Lagotto Romagnolo

Short fact about the breed

The Lagotto has its roots in Italy. From the begining it was used as a water retriever dog, but later when the lakes were reclaimed it has been trained to search for truffels instead.

The Lagotto was imported to Sweden in 1995.

The Lagotto is a very kind companion dog who likes to take part in everything its family does.

Even if the Lagotto enjoys beeing with its family it will require some work for the brain as well. It has a very sharp aptitude for searching. Since it has a steep learning curve it's very suitable for obedience training and also agility training. Going for long walks in the woods, even in temperatures much below zero, seems to please the Lagotto very much.
