Are Bologneses good with kids?

Yes, Bologneses are good with kids as long as they feel safe and are gently handled. Their affectionate, playful, and snuggly nature makes them wonderful companions for families with children. Because they’re a small, gentle, and lower-energy breed, they can be well-suited for young children who might accidentally be knocked over by a larger or more rambunctious pup.

However, it’s especially easy for young kids to accidentally hurt, scare, or corner small-breed dogs like the Bolognese, so make sure to teach your children how to interact gently with dogs, including recognizing basic signs of stress and not disturbing them while sleeping or eating. It’s also important for pet parents to teach their dogs how to gently interact with children.
