Accepted Answer

Visit our Our Litters page, choose your favorite puppy, and click the Reserve button — this opens a contact form pre-filled with that puppy's name. We'll walk you through our process, answer your questions, and help secure your reservation. Deposits hold your puppy until mid-June pickup.

When will the puppies be ready to go home?

Accepted Answer

Our current litter was born March 16, 2026, and will be ready to join their new families mid-June 2026 (approximately 12-13 weeks of age). This gives each puppy proper socialization, health checks, and the weaning/development time critical to long-term wellness.

Question 4

What is WisdomPanel and why does it matter for Bolonka puppies?

Accepted Answer

WisdomPanel is the industry-leading canine DNA health test. It screens for 270+ genetic conditions that can affect dogs, including breed-specific hereditary diseases. Both parents of our current litter (Yummy and Berry Black) have been tested and are clean for ALL 270+ conditions — meaning your puppy comes from genetically verified healthy lineage. This level of documented genetic transparency is rare in toy breeds and gives you true peace of mind.

Question 5

How much do Blackberry Bolonkas puppies cost?

Accepted Answer

Our current litter is priced at $3,500 for males and $4,000 for females. This reflects WisdomPanel genetic testing on both parents (clean for 270+ conditions), in-home socialization from birth, early health checks, and lifetime breeder support. A deposit reserves your chosen puppy; the balance is due at mid-June pickup.

Question 6

Are Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas good family dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas are excellent family dogs. They are gentle, intelligent, and great with children. Their small size (4-11 pounds) makes them perfect for apartments, and they're known for being hypoallergenic with minimal shedding.

Question 7

Do Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas shed?

Accepted Answer

Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas are considered hypoallergenic and shed very little. Their silky coat requires regular brushing but doesn't mat easily. This makes them ideal for people with allergies or those who prefer a low-shedding companion.

Question 8

How big do Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas get?

Accepted Answer

Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas are toy-sized dogs, typically weighing 4-11 pounds and standing 8-11 inches tall at maturity. They're perfect lap dogs that don't require extensive exercise but enjoy daily walks and playtime.

Question 9

What health tests should Bolonka breeders perform?

Accepted Answer

Responsible Bolonka breeders should perform health testing including eye clearances (CERF), heart clearances, and comprehensive genetic testing for hereditary conditions. At Blackberry Bolonkas, both of our breeding dogs have completed full WisdomPanel genetic testing and are clean for all 270+ genetic conditions known to affect dogs — well beyond industry standard.

Question 10

How long do Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas live?

Accepted Answer

Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas typically live 12-16 years with proper care. They're generally healthy dogs when bred responsibly. Regular veterinary care, quality nutrition, and maintaining a healthy weight contribute to their longevity.

Question 11

Are Bolonkas easy to train?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas are intelligent and eager to please, making them relatively easy to train. They respond well to positive reinforcement and early socialization. House training may take patience due to their small size.

Question 12

Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonkas come in various colors including black, brown, chocolate, cream, red, and combinations of these colors. They can have solid coats or markings. White is not accepted in the breed standard.
