Bolognese Puppies Blog

I had to relocate to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates because of my  job in 2004 – god it was a long time ago. My wife and I had no children yet, and we always wanted to own a dog. Even though Dubai is not especially dog friendly, as dogs are banned from most public parks, we didn’t get discouraged and started looking for a puppy.

We weren’t even sure what breed we wanted, all we knew was that we wanted a small dog that will do all right in the Dubai climate. We started looking on classified ad sites, but most of the ads seemed very unreliable even scam suspicious. We would have looked for local breeders, but found none in the area. Next we went to local pet stores, but what we found there wasn’t exactly pleasing.

In the end, we were referred to a Bolognese breeder in Hungary by a friend. The breeder seemed very helpful and reliable so we decided to buy one of his puppies. Arranging the shipping and dealing with all the red tape was an ordeal. If I wanted to import a dog to Dubai, I’d never do it myself again. At the time, there were few companies offering pet relocation but now there are puppy finder companies offering puppies for sale to Dubai. I even found a page on facebook trying to help people looking for a puppy in Dubai.

Our Bolognese, Carlos is now 4 years old, and even though getting him wasn’t easy, he’s filled our lives with joy.

Best wishes to every Bolognese owner!

If you are an owner of a Bolognese, then you should know that this breed of dog loves to go for a walk on a daily basis. When you are out for a walk with your Bolognese pet, isn’t it great to look good wearing the Bolognese “Attack of the Killer Bologneses” Hoodie ? Some pet owners try to show their love and affection for their pets in every way they could possibly do, so if you are one of them, then this is definitely for you. Just like the Bolognese’s coat which is soft and fluffy, this hoodie is made of 100% cotton and can give you the most comfortable feeling while wearing it, just like how you feel when you are with your pet. Although most of the time, a Bolognese dog comes in white, this hoodie is brown and comes in different sizes unlike the Bolognese pet who is naturally small in stature. You will definitely enjoy this hoodie just like how you enjoy your Bolognese’s fluffy coat.

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a BOLOGNESE or a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.
