Introduction

With their dense, curly coat, robust build, and endearing expression, the Lagotto Romagnoli breed is as charming as it is distinctive. Originating in Italy, these medium-sized dogs are widely recognized for their prowess in truffle hunting. Their affectionate and loyal temperament makes them excellent family companions, while their keen intelligence requires regular mental stimulation. Energetic and loving, the Lagotto is happiest when engaged in activities with their humans or exploring the outdoors. Their waterproof coat needs regular grooming to prevent matting.
