Origins and History of the Lagotto Romagnolo

The Lagotto Romagnolo has its roots in the Romagna region of Italy, where it was originally used as a water retriever in the marshlands of Ravenna and Comacchio. The name “Lagotto” means “duck dog” in the local dialect. When the marshes were drained in the late 19th century, the Lagotto’s original job disappeared, but thanks to its exceptional nose, the breed became the world’s best truffle hunter.

The Lagotto Romagnolo is one of Europe’s oldest water dogs and was saved from extinction in the 1970s by dedicated Italian enthusiasts. Today, the breed is recognized and loved worldwide as both a working dog and a loyal companion.

Physical Characteristics: The Distinctive Curly Dog

The Lagotto Romagnolo is a compact, square-built dog with a robust frame. Its most striking feature is the dense, woolly curls that cover the entire body, including the beard, eyebrows, and whiskers. The coat is water-resistant and hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers.

• Height: Males 43-48 cm, females 41-46 cm
• Weight: Males 13-16 kg, females 11-14 kg
• Colors: White, white with brown or orange patches, brown, orange, roan, with or without a mask
• Coat: Dense, woolly curls, minimal shedding

Temperament and Personality: The Ideal Family Dog

The Lagotto Romagnolo is renowned for its friendly, affectionate, and intelligent nature. This breed is eager to please, obedient, and easy to train, making it suitable for both new and experienced dog owners.

• Family Dog: Social, gentle, and great with children
• Watchdog: Alert but not aggressive; will bark to alert
• Intelligence: Highly intelligent, loves challenges, learns quickly
• Energy: Active and playful, enjoys walks, swimming, and games

Early socialization is important to prevent shyness or timidity. With proper upbringing, the Lagotto becomes a well-balanced, stable dog that fits perfectly into family life.

Health and Longevity

The Lagotto Romagnolo is generally a healthy breed with a life expectancy of 12 to 16 years. Like all breeds, some hereditary conditions can occur, such as hip dysplasia and certain eye diseases. At Woefkesranch, all parent dogs are thoroughly health tested to ensure strong, healthy puppies.

• Life expectancy: 12-16 years
• Health: Regular check-ups, quality nutrition, and plenty of exercise contribute to a long and happy life

Grooming and Maintenance

The Lagotto’s unique coat sheds very little but does require regular maintenance. Weekly brushing prevents matting, and the coat should be professionally trimmed several times a year. The ears need extra attention to prevent infections.

• Brushing: At least once a week
• Trimming: 3-4 times per year
• Ears: Regular checks and cleaning

Training and Socialization

Thanks to their intelligence and eagerness to please, Lagotto Romagnolos are easy to train. Positive reinforcement works best. Early socialization and puppy training are essential for a well-adjusted adult dog.

• Socialization: Introduce to people, animals, and new experiences from a young age
• Training: Basic commands, house training, and possibly scent or truffle training
• Activities: Walking, swimming, scent games, and dog sports

The Lagotto Romagnolo as a Working Dog
