The Bolognese, often called the Bolo or Bolognese Bichon, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Bolognese is an ancient toy breed with roots that trace back to Italy as early as the 11th century, where it was developed as a companion dog for aristocrats and nobility. Named after the city of Bologna, this breed is part of the Bichon family of small white dogs and is closely related to breeds like the Maltese and Bichon Frisé. Highly prized for their charming appearance, affectionate nature, and dignified demeanor, Bolognese dogs were often gifted between European royal families—earning them a reputation as dogs of the elite. During the Renaissance, the Bolognese was especially popular among Italian and French nobility. Notable historical figures such as Catherine the Great of Russia, Maria Theresa of Austria, and Madame de Pompadour are known to have owned and adored Bolognese dogs. These little white companions often appear in artwork from the period, symbolizing refinement and social status. Despite their noble legacy, the breed’s popularity declined after the fall of European monarchies, and it became rare by the 20th century. Fortunately, dedicated breeders in Europe—particularly in Italy—worked to preserve the Bolognese, and the breed saw a resurgence in interest. Today, the Bolognese remains a relatively rare but beloved companion dog, known for its calm personality, intelligence, and close bond with its human family.
