What is a BoloNoodle?

The BoloNoodle is a hybrid cross between a registered Bolognese and a registered Toy Poodle. 

============================================================

As far as we can determine, Jarbeth's Kennel was the second to offer the rare Bolognese here in the USA.  To learn more about the Bolognese, click here.  Because the Bolognese is rare, it comes with a higher price than many are willing to pay for a pet.  In trying to create a unique niche for our kennel, we came up with the BoloNoodle (the poor man's Bolognese).  We were the first to offer this hybrid to the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC), so we were afforded the opportunity to name the new cross breed.  Our family came up with three different names and BoloNoodle won the vote.

The Bolognese is an intelligent toy breed as is the Poodle.  Both are non-shed and hypo-allergenic.  The BoloNoodle has the best characteristics of both breeds.  They are in the 6-12 lb range, depending on the parents, and come in all colors, but are primarily white or cream.  The Bolognese is an all white breed, so any color found in the BoloNoodle will have been inherited from the Poodle parent.  Our dogs have produced, white, cream, cream and white, black; brown and white; black and tan; black and white and a rare brindle BoloNoodles, and we anticipate more colors.  A BoloNoodle produced by Jarbeth's Kennel will come with ACHC registration papers and a pedigree.

From what we have learned, they have been crossing the Bolognese with the Toy Poodle in Europe for years, but have never named the hybrid.  This hybrid is recognized as a great family pet in Europe and we are proud to offer you the opportunity to own one as well.

A reference letter sent to the friends of a BoloNoodle customer of ours:

Dear Keri,

    Please forward info below to Maria A., Kristin & Barry and share the info with your friends.  Bethany, the breeder of our Bolognese Poodle "BoloNoodle" in Missouri, is a mother of 9 adopted children.  I have been extremely happy with her personal touch, professionalism and service.  She has a 60 acre farm with many different animals so the pups I purchased are extremely socialized, sleeps through vacuum noise, no fear of my 55 lb. schnauzer, my 70 lb. labradoodle and 5 very loud and "loving" children ages 3-13 yrs.

    I bought 3 BoloNoodles.  The 2 in the pictures (below) are ours, "Genevive" & "Madeline" and the 3rd one will fly in tomorrow to be donated as a live auction item this Friday for a charity event fund raiser.**  According to my vet, Dr. Clark, the 2 pups have such a great mellow disposition and the fact that they are part poodle, makes them healthier as whatever defects may exist in a particular breed, for some reason, does not come through the hybrid.  Bethany is the original and as far as we know the only "BoloNoodle"  hybrid breeder in the U.S. with the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC) and their kennel is AKC approved.

[** Note from Jarbeth's Kennel--We have had a couple of animal activists crawl down our throats for "donating" a puppy for this auction.  For the record, there are dog auctions (as well as horse, cattle, goat, and small animal auctions) being held somewhere around the nation nearly every day.  Auctions are not inhumane, they offer a legal way for an animal to be transferred from one owner to another.  Also for the record, this puppy was not donated to a "dog" auction.  This puppy was purchased by our customer who then in turn donated it for a black tie Christian school fund raiser and it sold well.  The funds raised for this event were used for teacher enrichment/education, scholarships for families who may be in financial need especially with the current economy, and school equipment ie: computer, science needs that would not be possible without the additional funds as hospitals and private schools really depend on additional funds raised or donated.  And, best of all, the puppy went to a loving home.  If you are an animal activist, please do not burden us with the "facts" as you see them, as you have no knowledge of the events. 

Here are the facts regarding this particular puppy straight from the donor:  "Her owners take her every where they go including the school their two children attend.  The owners are a lovely couple from Scottsdale who certainly could purchase their pups from anywhere but specifically wanted to do so from a charity auction.  The mom is a stay at home mom and spends so much time with the pup not only at home but in public and in her children's schools.  That pup sees her two sisters who I have and all three are growing up beautifully 'together'.  I just saw the pup yesterday and she was driving away in a brand new Mercedes Benz with her very proud mom." 

Does this sound inhumane?  For those innocent to the animal activists and their activity, please click on the "What is a Puppy Mill" link on the front page and read the next to last paragraph, or click here.  Sorry for this interruption, now back to our reference letter...]

    The attached are pictures of our 2  "BoloNoodles" which are very rare in the U.S.  In the pictures the pups are anywhere from 9-11 weeks old.  They are hypo-allergenic, non-shedding, and do not have a "doggy" odor since they do not have an undercoat.  They are also great with children and other animals, very observant and intelligent.  I personally wash them in my sink with baby shampoo once a week to keep their coat clean & fluffy (I am a clean freak, yet they are still alive).  They are very good watch dogs, not "yappy" in any way which is extremely surprising for small dogs.

      Bolognese (5-9 lbs) have been around since the 13th century and were given to royalty and nobility.  They are the serious, even tempered and quiet cousins of a Bichon Frise (the Bolognese can talk/listen to politics).  The BoloNoodle will grow between 6-12 lbs. depending on parents.  The prices is also unbeatable $xxx a pup, plus $250 flight.  If you get 2, you just pay for 1 flight.  Thank goodness they can not be found in pet stores yet where they will cost 3-4x more and will be defective.
 
   Bethany just informed me that a BoloNoodle litter was just born and will be ready to come home for the holidays (they don't last long, so if interested, she takes deposits.  She also has other breeds ie: Bolognese, Bullmastiff, Chihuahua, Great Pyrenees, Lhasa Apso, Toy Poodle, Shih Tzu, Silky Terrier.  Her website is www.jarbethskennel.com or contact Bethany @ jarbeth@yahoo.com 

Thank you,

PS--I think the Miller's charge too little for the very rare hybrid "Bolonoodle" and recommended that they increase the price, if not now, then maybe when the economy is better especially since they are basically the only one in the market who is a reputable cross breeder.  The Bolognese would really sell just because of their rarity not to mention all their wonderful personal traits.
