Q. & A. with Natalie
Why did you start breeding?
I started eight years ago in deciding what kind of breed I would like to get and took lot of research and talking with breeders, after I found the Lagotto Romagnolo I just fall in love with this breed. After I find a breeder that trust me with one of her puppies I still need to be in a waiting list and finally I get my Lagotto in 2020! After I got Eliana we’re being traveling, in Conformation Seminar, Regular Training, Scent Work. Is a delightful have a family pet ready to go with you all.What makes your program special?
The Lagotto Romagnolo is the one that make my program special, I am dedicated in starting doing all healthy testing, choosing a great Stud to complement our dam. And the wish to share this magnificent breed.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, brown roan, orange, brown, and off-white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
