These dogs have a well known history as Italy’s prized water retrievers\, dating back to at least the 16th century. Their curly coats were well-suited to retrieving waterfowl in the wetlands of Emilia-Romagna. Over the centuries\, Lagotto Romagnolos were gradually refined into the versatile companions they are today. \nDevoted Lagotto Romagnolo breeders like ourselves work to keep the breed thriving.
