Buying a purebred Bolognese can be quite expensive. These dogs can cost between $1,800 and $2,500. If you find a Bolognese from a shelter or a rescue organization, the amount you’ll pay will be significantly less, and will likely cost a few hundred dollars to cover the vaccination fees and application costs.
After you have budgeted for what you’ll need to pay to bring home a Bolognese, you will also need to make sure you have money to cover veterinary bills, training, food, supplies, and toys for your dog. The first year owning your dog will likely be the most expensive, and you could end up spending over $1,000. For the subsequent years that you own your dog, you’ll want to budget between $500 and $1,000 to cover expenses.
