Monty the Lagotto Romagnolo

The Lagotto Romagnolo is an ancient breed that originates from the Romagna region of Italy, known primarily for its prowess in truffle hunting. This medium-sized dog features a robust build, with a dense, curly coat that provides insulation and protection against the elements.

Characterised by its friendly and affectionate nature, the Lagotto Romagnolo is highly regarded as a family companion. They are intelligent, eager to please, and generally trainable, making them suitable for various dog sports and activities. Their strong sense of smell and natural instinct for search and retrieval have made them indispensable in truffle hunting.

The breed's coat is a hallmark of its appearance, typically ranging in colours from white to brown and various combinations of these hues. Regular grooming is essential to maintain the coat's condition and prevent matting.

In terms of temperament, Lagottos are known to be sociable, energetic, and adaptable. They typically get along well with children and other pets, making them a well-rounded choice for families. Daily exercise and mental stimulation are vital to ensure their well-being, as they thrive on activity and companionship.

Overall, the Lagotto Romagnolo is a loving and versatile breed that brings joy and dedication to its owners, making it a cherished addition to any household.

Having photographed my first Lagotto, Monty above then the breed winning Best in Show at Crufts in 2023 I am now the proud owner of my own Lagotto dog.
