Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka
AKA: Russian Bolonka, Bolonka-Zwetna
Description: There is yet no standard look for the Russian Tsvenaya Bolonka, as it is not yet really recognized by any international kennel club. The general appearance would be similar to that of a Bichon Frise, but there have been more developments to the breed, including the development of colored coats instead of the pure white.
Dynamics: The Russian Bolonka is a happy, lively, and playful dog. It is affectionate and very loving. It is also an intelligent and energetic dog, and only needs a firm and consistent training to be a great companion. It is also observant and sensitive to its owner.
Breed Group: no official breed group as it is not yet internationally recognized
Weight: 2-5 kg
Height: 24-26 cm
Color: White is the generally accepted color for the Russian Bolonka. However there are attempts to breed colored versions of the breed.
Country of Origin: The Russian Bolonka originated in Russia, where it was developed from arguably either the Bichon Frise or French Bolognese.
Activities: The Russian Bolonka needs to have its daily walk, like all dogs do. Play sessions and other exercises will also be very productive for the dog.
Grooming: Daily brushing of the Russian Bolonka’s coat is needed in order to avoid matting. Bathe only when necessary, and keep its ears and eyes clean. Keep its nails trimmed too.
Other Info: The Russian Bolonka is a flexible dog and can live either in a town or city. It will do fine living in an apartment.
