Observations of the Bolognese breed, by Jennie Hegarty
Jennie Hegarty from Leatherhead in Surrey has told us what she has learned about Bolognese and in particular Fizz who arrived in her family a few months ago.
- They dance on their hind legs when happy
- They don’t just jump they prance like miniature deer
- They collect and wear all sorts of foliage which they entwine into their coat by the end of the walk
- They smile – they make me smile
- Fizz washes very delicately between my toes holding my foot down with her paw
- She is a danger to herself as she likes to be close to all the action therefore toenail cutting is a thing of the past (my toenails !) as she likes to put her nose too close to the nail scissors
- After I have cleaned her face, she takes a long drink of water, finds a mole hill and pushes her nose neatly into the soft moist earth deposited by the mole ensuring her face is nice and black covered in soil!
- She is very vocal and advises me once she has ‘wee’d’ on the carpet rather than before the event
- She is great fun and I believe rather clever…..

Very good at training their people
Can wrap you round their little paw
…..or is it just me!
Agreed – I think they train their humans most diligently to attend to their every need !
Hello Thank you for letting me join your club ,It took me quite a little while to find you 🤪
I am new to the bolognese breed and i am sure that you can help me out going forward!!
My little dog comes from Hungary and is just over 2years old and she has her older sister still over in Hungary
Hopefully going forward I would like her to be trained to be a show dog!
From what I have read so far you are a very friendly and informative club and have a lot to information that I am going to need to go forward with (j’)uli I also I love the idea of the meet ups
Again I thank you for accepting me
And May I wish you all the very best with your dogs and venture s in the future
