Lagotto Meetup In Las Vegas

April 26th, 2010 § 0 comments § permalink

My family and I had the wonderful privilege of meeting up with a group of Lagotto in Las Vegas. This gang of four made the four hour trek from their home so we could meet them. The pack included the all white Apollon, the brown/white Barbelo, and the beautiful roan girls Dei Dea and Oma.

Since this was the first time anyone in my family had meet a Lagotto we were very excited. I was particularly impressed by their different coat types and their wonderful dispositions. Everyone including dogs particularly liked the birthday party. The party was for three of the dogs as their birthdays are in April.

Must Haves In a Breeder

March 26th, 2010 § 0 comments § permalink

Today in a Lagotto email list I responded to a request for the 5 must haves in selecting a breeder.

  1. Someone who is passionate (but realistic) about the breed and just as passionate about the well being of their own dogs i.e., actively competing, hip-tested, JE tested, 3 generation pedigree
  2. Ability to handle an international transaction with integrity, knowledge, and utmost care for the puppy
  3. Fairly priced
  4. Solid references
  5. In-house dogs as family pets and in-house raised puppies

Here are some of the off-putting practices I’ve seen with some of the breeders I’ve ran across:

  1. Overwhelming contracts that seem to be in the interest of the breeder rather than in the interests of the breed, the puppy, or the buyer
  2. Poor communication, slow responses
