Q. & A. with Daniel & Jessica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We started breeding after we realized how much our dog helped with PTSD. We began studying the genetics, temperaments, conformation, and overall health. We want to improve the breed and focus on health. Jessica graduated Starmark academy for dog Trainers in 2020. It has been an absolute joy, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
  • What makes your program special?

    At Dolce Bosco Lagotto, our breeding program is dedicated to preserving the Lagotto Romagnolo’s true heritage while producing healthy, confident, and exceptional companions. We carefully select our dogs for sound health, outstanding temperament, intelligence, natural working ability, and the breed’s renowned nose. Puppies are raised in our home with love, daily enrichment, and Puppy Culture practices that support early socialization, confidence, and emotional development. By combining thoughtful pairings, comprehensive health testing, and a nurturing home environment, we strive to raise well-rounded Lagotti who embody the beauty, character, and working qualities that make this breed so special.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brown, orange, orange roan, off-white, white, and brown roan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
