Hi, I’m Gia!

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life (mainly Labrador Retrievers). When it came time for me to finally have a dog of my very own, I thought it would be a good time for a change. As a mother and homemaker, I realized that combining a constantly shedding dog with my highly allergic husband and kids was going to be “less than ideal”. While scrolling Instagram, I stumbled upon the Lagotto Romagnolo, a breed that I had never heard of before. I wasn’t even sure how to properly pronounce the name!

(Lah-Go-Tow Row-Man-Yo-Low in case you were curious)

At first I was intrigued, but after almost 4 years researching the breed (!!!), I knew deep in my heart that I had found a winner. This was it. This Italian Truffle Hunter was surely the perfect breed for us. Sure enough, I was right!

Unsurprisingly, the first time I ever saw a Lagotto, in person, was the day we picked up our first puppy (Kenzie), and from that moment on I was in love! Lagottos have amazingly loving and playful personalities, beautiful curls that barely shed, and their compact (dare I say PERFECT) size makes living and traveling with them a breeze!

I realize how truly blessed my family became after finding such great dogs and we want to help make this breed available to be a blessing for more families like ours.

Word of advice: Get comfortable with the phrase, “It’s not a Doodle”
