The Lagotto Romagnolo is a small to medium sized dog with thick curly hair and a bright, happy demeanor. The breed originates from Italy and was first used to hunt waterfowl. Since the 19th century it has been specifically bred to hunt the underground tuber known as the truffle. As a working breed, the Lagotto needs frequent mental stimulation and physical exercise to be happy and content. If properly socialized they get along well with dogs, children and other small pets. The breed comes in various shades of brown, with or without white, orange, with or without white, off-white, white with brown or orange patches, and brown roan. Tan markings are allowed. |
Be a Health Hero LRCA Health Committee is conducting a survey for all Lagotti that looks into all aspects of LR health. There are questions of environment, nutrition, and other factors that make up LR well being. This is an in-depth survey and we are going to send a Health Hero magnet (see above) as a thank you gift for participating. Answers are confidential. We hope those with older or deceased LRs will participate and also those with young healthy dogs as well. To participate, click the HERE tinyurl.com/LRCAhealth |
