Meet the breeder
I'm Robin M., the breeder behind Fino Lagotto located in Santa Fe, NM. I am a Lagotto Romagnolo enthusiast. I breed a litter of puppies with the goal of superior temperament, health, and classic Italian characteristics. The Lagotto is a very special breed and we are working to preserve the companionability, trainability, and endearing passion of these charming dogs.
Q. & A. with Robin
Why did you start breeding?
My mom started showing when I was 5 years old so I grew up showing dogs. I knew then I wanted to do my part to better the breed.What makes your program special?
The Lagotti is a very special breed but they need an extra amount of training and early puppy socialization ((new people, places, dogs, experiences) . You must familiarize yourself with the breed of Lagotti , the parents of the Lagotti puppy and the ethical breeder of the Lagotti . They are special dogs if you buy a well bred one with good parents and a knowledgeable breeder that cares .Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Price
“My full time job is to raise you the best puppy of your life ..or 2 :) I spend all day and night with my dogs. We share life and love and adventures daily. My dogs are my family not exploited and neglected. COME ON PEOPLE !! You must ask questions, do a FaceTime call, don’t ignore red flags .. dogs are too important to buy a fearful sick Lagotti . Look at the Lagotto Club of America Breeder Referral list. If the breeder you have been speaking with is not listed.. ASK WHY!! Please don’t ignore warning signs because you are in a hurry . There are PLENTY of well bred Lagotti in America. My puppies are a pleasure to house train and transition. They have been handled and groomed and trained for weeks when you get them. Mine sleep all night in the crate, walk on leash, perfect to wash/nails and trim. My older dogs are more money because they are age appropriately better trained , and easy to transition into your home. My 10 week old have a great start but you have a lot of work to do …Lagotti pups need a ton of socialization and outings …new people, dogs, experiences and places ☺️ I usually have 1 year fully trained dogs to share as well which are 7000.00 and up depending of personality traits and color. The 500.00 goes toward the purchase price after we have gotten to know each other and feel comfortable taking that next step.”

Litter and program updates
Robin M.
Program update on 08 June •…Happy Sunday Night Puppy People! The pups continue to grow and thrive; just a couple more days and ENS will be complete, as they were 2 weeks old yesterday! This marked the end of the “neonatal” period and today was the beginning of the “transitional” period which is 2-3 weeks old. Milestones in the past week: all pups doubled their weights. Friday and Saturdays everyone’s eyes opened! At first just slits, then almost all the pups had just one eye 👁️ open. By late Saturday they all had both eyes 👀 open! This morning (Sunday) everyone looked the same as usual,but when I checked them this afternoon, I found them walking, well toddling, but they are up on their legs instead of crawling. I expect by tomorrow they will all be toddling along pretty good.😊 That’s all for now; have a good week. Barb for Fino

Litter update on 01 June •…Ciao Puppy People! Just a little update on our little “opera singers!” Pups are thriving, spending most of their time nursing, growing, and getting in humorous positions like miniature acrobats!🙃 They are 8 days old today, and are in day 7 of their ENS (early neurological stimulation). I can’t help but notice how calm they all are! I tickle their toes, turn them upside down, and set them on a cold, wet washcloth among other things, and have only heard minor fussing from them. These exercises introduce mild stress that among other things, strengthens the immune system, and builds emotional tolerance. In addition I introduced ESI (early scent introduction) today. The Lagotto is an ancient breed historically bred to hunt, track, and hunt for truffles. The ENS triggers that genetic drive and primes the pup’s brains to process and use smells effectively. Dogs exposed to ESI earn scenting titles faster, and can do complex work faster. For a Lagotto, this is a “preschool” for the nose! 🥇over the next 10 days, I will have the pups sniff 10 different smells: herbs, spices, leather among them. ESI and ENS support stronger bodies, minds, and instill confidence. Who knew, huh?🤔 Today’s smell was soil; black, rich, potting soil. Their eyes and ears are closed, but it was clear from the sharp head up that each pup did upon sniffing, that sense of smell is highly developed even at 8 days old! Truffles anyone? Regards to all, Barb for Fino
