1 Description. The Bolognese often appears on lists of dogs that allegedly do not shed (moult). It is true that these dogs do not seasonally moult or lose large amounts of fur as many other breeds do. The Bolognese is a small, white, compact dog with a distinctive white single coat. It is of small size, stocky and compact. Its eyes are well developed, open and round. The rims of the eyelids are black and the iris is a dark ochre color. The ears are set high and are long and hanging, but rigid at the base. The tail is carried curved over the back of the body . 1 Description.
