But her introduction to Bolognese didn't come until later in life. Hisaka grew up in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to the United States in 1987 when her husband's job transferred them to Portland, Oregon. It would take another two decades for Hisaka to be introduced to the breed. But once she held a Bolognese puppy in her arms for the first time, she knew she'd devote the rest of her life to the breed. | | | The "AKC Eddy Award" for Breeder Education is Now Accepting Applications | The American Kennel Club®, a not-for-profit organization, the world's largest purebred registry and leading advocate for dogs, is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for the AKC Eddy Award starting today through September 1, 2025.
