGS THAT ARE SUITABLE FOR LIVING IN A SMALL APARTMENT

Bolognese dogs are small dogs that do not require a lot of living space. They will easily adapt to living in a small apartment and will not show any signs of needing more space.

SOCIAL DOGS

These little, white fluffy dogs are so sweet and affectionate that they constantly spread love around them. They enjoy the company of people, children, and other animals equally.

DOGS THAT GET ALONG WITH OTHER ANIMALS

Bolognese dogs get along very well with other pets, even cats, so you won't have a problem if you have a cat or plan to get one. They will establish friendly relationships with their natural enemy and continue to live together in peace and harmony 😊

A DOG THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE EXCESSIVE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Although they are lively and playful dogs, Bolognese dogs only need to run around the apartment to meet their daily activity needs. If you are active, a Bolognese dog will keep up with you.

DOGS THAT DO NOT SHED

One of the great advantages of this breed is that they do not shed. Their hair falls out very little, and if it is regularly brushed, there will be no hair in the apartment. Brushing is mandatory if you do not want to shave your dog because the hair that falls out sticks to the existing hair, which can lead to matted hair, especially around the paws.

These dogs are also suitable for people who are allergic to dog hair, and they can enjoy their company freely because these dogs have hypoallergenic hair.

EASY TO HANDLE DOG

Bolognese dogs are small dogs that you can easily carry in a bag wherever you go or travel. You can carry them in airplanes, trains, buses, banks, post offices...

INTELLIGENT DOG

It is incredible how intelligent this breed of dogs is and what they can learn. They are easy to train for many tricks, tasks, and commands. They are known as therapy dogs, and although they are small, they will learn to guard and protect their family and the space they live in without too much effort. They are real little live alarms. You will know when someone is coming before the doorbell rings.

DOGS THAT GET ALONG WELL WITH CHILDREN

Bolognese dogs love children, even small babies. They gladly take on the role of a nanny and carefully approach children of all ages. They have plenty of patience for children and will never harm them in any way. Children who grow up with a Bolognese dog will learn many lessons about responsibility, empathy, caring for others, and compassion.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE BOLOGNESE DOG BREED:

A DOG THAT STRUGGLES WITH SOLITUDE

The only significant flaw, or rather, a serious one, of this breed is that they have difficulty tolerating solitude. They are very social dogs and are too attached to the family they live with, so it is difficult for them to be left alone. They should not be left alone for more than three to four hours to avoid developing some form of anxious behavior. It will be helpful to leave a piece of clothing or slippers with the dog as their scent will associate them with your presence.

A DOG THAT IS EASILY SPOILED

It is difficult to resist these small dogs because they are so cute and affectionate, making them very easy to spoil. They are designed to provide unconditional love, but it is essential to set boundaries and start training from the beginning to prevent things from getting out of control.

A DOG THAT REQUIRES COAT CARE

Their white color, thickness, and length require regular care, including brushing and grooming, which is not necessary for this breed if you have time to maintain it.

Bolognese dogs have many more advantages than disadvantages. These dogs are not only small and cute, but they are also easy to train. They spread joy no matter what they do, so you will never be bored with these white fluffs. They easily fit into any lifestyle.

I hope this text has helped you choose a breed of dog for yourself, and I also hope that you have learned more about a breed that is unfairly neglected and not as widespread, although it certainly deserves to be.
