Character//
Their temperament makes them an ideal companion breed, amiable and reserved but capable of forming a close bond with its owner. A Bolognese will happily play with children although they are a relatively docile breed in general. The Bolognese is an easily trained breed if the correct processes are followed and their happy character makes them eager to please

A small breed, the dogs should measure between 27-30cm with the bitches being slightly smaller at 25-28cm.
