Hi my name is Christine Thatcher (Chris please) and I live on the outskirts of Weston super Mare in North Somerset. My Bolognese are all kept firstly as companions and house pets and secondly show dogs. I have been showing dogs for well in excess of 20 years although not always the Bolognese. None of my dogs are kept in kennels I have taken the Bolognese to heart since owning my first one over ten years ago. There is nothing better than owning one Bolognese and that is two, three, four or more!! 2010 Half way leader TOP DOG - Dog World competition with Devonia's Altivita (Morse) and Top Brood Bitch Sara with Devonia VIYO ELITE COMPETITION 2009 (Our Dogs) Winner of Top Sire (Devonia's Altivita), Top Puppy (Devonia's Cerutti) and Top Breeder for 2009 Yumega Competition (Dog World) Top Brood Bitch (Sara with Devonia), I can be contacted on Devoniak9@btinternet.com or by telephone on 01934 512267 - Kennel Club Accredited Breeder.

I hope to keep this site updated on a regular basis, so pop back occasionally and see whats new.
I hope you enjoy my site and you learn something about the lovely small Italian companion dogs. You can read the interesting things that have happened to "Trevor" one of the puppies I bred and his transition into his new home with his adopted family, also from Chicco owned by Lewis & Paige Morley, Chicco is a litter brother of Bella.
I am happy to help if I can, I may occasionally have puppies available so do please enquire if you are serious about this rare toy breed.
All my dogs have been tested for Leishmania and all proved to be negative.
