Meet the breeder
I'm James W., the breeder behind Moreno Casa De Honos located in Elgin, TX. The Lagotto Romagnolo, Italy’s adorable “truffle dog,” sports a curly coat and lavish facial furnishings. Despite their plush-toy looks, Lagotti are durable workers of excellent nose who root out truffles, a dainty and pricey delicacy.
