Comes home a puppy of Lagotto
Table of Contents
The day a little lagotto dog arrives at home
Finally came the day to pick up our puppy Lagotto Romagnolo. It is a special day for the family who adoptes the puppy. After so much waiting and preparations the day is finally came and the family is increased. It’s a special day for us too. By one side we have a little displeasure for the detachment from the puppy who we have grown since the first moment of his life. On the other side we are happy for the family who adopts our puppy. In the new house often he is the only curly child. It is inevitable and even right that it is so. We must not forget, however, today is also the day the puppy leaves the brothers and mother and also us. The family on two legs that with love and patience has always found close to him. We are sure soon he will be a very nice Lagotto Romagnolo. We worked hard because he was ready to face this moment and start his story. Our puppy often immediatly understands what is going on, and a little tension we see appear in his expressions. A tough day for our puppy. The first trip in the car, the new house and the new friends, all in one.
How to prepare for arrival at home
Let’s get ready for the trip. If we will have a long journey we will need a dog carrier. Conversely the trip may be an opportunity to pamper and reassure our puppy. Holding him in ours arms he will understand soonly that all the attentions now are only for him. On arrival at home we will let find to him a dog bed where he could feel himself comfortable. The water bowl must not be missing.
The changing feeding is the reason of intestinal discomfort that is best avoided. The feeding must be specific for puppies and hight quality. A blanket or a fabric game can help for the first few days and during the trip to feel less detachment. We will rub the blanket over the mother so that the smell can be something familiar. In the following days we will have to respect his moments of rest. The children will have to placate their enthusiasm and we will always privilege the serenity and tranquility of the Lagotto puppy.
The next days upon the arrival at home.
We will proceed by degrees, without haste in all new situations. The puppy will soon have to assimilate the rules of the family. Everyone will have to keep the same attitude especially on the wrong behaviors. Soon we will begin to let him know the world around him. Short moments to meet new humans and new furry friends. We must not exaggerate, we will have time to let everyone know our wonderfull Lagotto Romagnolo.
The experiences to be done and those to be avoided
Our puppy Lagotto play with other dogs is fun for him and also for us. There are many stimuli the puppy receives in these moments. Experiences that contribute to the formation of character and socialization.
The pupies often plays lively and it can be dangerous for him. Its bone structure is not fully developed and could be in risk by exaggerated movements or by blows received playing.
The puppy can attend only dogs definitely vaccinated until has notm concluded the protocoll of vaccines.
To teach the puppy not to do the needs at home we will need of patience and constancy. Only one recommendation: do not grumble the puppy up to 4 months of age. Puppies don’t controll these needs. Grumbling or having intimidating attitudes, will only help you to have a bad relationship with yours Lagotto Romagnolo.
Socializing for the temperament of the Lagotto Romagnolo puppy
Table of Contents
Socializing Your Puppy Is Health
Paying the utmost attention to the socialization of puppies is essential.
During the time that the puppies are in breeding, the foundations are laid for their adult character. Well socialized puppies that as adults will be Lagotto Romagnolo balanced.
Working on the character of the litter is expensive in every sense. It takes passion and seriousness.
We have to be there every day and commit ourselves to increasing the puppy’s wealth of experience. Experiences he will carry with him for the rest of his life.
In the growing phases of the litter, there comes a time when every novelty is taken from the chest by the puppy. It won’t always be like that. That’s why it’s important to be there when your puppy is ready for the new.
Intervening in this period is a great opportunity to improve the temperament of the Lagotto Romagnolo.
The time lost is not always able to recover. For this reason we try to keep the puppies in breeding with their mothers until the 70th day. It would also be more comfortable and less expensive for us to entrust our puppies to the 60th day as the law allows.
Our puppies of Lagotto Romagnolo must have the best.
A socialized puppy does not mean that he is a puppy who has known other dogs or people. A socialized puppy is a dog that is well.
In these terms we must see the socialization and character of the Lagotto Romagnolo. A decisive element in defining a healthy puppy.
Every single puppy will have to be understood. We will be ready to intervene so that everyone can develop their own discretion.
A puppy in full confidence with the ability to distinguish and choose.
A Lagotto Romagnolo puppy capable of finding the right solutions to face new experiences and with the strength to practice them.
How the puppy’s character is formed
The character of the Lagotto Romagnolo as an adult depends on many factors. Genetics plays its part. Knowing the character of the parents is one of our tasks. The character passes from parents to children, and this is the first brick to put in for the character and health of the puppies.
Then comes our time. Following a path of growth that is not only about food. The puppies from the first days of life will have to be handled.
And then they will have to attend men, women and children. Familiarize yourself with the noise of the house.
And then get to know other animals, other dogs. Dogs of different breed and sex, their world must soon expand.
Puppies go through a phase where they are open to everything. They gladly accept the reproaches of adult dogs, of their mother and quickly, without fear, they distinguish between what is to be done and what is not.
