Description

This dog belongs to a friend, it is in the gundog group but has to be shown in the Import classes as there are not enough to have classes of their own. .The Lagotto is an ancient breed of water retriever from the lowlands of Comacchio and marshlands of Ravenna, Italy. All modern water retrieving dog breeds are believed to have descended in part from the Lagotto RamagnoIn modern times, the Lagotto has been bred primarily as a truffle-searching dog, and not as a retriever or hunting dog. Their highly developed nose makes them excellent search dogs. Some Lagotto are excellent swimmers, but some will only paddle. Some will retrieve from lakes, streams and other bodies of water without hesitation. Not all Lagotto are suitable as family companions, puppies for families with small children need to be carefully chosen. They can make excellent domestic companions provided they have sufficient exercise. Lagottos love to dig; many owners give them a sandbox, or have a designated place to allow them satisfy their digging urges. They also love to play seeking-games and have very active minds. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favss, so, so appreciated. x Info from Wikipedia
