Labrador Retriver
When the family 1990 moved from the south to the north part of Skåne, Sweden, we had to decide whether our black Labrador Retreiver, Glenn's hunting-mate for 15 years, should follow us or stay in "the rare hunting-fields".
To move an old dog to a complete new place would maybe do him more harm than happiness.
After a careful consideration, we let him go to "the rare hunting-fields" and a place in dog's heaven. Such hard decitions a dog-owner must be prepared to do and for a long time afterwards think about if it was the right decision.
A new dog
After about a year at the new place, we missed to have a four-legged friend around and started to plan for a new dog. This time a more pet- than a hunting-dog.
After doing some researches in books and magazines, we at last decided to get a Bolognese and tried to find a breeder with a puppy for sale. We could not find any so therefore we decided to try to get a Havanese instead (no 2 on our list).
We contacted Kennel Voilą and the successful breeder Pernilla Glumstrand near Lund (in the southest part of Sweden). We were invited to her kennel and to meet her Havaneses. It was a nice breed and suited our wishes well. After a while we bought a gold-colored female puppy, Voilą Bebe.
You can see her in the Photo Gallery, named "Mimmi", a spoiled dog who do whatever she wants.
The first meeting with a Bolognese
When we went to Pernilla bringing Mimmi home, Pernilla showed us her nice Bolognese male, Voilą Amore Mio. This meeting we will never forget! This was the kind of dog we really wanted, but, he was not for sale. Not even "for all the money in the world" as Pernilla expressed it.
But we were very happy with our Havanese and kept in touch with Pernilla and talked often with her about Bolognese.
Voilą Bella Bimba
After a year or so Pernilla asked us if we were interested in taking care of a Bolognese-puppy for her. We were delighted and answered "YES!" immediately. The Havanese is a very nice dog, but for us the Bolognese is"No 1"!
The newcomer was Voilą Bella Bimba and we gave her the nickname "Bollnäs".
(If you say "Bolognese" fast, it sounds in Swedish as you say "Bollnäs" which is a town in Dalarna, Sweden).
Phoenix zur alten Schmiede from Switzerland
When Bollnäs had grown up she went to Ivar and Grethe in Norway and met their, from Switzerland imported male, Phoenix zur alten Schmiede which resulted in five nice puppies.
Voilą Cara Mia is one of the puppies and can be seen in the Photo Gallery. Her nickname is "Molly".
Fritte from Värmland
Bollnäs went in July this year to Majbritt and Arne in Värmland, Sweden and met their nice male, Fritte as you also can see in the Photo Gallery. The result of the meeting in the deep woods of Värmland you can see at the Puppies' side.
The future
There are a low number of Bolognese in Sweden and new breed material is needed. We have been travelling around all over Europe looking for good dogs in our efforts to improve the breeding base.
It is difficult, but with cooperation, domestic as well as abroad, there are in fact possibilities to even more improve the breeding of the Bolognese.
