Frequently asked questions
Why we do not have a waiting list
We do not want to keep your data unnecessarily. When we have puppies available we will mention it on our website.
Getting to know the breed
Have you not yet met the lagotto in real life? Then it is good to do so first. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to receive breed interested people at our place, this would mean filling our week with receiving visitors and we need this time to care for our dogs. More about getting to know the breed can be found here: Getting to know the breed.
Why we sometimes have older puppies available
We regularly keep 1 or even 2 puppies reserved for ourselves or exports for a bit longer. This gives us time to decide whether we want to keep a pup from the litter ourselves. It may therefore happen that we have a puppy available as early as 9 weeks of age.
Are there any older dogs/replacers
We occasionally have (young) adult dogs for whom we are looking for a new home. More information can be found on the young adult dogs page
How does it go from here?
Already met the lagotto and still enthusiastic? Then fill in the form below or send an e-mail answering the questions at the bottom of this page. We will normally send a reply within a week and will then be happy to make a phone appointment for a first closer acquaintance.
When the puppies are born, we will keep interested parties informed via whatsapp. When the puppies are about 5 weeks old, we will schedule an introduction to the puppies. We think peace and quiet for mother and puppies is very important.
What does a puppy cost?
The puppy price for 2023 is set at €2500 including 21% VAT

If you are seriously interested in one of our puppies, we would like to ask you to send an email answering the questions below: rosebuds[a]gmail.com.
- why are you interested in the lagotto and what do you expect from a puppy?
- What is your family composition and what can you offer a lagotto?

- how do you guys see raising a lagotto?
- what do you expect from us?

- At what time can you receive a lagotto puppy?
! Unfortunately, we cannot export puppies to Belgium, the puppy would have to stay with us until 16 weeks. If you live in Belgium, please check with our Belgian colleagues.
Enthusiastic? Read the text below carefully first!
Below is some information about our working methods and vision. If, after reading this, you would still like a puppy from us, please be sure to fill in the form below. By the way, filling in a form does not immediately mean that we will offer you a puppy.
When will we know if a puppy is available for us?
When the puppies are about 5-6 weeks old, we organise a morning/afternoon where all potential new owners can visit the puppies once.
When we invite you for an introduction, this does not automatically mean that you will get a puppy. We like to keep the possibility open for both you and us to not come to a purchase agreement at any time. We will keep you informed via whatsapp on a regular basis.
Who gets which puppy?
Here, we mainly look at what the puppies show, behaviour, interaction etc. We always keep the gender preference. We cannot give a preference for colour, as character and dog-handling are more important to us than colour. We usually don't know which puppy will go to which family until the puppies are 6.5 weeks old. We introduce a puppy to the new family.
Is the colour of the puppy important to you?
We understand that there may be a colour preference, however, we feel that the colour is secondary to the owner-dog interaction. If a colour preference is important to you, we recommend contacting one of the other breeders in the Netherlands.
Litter socialisation
We work according to the guidelines of Puppy Culture. A litter socialisation programme that pays a lot of attention to the right balance between exploring/ learning/ exploring/ playing and rest. Not too much and not too little. This fits well with our human experience with sensorimotor integration therapy.
Good to know
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.
All our puppies have a pedigree issued by the Raad van Beheer. We work with a purchase agreement, which we will send to you a few days before the pups leave the litter.
We advise everyone to get pet insurance for their new housemate. In today's animal care climate with big investors, vet costs are rising fast.
