Lagotto Amore Breeders
Meet the breeder
I'm Mark, the breeder behind Lagotto Amore Breeders located in Fairfield, CT. Our puppies were born on December 2nd, 2024. There are 8 puppies in the litter. Our Lagotti were very carefully selected prior to importing them from a champion breeder in Italy. Their bloodlines were carefully checked with a priority placed on their temperament – loving and kind.
Q. & A. with Mark
Why did you start breeding?
As intelligent and active, beautiful and playful animals, our family has fallen in love with the Lagotti breed.What makes your program special?
We have gone a step further than the standard US breeder exams - prior to breeding, their DNA testing was completed to confirm their purebred and genetic authenticity. The test checked for 210 key genetic variables. Both Mocha and Romeo passed without exception and we will, of course, share these reports upon request.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
