We are a small breeder of nationally ranked Lagotto Romagnolo.  Rather than keep our dogs in a kennel, we carefully select local homes that we feel would make excellent candidates to raise our best puppies.  This allows our girls the best of both worlds, they get to experience the wonder of raising their own litters while still enjoying the loving attention of a family of their own.

​

We retain breeding rights to these dogs and this means that we will have these dogs return to live with us at the right time on four separate occasions, so that they can raise their puppies.  Each time takes about two months - until puppies are weaned and ready for their new homes.  This is done under contract.  While parting with your dog several times in the first 4 years of her life may be challenging for some, the advantages are many:

 

• For those who live in our area, they can skip the 12+ month waitlist and potentially have a puppy quickly.

• The cost of our breeding dogs is ultimately half of what we charge for their littermates.

• We will always take your dog back if needed for any reason.

​

We are choosey, cautious and careful about finding the right homes and the right fit that we feel we can work with.  If you think that this may be you, please feel free to contact us at nwlagotto@gmail.com and place the words "Local home for Breeding dog" in the subject line.

​

We look forward to hearing from you.
