Product Description
Product Description
From the precious cargo of seafaring Mediterranean tradesmen, to an enchanting fashion accessory of the European aristocracy, to a rare and exotic pure-bred companion for 21st-century dog lovers, the Bolognese transports us with its distinctive loveliness and its affectionate character. The Italian edition of the bichon dogs, a family of small, cottony, predominantly white companion dogs, acquired its name from the city of Bologna and may be the rarest of all bichon-type dogs. Author Wolfgang Knorr, a bichon specialist from Germany, has written a fascinating account of the Bolognese breed in this book, the first full-colour English-language book ever published on the breed. Guest author, toy-dog expert Amy Fernandez, has provided an overview of the breed's introduction to the United States. This book also discusses the breed's character, its physical attributes and the breed standard. A thorough chapter on puppy selection, rearing and care offers owners reliable advice about these topics. New owners will also welcome the advice on house-training and obedience commands, as well as the sections on grooming, feeding, home safety and much more. A special chapter on preventative healthcare, written by renowned veterinarian Dr Lowell Ackerman, provides up-to-date, accurate information on inoculations, parasites, spaying/neutering and much more.

Bolognese ( Comprehensive Owner's Guide),
By
This review is from: Bolognese (Kennel Club Books (Numbered)) (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
An excellent book on a fascinating small non-shedding breed with a long European history.I particularly liked the large number of photographs. I have judged Bolognese for a number of years including at crufts 2009 and this book was an invaluble guide. These intelligent affectionate little dogs are just a bit different from their more well known cousins, the other members of the Bichon family but are much more natural in coat presentation. I thoroughly recommend the breed and currently I believe this informative book to be the first written. Richard Haynes Manchester UK

Bolognese Dogs - Breeding or as a pet,
By
This review is from: Bolognese (Kennel Club Books (Numbered)) (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
An essential book for the Bolognese dog owner - especially as it is the only reference book for this breed. Covers most of what you might need to know - a must to read before you purchase one of these expensive dogs - however, if you intend breeding then you may find it not quite comprehensive/indepth enough.

Good Book,
By
This review is from: Bolognese (Kennel Club Books (Numbered)) (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
This is the only book on the breed of Bolognese that I could find and is a good general guide. I am getting my puppy in a few weeks and have read it through once. No doubt I will be referring to it again over the coming months. Would recommend if you have this breed or are thinking of getting a puppy.
