There was an ancient breed called: ”Barbet”, which means ”with a beard”. The diminutive is Barbichon, which will actually lead to the breed Bichon. It was in 1860 that the Bolognese was recognized as a different breed within the Bichon group. Until then it existed as a variety of the Maltese, the only difference being the curled fur instead of the silky straight hair the Maltese have.

1️⃣. Give your dog their flea/tick prevention routinely.💊🐶

2️⃣. Vaccinate your dog for Lyme disease if they spend time in wooded areas or tall grass.💉🩹

Hi! My name is Fiona. I like to gather all the toys and take them back to “my” chair. Mama calls me Fi, FiFi, and little Miss Wiggle Butt. She says I am a sweet girl.

📜 When you look at a Bolognese, you should see a small, stocky dog with a squarish body covered in a long, fluffy white coat. He has a large black nose, dark round eyes and long ears that hang down. His tail curves over his back. Photo credit: Bob Shailer

Topic of the Month: ABC Did You Know?

🌍 Some Greek and Roman writers wrote about this small dog. Plinius called it: ‘Catulus Melitaeus’. Tombstones and vases with a small white dog and description ‘Melitae’ were found. Long time ago Melitae was the name for the island Malta.

🌍There was an ancient breed called: ”Barbet”, which means ”with a beard”. The diminutive is Barbichon, which will actually lead to the breed Bichon. It was in 1860 that the Bolognese was recognized as a different breed within the Bichon group. Until then it existed as a variety of the Maltese, the only difference being the curled fur instead of the silky straight hair the Maltese have.

🌍Another piece of history we know is that the Bolognese were used as rat killers on ships. This probably enabled them to spread around the world. Something must have changed their position because in the renaissance they became very valuable.

💚Babies are a tad over 5 weeks old. My husband and I have the same conversation every single day when I talk about Dobby. I am talking to the baby saying “oh little Dobby, Dobster, a little dob will do ya!” And he’s says “Brill Cream!” And I say “No it’s Dippity Do” His response is always “Oh yeah you are right”. I kid you not. It’s like he forgets from one day to the next. We must have had this exact conversation 5 times!🤭🤭
