Q. & A. with Mark
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding as a teenager, some 36 years ago. I have always loved dogs, working with them, spending time with them, and just sitting with them. I have found it incredibly rewarding to raise litters of Lagotti. They are a wonder and a joy.What makes your program special?
Far more than just raising puppies, we drive to instill in your puppy the skills they will need to make wonderful, loving companions for you. We are ethical, active, and involved breeders in good standing with the AKC, the LRCA, and the LagottoFoundation. We produce healthy, unique, top-quality dogs, with a focus on sound temperaments, increased genetic diversity, and disease-free puppies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, sable, orange roan, orange, off-white, brown roan, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