Putting the nose in the bowl of the pack leader is something not to be done, even as an adult.
By frequenting other dogs, they learn this at the right time here. No adult dog would bite a puppy, but education is demanded. Now is the time to learn.
It is depressing for puppies to see only the person who brings them food two or three times a day.
It’s depressing to think of puppies raised this way.
Breeding beautiful puppies for character
Our Lagotto Romagnolo puppies grow up at home. We want them to meet people and children from birth.
Our puppies stay at home even when living together becomes difficult. We extend their stay at home until the puppies are physically and mentally ready to stay out with their mothers.
Once the puppies can live in the garden, new experiences will begin.
They will know the pack leader, the adoptive father of all our puppies. This is very educational for them. All out, all together to get strength, games and fights between brothers and then all on the adult dogs. You are a spectacle!
The mother must always be present. It is she who educates and helps her puppies in moments of fear. Everything happens naturally with the mother.
The presence of the mother gives security to her litter. Going out of your kennel, walking in the garden is easier for the puppy.
The imprinting phase lasts up to about 12 weeks. Our puppies are already in their new families. Now it’s up to them to continue with the puppy’s education. We will always be there to help our puppies and their new family.
Our breeding Lagotto Romagnolo
Our breeding Lagotto Romagnolo:
is located in Mugello, in the province of Florence and therefore in Tuscany. It is the Regions that draw up the regulations for the protection and keeping of animals.
For the custody of our dogs, we have reserved spaces larger than those provided for by the relevant laws issued by the Region of Tuscany. Since we are always present in the kennel, it is our home, our Italian water Dogs live with us in our garden or at home.
The spaces we have reserved for them are used exclusively for night shelter or to manage possible needs. Contingencies of cohabitation such as separating puppies from adults or rainy weather situations. We are an amateur breeders with the intention of maintaining our family dimension. The only way to consolidate a daily relationship with our friends.
The structure of our breeding
For our dogs we have opted for fences. Having space available and believing that logistics and accommodation can affect the quality of life and avoid stress due to staying in the box.
Even if little used, such spaces are indispensable for the management of our Lagotto Romagnolo. Our dogs mainly live with us all day long.
As in a tourist village we have built some beautiful terraced houses. The houses are always tidy, with a stall, a hedge and trees to provide shady areas.
Inside each fence we have created smaller enclosures used when necessary or at mealtimes.
Every Lagotto Romagnolo must be able to eat peacefully, at its own time. We want to avoid mechanisms whereby those who have finished eating in their own bowl approach another’s bowl.
Once the meal is over, everyone returns to live the spaces made available to them. Inside the cottages we find two separate spaces with a kennel. Even at night our dogs must be able to choose to sleep next to each other. Or each dog can sleep in its own kennel.
Pregnancy management
In one of the houses we have made permanent delivery boxes. They are used to manage the litter when it has reached the moment of being able to live outdoors.
We squeeze in a little, but it is important for the future mother to become familiar with the environment where she will have to give birth to our puppies. In the house she will be able to follow her litter until the puppies are ready for their first outing.
Why one of our Lagotto Romagnolo
The Lagotto Romagnolo is an Italian breed with ancient origins. It was born as an aquatic carry dog. Following changes in the territory of origin it has seen its use change.
For years, perhaps even decades, the Lagotto Romagnolo has been crossed with dogs of other breeds. Mainly truffle hunters in search of the dog with wide and meticulous search characteristics when needed. The Lagotto Romagnolo has risked extinction.
The work to recover the purity of the Lagotto Romagnolo began in the 70s. There were not many specimens. By analysing the pedigrees with the highest degree of genealogy, we can easily see how dogs are often recurrent.
From these few lines on the origins of the breed, we can understand why pedigree and health must be taken into consideration when we talk about the Lagotto Romagnolo dog.
Table of Contents
Lagotto Romagnolo: Health
The Lagotto Romagnolo is a rustic and resistant dog, but in the genesis of the breed there are some pathologies that we take into consideration.
Lagotto Romagnolo: Pedigree
In a breeding farm, pedigree is not a piece of paper to add to the dog. It is a work and selection tool. It is important for the morphology, character, health and working attitude of the dog.
Having a Lagotto Romagnolo puppy without pedigree is to all intents and purposes like not having a Lagotto Romagnolo. From the pedigree it is possible to obtain information on bloodlines and degrees of kinship.
Lagotto Romagnolo: Character
Character is one of the strong points of this breed. To form the character of a puppy it is decisive how it is raised in its first weeks of life. Happy and socialised puppies is our main goal.
In our amateur kennel we have few litters per year. We choose the matings to have also in the puppies excellent character potential.
To breed the Lagotto Romagnolo we need to know the breed. The blood lines, the morphology and how to raise Lagotto Romagnolo puppies with a special character.
Continuous Behavioral Availability
For the love of each of our puppies we will always be available. At the disposal of new owners with competence and experience.
We have been living with our Lagotto Romagnolo for years and we study every aspect of the breed.
With the Lagotto Romagnolo we go truffle hunting. We have trained many Lagotto Romagnolo truffle breed. Experience that we make available to the owners of our puppies.
Puppies are not all the same. Each one has its own personality. We know each of our puppies since birth and this can help in their education.
In the family we have the expertise of a dog instructor and a veterinarian.
Lagotto Romagnolo: Choice of puppy
It is his talent as a truffle hunter that endangers the quality of life in the Lagotto Romagnolo. At certain times of the year, the white truffle season, it is precisely his life that is at risk.
These are the reasons that push us to select the owners of our puppies.
They are very happy if our puppies give vent to their hunting skills. But only if they are run by people who love them first.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is a dog that adapts well to the most varied situations and often our support for the choice of puppy is not necessary.
Other times, the space available, the composition of the family or the expectations of the owners lead to choosing the puppy together.
Truffle Italia water Dog
Lagotto Romagnolo is the recognised specialist in truffle hunting. This is its temperament. In our breeding we introduce all our puppies to the scent of truffles.
Often the owners of our puppies make unexpected discoveries. After the purchase, for the love of their dog and out of curiosity, they decide to start the hobby of truffle hunting. What could be better!
Our idea of breeding
We started breeding with after having gained experience, knowledge and skills. In this path of growth we have been helped by great people, serious breeders and true dog lovers. We became real friends with them. Immediately in tune because they are animated by the same passion than us. We are informed and we have deepened every single aspect of breeding.
We certainly do not breed by necessity, it is a passion that takes us a lot of time, day and night..
Our dogs are family members. As such they need attention and time, just like children.
Requirements of our litters Lagotto Romagnolo
In order to breed with a certain continuity we need a certain number of females. Our ambitions remain to have few well-bred litters and with all the requirements of health and morphology. With this statement we mean:
Commitment and time, expenses and risks that without a doubts we support because it is the least for our dogs, their puppies and the families who welcome them. When we finally get the desired results, we feel more than satisfied.
Dog Shows and information
From time to time we do not subtract ourself from showing our Lagotto Romagnolo to expert judges of the breed. Skills, attitudes and morphology are assessed. The purpose of these exits, stressful for our dogs at least as they are for us, it is not the attainment of goals of beauty or work. We already believe in what we are doing.
Unfortunately we note daily how little information there is in the canine field. Even us try every day to learn and improve ourselves. As far as possible we try to divulge our notions too. Information on the health, character and education of dogs and Lagotto Romagnolo in particular. This aspect is also part of our idea of breeding.
Lagotto Romagnolo as a pet dog
The Lagotto Romagnolo has a mild temperament, a balanced character and is linked to its master. Loyal and loving, he is an ideal pet dog for the family and suitable for children. The picture of the Lagotto and the Child on the cover is of our “Valle dei Medici Heros” in the Yago house with our nephew Ettore and kindly granted by his family.
The Lagotto since he was a puppy loves to play. For training he uses this temperament. He can carry out the most demanding obedience commands without any effort.
At its origin the Lagotto Romagnolo was an excellent dog to bring back. This characteristic of his is still very much alive today, we can spend hours throwing an object at him and having him brought back to us.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is not a demanding dog. It knows how to stay in its place until it is decided that its time has come, provided that it arrives anyway.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is defined as a working dog. In reality, it is a dog that knows how to please its owner, which is why we find it in manifestations of agility, obedience. Whatever the job for Lagotto Romagnolo is, it’s a game.
With its small size it is suitable for living at home, it is not a barking dog. Its diffusion in Italy but also abroad, is having an exponential growth, thanks to its increasingly appreciated qualities as a companion dog.
The Lagotto Romagnolo does not change its coat. Its thick and curly hair is not lost at home. Its coat has a constant growth that requires a couple of grooming per year. Also for this characteristic it is a dog increasingly sought after by those who live in flats.
Personally, I happened to see a dreadlocks style pond. Although it attracts the attention of all passers-by, let’s say it’s not exactly the best.
The Lagotto Romagnolo does not like to be scolded at all. He gets touchy, and when it happens that we have to scold him, we must never exaggerate. He understands at first and if we insist, it offends his fine intelligence.
With these qualities, the abrupt and snappy bosses are unable to have any relationship with Lagotto Romagnolo. Often with no dog, but with the Lagotto they are really incompatible.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is endowed with enormous patience and intelligence. Qualities of which it is fully aware and for this reason it knows how to wait for the moment of play or pampering.
It can stare at you tirelessly for hours with languid eyes, and when called for two caresses or to play or for a walk, in a few moments it becomes very active, wags its tail and shows all its happiness.
Sharp enough to understand from your outfit what is about to happen…get out, and go!!!
