Lakeside Lagotto
Meet the breeder
I'm Gail K., the breeder behind Lakeside Lagotto located in Lords Valley, PA. We are a small, home-based kennel breeding for temperament and the overall quality of the Lagotto Romagnolo. We are dedicated to providing wonderful puppies to wonderful forever families. Our dogs are all health certified and raised in a loving home. Our commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly adoption experience.
Q. & A. with Gail
Why did you start breeding?
I began showing my dogs in AKC and UKC shows. My male was the best of the breed in several AKC shows. Knowing that I had a dog that met standards, as well as being a service dog for me, I traveled to Italy to purchase the sister of the Best Intermediate dog in Italy in 2017 and 2018. She is a beautiful brown/roan Lagotto. There is a tremendous demand for this breed, but very few breeders. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Lagotto Romagnolos for others to enjoy and do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.What makes your program special?
I am a "home breeder." Both my dogs and puppies live in a loving home environment until puppies are picked up by their new forever parents. I use Puppy Culture as a basis for raising quality, sweet puppies that are socialized with adults, children, and other dogs. My dogs are able to run and play in over an acre of land and swim in the lake. We are dedicated to continuing our phenomenal bloodlines in an effort to provide our Lagotto families with loving, healthy, and happy puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
