The Lagotto Romagnolo is an ancient Italian water retriever whose origins trace back to the marshlands of Romagna, and which today is world-renowned as the premier truffle-hunting dog. Its dense, curly, waterproof double coat and extraordinary nose make it uniquely suited for searching the forest floor, and its keen scenting ability has been selectively refined for centuries. Affectionate and devoted, the Lagotto is an enthusiastic worker with a gentle family temperament, thriving on both mental stimulation and close companionship with its owners.
