Meet the breeder
I'm Carolyn T., the breeder behind LambsCreek Lagotto located in Newport News, VA. Our dogs excel both in and out of the show ring. They are excellent representations of the breed and have solid temperaments. We take responsible breeding very seriously, and we’re thorough in health testing and caring for our dogs. We make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual attention that it needs to thrive, performing daily early neurological stimulation exercises and new socialization opportunities. We actively participate in performance events with our breeding stock, earning titles in front and behind their registered names. We do all that we can to prepare puppies for their future roles and families.
Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
After co-owning a top male special (Jacques), that won Best of Breed at Westminster and LRCA National Specialty in CA, we were able to get our first brood-bitch sired by Jacques. Macaroon, shown above, is a Grand Champion and has earned advanced scent work and other titles. We proofed our Lagotti in conformation (showing) and performance, as well as conducted extensive health testing on sires and dams before considering breeding. We are a small family breeder, striving to improve the health, temperament, and welfare of the breed.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
