Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka Dog Names

Because the Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka is not a popular dog except within their native Russia, there are not many well known Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas. However, there are some that are making a name for themselves in the rare breed show ring such as Dmitri and Tessa. Dmitri and Tessa are owned by Debby Buse of Brandon Township, Michigan. Debby’s story begins when she was doing a simple internet search in 2009 looking at the various rare breed dogs throughout the world. Debby used to breed and show Border Collies as well as Quarter Horses so she was no stranger to training and conditioning dogs for the show ring. But, what she really wanted was a dog that was not considered common; that is why she was searching for a rare breed. The Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka intrigued her and she was especially drawn to the puppy photos that really showed their personality. Debby began researching the breed and spoke with a breeder in Idaho several times about the care and personality of the breed. After learning more, Debby was absolutely in love with the breed and she purchased her first Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka puppy from the breeder in Idaho. That new puppy was named Tessa and was a cream colored, quiet puppy. After purchasing Tessa, Debby decided she wanted to be a part of the foundation of the Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka in the United States. After some time she was placed on a wait list to purchase a male Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka.  She purchased a black male named Dmitri from the same Idaho breeder about a year after she purchased Tessa. Tessa and Dmitri had different bloodlines and would be eventually bred. There are only a handful of quality Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka breeders within the United States; therefore, some people are on waiting lists for months before a puppy is available.  Because this breed is so rare, you will basically need to know someone to even get on a waiting list or be prepared to import your new puppy in from Russia. Debby became friends with Candace Mogavero, the breeder that imported the first Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas into the United States. Debby felt that Dmitri had the attitude and quality to do well in the show ring and by the time he was 10 months old, Dmitri was a triple champion. He was the only Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka at that time to hold three championships. Tessa, meanwhile, has been valuable in the whelping box and her first litter produced three pups.
