Bolognese History

The Bolognese was gifted to Belgium royalty in the 16th century and even
today, the Belgium bloodlines show excellent conformation and temperment as
evidenced by the famous little dog, Elaine, who was the first 1981 World Champion.

 The Bolognese became an almost extinct breed due in part to the passing of the nobility.
A few breeders both in Italy and Belgium have restored it to its present popularity.
