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.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Tesoro Riccio reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Lagotti Romagnoli.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Lagotto Storage Disease (LSD), Benign Familial Juvenile Epilepsy (BFJE)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
