Welcome to our Family!
We are a small hobby breeder with only a few dogs with which we breed puppies from time tot time. After owning our first Bolognese, preserving the breed and working in it’s best interest became a passion, almost an obsession. We do everything we can to keep our dogs healthy and in the best condition. Next to this we make sure they get enough attention. We give them our priority to give the dogs everything they deserve. Our dogs live with us in our home and in our hearts. We regularly go out on walks in the woods or on the beach and even on family vacations!
We have some dogs in guardian or foster homes. This way they can have a great pet life, while still contribute to the development of the breed. Especially because the breed is so rare, we have to be careful with our selection of dogs for breeding. Our dogs are tested on all known hereditary diseases in the breed before having a litter. Only healthy dogs, with a nice, breed typical character, head and body will be used.
After we added human children to our pack we had to focus on them in the weekend and we don’t go to shows often anymore. Nevertheless, dogs from our breeding are regularly being shown around the world and achieve great results, even on the biggest dog shows.
Dogs owned and bred by us have been very successful in the showring, while at the same time living a great life as a pet. Not just in the Netherlands, but all over Europe and even in Japan, Australia, Canada and the USA. Over the years they won many Championship titles including multiple International Champions, European Champions, World Champions and even Best of Breed at the prestigious Crufts Dog Show in the UK.
Our primary goal is to preserve this precious breed! We try to achieve this by cooperation with other breed fanatics, with doing endless research, with keep priorities straight, diving into history and focusing on the breed standard and staying up to date with all developments.
Introduction to the Breed
I would like to introduce to you this special breed, the Bolognese.
The Bolognese is a very rare breed, which is a pity. There are only a few breeders around the world. It is a beautiful breed and I can’t wait until more people discover it. They are smart, sweet, affectionate, fluffy but with a big personality. Sounds like the perfect dog, right?
On this website you will find a breed description, history, information about our dogs, puppies and much more!
The Little White Wonder kennel is FCI recognized since 2005. We are member of the recognized breed clubs in the Netherlands the United Kingdom and the United States!
When passion became obsession, I felt the need to set up a pedigree database that would merge pedigrees from all over the world. With this database it is possible to trace back most pedigrees all the way back to the first generation dogs. It gives insight in how close dogs are related and breeders can use it to see what a future litter would look like pedigree wise, how related the parents would be and what health issues may occur. The database can be found here.
