Squisito Lagotti
Meet the breeder
I'm Christine M., the breeder behind Squisito Lagotti located in Knoxville, TN. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience! Occasionally we find it necessary to place our older dogs in new homes. They have earned a special place were they will get all the attention, go for rides and walks, visit friends, take trips. Being retired show dogs makes all those activities a natural behavior. No training necessary. The average age is 3-5 years of age.
