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.

People who own the Bolognese dog love their full, fluffy white locks and their being hypoallergenic as not to start any sneezing. But how can owners get to cuddle their pets if they simply do not come when asked or commanded to? Teaching a Bolognese should be easy for they are smart and eager to please their owners. Here are a few things one can do.

Have the Bolognese on a leash and have him sit around 3 feet in front. Owners can slightly bend their knees and spread their arms and say COME. If he does come, give a reward and praise. If he doesn’t, a sharp clap should grab his attention and start with the command again. Do this by slowly increasing the distance between the dog and owner. Later on owners can move backwards while the dog is approaching. However, if the dog starts to swerve away, a tug on the leash should be done and movement towards the opposite direction to get them back on track. Patience and consistency are needed in all kinds of teaching or training.

Looking for a Bolognese for your home? Well, if you’re new at finding a canine companion then you may have to step on the brakes a bit and know more about the breed before setting out on an impulse buy. There are both good breeders and bad breeders out there and only the good and reliable ones are dedicated to developing a quality Bolognese by accurately following the standard defined by a governing purebred body, group or club. For example: a purebred Bolognese has a white coat that is soft and wooly and can grow 3 to 4 inches, with loose, open ringlets that give it a cuddly look. They have no undercoat and are considered to be hypoallergenic. Although small, they have muscled and well compacted bodies and stand about 10.5 to 12 inches. Here are some red flags and go signals for prospective buyers to keep an eye out for:

Who said dogs don’t sit like humans? Just look at this cute Bolognese pup to see they do!

Like any responsible owner, it would be a shock to follow muddy paw prints on the floor to discover that the beautiful, silky and curly white coat of the Bolognese was covered with mud from having too much fun outdoors.

If the Bolognese was brushed since it was a puppy, then it would be used to being groomed and it shouldn’t be much of a hassle holding them in one place. Brushing the Bolognese should be done twice a week at the least with a bristle brush and a fine metal comb afterwards to separate the hairs to make it flow nicely.
Bathing should be done once a month but also wash them down if they get too dirty from outdoor activities. Use warm water, shampoo and lather well. Drying would be best by using a towel and running the hands through the coat while blow drying. Then brush and comb for the final touch!
Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

Having a Bolognese is having a true companion. These dogs crave to be at their family’s side and spend time with people. Known to have a comical side as well, they are a joy to have. Or are they? If owners enjoy a dog that is small, compact and sturdy, portable then a Bolognese is the right choice. They also have a long life expectancy and they are very well behaved with other dogs.

Also being a minimal shedder and dander ranks them up high with allergic dog lovers. However, one must consider taking a huge pinch of salt with those qualities. Owners must also consider that the Bolognese have destructive tendencies when left alone. This is their form of separation anxiety. Incessant barking is also a trait that can irritate neighbors. Although they are hypoallergenic, constant brushing must be done and you will need a huge amount of patience for housebreaking. Lastly, this dog isn’t quite easy to find or pay for. Waiting list can be long and price tags are extreme for this breed.
Why take your dog to the vet if you can give it a check-up yourself?

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 wont 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.
