As dog lovers and owners for many years of various breeds, our beloved Havanese Max passed at the age of 14, pretty long in "dog years", leaving a tremendous void in our home. After some time we just couldn't bear the absence of a 4 legged best friend. After doing considerable research on all the related breeds, we decided to look for a Bolognese, the Italian cousin of the Havanese, We were delighted to find Starlight Bolognese right here in the Ft.Lauderdale area. We had seen pictures on the internet with puppies available for sale from only a handful of breeders of "bolos" across the country. However, the idea of buying a "best buddy" online was an iffy proposition-looks cute, but will I connect with that adorable puppy face to face. So we decided to take a ride on a sunny Sunday afternoon to visit Lexi. We were able to check out the situation, observing the puppies, their parents and how they were being raised. Needless to say, we were thrilled to see the loving environment they enjoyed as well as have a nice "sit down' with Lexi. Frankly, we were sure she was checking us out as much as we were her, making sure her babies were going to a loving home. We all passed the test. We saw Stigge, a 3 month absolutely loveable and affectionate little boy. Lexi had wanted us to wait until Stigge had finished having all his shots; instead, we took him home with us and met her at her vet's a few days later to complete the vaccinations still due. The vet commented on how every Bolognese she brought in was perfect! A nice, comforting bit of knowledge to have. Stigge is such a love and was already past the paper training stage and ready to pamper, all 3 lbs, 4 ozs. of him. We highly recommend Lexi's Starlight Bolognese; she's there for you if you're new to puppyhood and have any questions-just call or text her.
