The Lagotto Romagnolo, often called the Lagotto or Romagna Water Dog, is a beloved breed with a rich history.
The Lagotto Romagnolo originates from the Romagna region of Italy, where it was historically used as a water retriever for ducks and other game in marshlands. Over time, as marshes were drained and hunting needs declined, breeders adapted the Lagotto for truffle hunting, a role it still excels in today. This breed has been known in Italy since at least the 16th century and is recognized for its keen sense of smell, curly coat, and working versatility. Its name, Lagotto, comes from the Italian word lago, meaning “lake,” highlighting its early role in marshy environments.
