About Us

Read Our Story

Welcome to Bellissibolo Bologneses' Website!

We are Andrea Kovács and Sarah Sztruhala - a mom&daughter duo and the owners of this fab Bolognese breeding.

We met with the Bichon breeds in 2002 and later we established our own kennel in Budapest, Hungary.

We spend lots of great time together at dog shows and in the everyday life around the doggies. We raise up our litters together.


Our Mission

Our goal is that puppies from our breeding should meet the highest quality standards (body structure and proportions, health, character and pigmentation) and they could be a cheerful companion of their owners for long years, at least 15 years. Due to our hard work we gained the TOP BREEDER title for the first time in 2015. Between 2013 - 2024 Bellissibolo dogs achieved several time TOP DOG titles in Hungary.


After many years of hard work Andrea and me got Masterbreeder degree

In the last 15 years our breeding the BELLISSIBOLO Bolognese kennel has been producing lovely puppies who make the life of their owners much happier in 10 countries around the World and we achieved some fab titles

  • Best in Show, Res.BIS, BIS3…
  • Vice World Winner
  • Vice European Winner
  • European Veteran Winner
  • Vice European Junior Winner
  • and many Champion titles

Who are we?

In civilian life, Andrea works in business, and Sára is a PhD student at the ELTE TTK Biology Doctoral School. We take care of our dogs together every day - we raise and care for our puppies together and we love every minute of it!

Csaba has been a member of our team since 2017 - who, as Sára's husband, actively participates at dog shows and prepares the dogs for the competition season. The picture shows Sára and Csabi at their wedding - the little bridesmaids and of course the ring bearer were all Bolognese.

How it all began

Our Bolognese adoration began more than 15 years ago and our enthusiasm has only grown over the years! It is a great happiness for us that the Bellissibolo dogs have won numerous winning titles and championships in recent years. Every year we participate with our Bolognese in high-level international exhibitions, European and World Championships.

We do not have many puppies, in fact, we can generally say that we have a litter every 1-2 years. We like to devote our time and energy to this, because every puppy is a member of our big family - we raise and love them as if they were our own children. The puppies from our kennel bring joy to their owners in Hungary and in several European countries. Of course, we keep in touch with the owners of all the puppies born in our kennel and we are very proud of them!

Official Breeder's Course by the Hungarian Kennel Club

We both successfully completed the Dog Breeder's Course organized by the Hungarian Dog Breeders' National Association. We use the knowledge gained during the course in our breeding work.

This course included many interesting and useful courses, such as:

  • Ethology
  • Genetics
  • Animal Welfare
  • Reproductive Biology
  • Anatomy
  • Correct Feeding of Dogs

Professional article: Social factors influencing puppy development

The Bolognese - and the love of dogs globally - led Sára to natural sciences in high school, and later to a career as a biologist. During her university studies, she placed great emphasis on behavioral sciences: she completed her BSc thesis at the Department of Ethology, which examined the social factors influencing the development of puppies, specifically the caregiving behavior of dogs. Her supervisor was Dr. Péter Pongrácz, assistant professor. You can read the article from the thesis in English at the following link:
