How to Adopt a Lagotto Romagnolo Puppy from Italy: The Valle dei Medici Guide

Are you looking for an authentic Lagotto Romagnolo puppy for sale directly from its homeland? Bringing a puppy home from Italy is a unique experience. At Valle dei Medici, located in the beautiful hills of Tuscany near Florence, we make international adoption seamless, safe, and exciting for families across Europe.

The Power of Origins: Why Buy an Italian Breed Directly from Italy?

Adopting a native dog breed directly from its country of origin offers unparalleled advantages.

When you buy an Italian breed like the Lagotto Romagnolo directly in Italy, you are tapping into the primary source of the breed’s standard and its largest, most diverse gene pool. Italy holds the richest genetic diversity for this breed. This variety is essential for avoiding inbreeding, preserving robust health, and ensuring absolute breed purity.

Italian breeders live and breathe the history of these dogs, making Italy the only place where you can truly secure the authentic rustic beauty of a true Lagotto. Choosing a puppy from its motherland means bringing home an unmatched example of breed tipicity and a living piece of Italian history.

The True Italian Heritage & Genetic Preservation

The Lagotto Romagnolo is world-famous as the curly-haired Italian truffle dog. Because the Lagotto is a specialized breed with a relatively limited gene pool worldwide, securing a puppy directly from its country of origin is crucial.

By choosing a puppy from Valle dei Medici in Italy, you access authentic, deep-rooted bloodlines that preserve the breed’s original health, morphology, and balanced temperament. Our puppies are raised in the open air of the Mugello valley, ensuring they grow up happy, highly socialized, and ready to adapt perfectly to your family life abroad. You can learn more about our philosophy and everyday life on our About Us page.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.  I feel incredibly lucky to have found David. From the very first exchange, the process was calm, thoughtful, and deeply professional. What stood out immediately was how seriously he takes matching the right puppy with the right family. This was never about a transaction.

From the moment we picked him up, our Lagotto was remarkably balanced, confident, and emotionally settled. No frantic behavior, no fear, just curiosity and ease. He truly feels like a dream come true, and that does not happen by chance.

It is very clear how much care, experience, and intention goes into how these dogs are raised in those early weeks. That foundation matters more than people realize.

I also felt genuinely supported throughout. I know I could reach out at any time and be met with care and clarity, but the transition has been so smooth that it has hardly been necessary.

If you are looking for a breeder who prioritizes the well being of the dogs, thoughtful matching, and long term outcomes over volume or speed, I cannot recommend David highly enough.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.  Abbiamo preso una cucciola di Lagotto meravigliosa in questo allevamento immerso nel verde. Yuri (David) e Martina amano i loro cani e crescono i cuccioli con profondo amore, passione e professionalità. Hanno scelto loro la cucciola per noi secondo le nostre caratteristiche e secondo le esigenze del cane e Mina, la nostra cucciola, è molto equilibrata, ubbidiente, intelligente e dolcissima. Perfetta per noi e, infatti, dopo meno di una settimana si è ambientata totalmente a casa nostra donandoci allegria e infinite coccole. Yuri e Martina ci hanno dedicato il tempo necessario per farci conoscere la razza e darci tutte le indicazioni necessarie per accogliere al meglio in casa la nostra cucciola. Ci davano aggiornamenti sulla sua crescita e sono molto disponibili sempre a darci indicazioni e consigli. Grazie infinite per tutto.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.  Nel cuore della splendida campagna del Mugello, si trova l'allevamento di lagotti di David e Martina. In questa sorta di paradiso terrestre, nascono e vengono cresciuti (in genere per almeno 70 giorni) questi cuccioli. Cresciuti vuol dire seguiti, giorno dopo giorno, con amore, attenzione e pazienza. Infatti, quello che rende unico questo allevamento è l'amore e la cura che David e Martina, insieme ai loro figli, danno ai loro lagotti. Il risultato sono degli splendidi esemplari di Lagotto che crescono sani, robusti e con un ottimo carattere. Il nostro Jazz ha 6 mesi e mezzo e non c è persona che non si complimenti per quanto è bello e simpatico (fa le feste anche agli estranei che incontra per strada). É molto vivace e dinamico (più di noi, sua nuova famiglia!) e molto affettuoso. Anche ora, mentre sto scrivendo questa recensione, è sdraiato ai miei piedi a sonnecchiare, ma basta che mi alzi, anche solo per andare in bagno e lui mi segue come un ' ombra! Merito di David e Martina che fanno di un lavoro,  soprattutto una passione, e tutto l' amore che ci mettono si trasmette a tutti i loro cuccioli.
Grazie di cuore ☺️.
Luca e Caterina.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.  David and Martina really care about their dogs, and are always ready to answer questions that come up. It's an adventure to raise a Lagotto, but my vetmed and trainer have both said very positive things about my pup and her development, now 13 months. I'm glad I chose David and Martina as my breeder and if I was ever wild enough to get a second dog, I'd be glad to go back to them.

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.  I can highly recommend David and Valle dei Medici! Just hit the two months mark with Lola and couldn't have asked for a better Lagotto puppy. David's website is a wealth of information on the Lagotto breed - he is also extremely accommodating in terms of updates and questions.

If you are considering a Lagotto puppy, please read David's website, and then look no further than Valle dei Medici, they are the best!

 Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.  We are truly grateful to this kennel for the wonderful puppy we welcomed into our family ten months ago. We had been preparing for this step for several years – traveling all the way from Lithuania to Italy – and it was one of the best journeys of our lives. We brought home a little bundle of joy who has since become a loyal, cheerful, caring, and very beloved member of our family.

Thank you so much for choosing such a perfect puppy for us – he is simply amazing!
With love and gratitude,
Valdas & Diana
