Not only, will a Lagotto launch itself into any puddle or lake with excitement, but it will also take any opportunity to dig. And digging they do, like no other breed. Depths of 1.5m are not unusual for a trained truffle dog, whose trained nose will let him pin-point the elusive white truffle that growns deep down in damp soil, as well as the easier to find black summer truffle that is often found at the surface.

High prices are achieved for pedigree certified dogs selected as pets due to their extremely playful and gentle nature and their anti-allergenic coats making them the perfect family dog. Truffle hunters however, are less impressed by pedigree certificates, though they are found widely amongst the specific truffle dog breeders. Truffle hunters chose their dog on the basis of its long and well-known truffle hunting blood line. The selection goes by word-by-mouth amongst the trifolai and where grand-dad already took his dogs from. Quality, ability and a healthy trusted blood-line count for more than a website and show rosettes. This however, makes it difficult to find authentic truffle dog lines from abroad or out of popular truffle hunting regions. Local knowledge, expertise and connections are required to source the best truffle dogs, and this is where we can help you find your perfect truffle adventure companion and organise all necessary paperwork. We work with reputable and passionate breeders with pedigree and a pure Lagotto DNA line is guaranteed.
