Welcome
The lagotto is a big part of our lives. Not only as a companion dog but also as a working and show dog.
The trips we make bring us a lot of knowledge about the breed and the breeding programmes of colleagues worldwide. With this knowledge, we try to make a positive contribution to building the breed.
Through international cooperation, more and more is known about the health of the breed. On this page, you can learn more about known health problems and how we try to prevent them through health screenings.
In the last 10 years, great strides have been made worldwide in improving the temperament of the lagotto. However, it is good to realise that besides being a truffle dog and a family dog, the lagotto was also used as a watchdog near fishing boats. Barking is in their nature.
You can find more information about our puppies, the parent dogs and young adult rehomes on our website. But of course also lots of information about the breed.

Pups
All our puppies are microchipped, dewormed several times and have had their first vaccination before leaving the litter. We register the puppy in a database and when it leaves us, we have to deregister it. It is up to the new owners to re-register the puppy in a recognised database.
