Summary
About Bolognese
The Bolognese is a small, sturdy Italian companion dog with a pure white, fluffy, non‑shedding coat that needs regular grooming. Calm, people‑focused and often strongly attached to one person, it suits apartments, needs modest exercise but high company and mental stimulation.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
