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 Japanese Chin
