Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
We adore this breed and starting a breeding program felt like the right decision. We value responsible breeding practices and want to do our part to promote ethical breeding so that the Lagotto Romagnolo Dog will continue to thrive for many generations. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program stands out amongst others because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We also really value the connections we form with our buyers and love to continue to watch our puppies grow up through their eyes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
