INCAVALE Lagottos & Spanish Water Dogs

Thank you for  making contact. Please read  through the information as it will give you an understanding of our philosophy on owning a dog & we hope answers some of the questions you may have.
​We are ANKC registered dog breeders of  ANKC registered Gun Dogs & ANKC registered Working Dogs. Our membership number is 2100049404.  
We are dog lovers,  members of  Dogs NSW & a number of specialty dog clubs &  dog training  clubs.
We have owned, trained, shown, trialed, worked & bred dogs  for many years & our dogs are regulars on the show circuit & compete in many other disciplines.
Our ANKC Gun Dog breed of choice is the Lagotto Romagnolo,  & Our Working Dog breed breed is now Spanish Water Dogs,  which we imported from Europe in September & October of 2018, and we have had Working Line & Show Line German Shepherd Dogs for many years.

We live S W of Sydney about an hour from the CBD & approx. 2 hours from Canberra on some acres that is a work in progress for the benefit of the dogs, other domestic animals and the native animals that share the land with us.
​The property is adjacent to native bush, creeks & rivers, not too far from the coast & an ideal environment to  train our dogs & raise and educate pups which we have from time to time .
We take no shortcuts in the care & welfare of our dogs & pups.
​We welcome those of you interested in the breeds to visit us, but by appointment. 
Indeed if you have an interest in buying one of our pups we recommend you arrange to meet with us face to face, well before pups become available.
We have a responsible & defined breeding programme that results in healthy pups with personality & character, fit for work, sport, or as family pets.
We subscribe to the Volhard and the neurological  stimulation tests & processes.
​Our pups when available are always ANKC registered on Main Register from health tested & DNA tested parents.
We ensure their physical & mental development by raising pups in our home, & from 5 weeks they spend time every day, weather permitting, in a special area next to the house. Our pups are socialised with our other dogs, goats, cattle  & horses when on the property, as well as extended family members. 
​Before leaving to new homes [from 8 weeks of age], they will also have been health tested by our Vets, vaccinated at 6 weeks, & microchipped at 7 weeks. Their second vaccinations will be due when 12 weeks of age & a third vaccination is done at 16 weeks of age.
We remind those interested in a pup, that the first 16 weeks of their lives is a most critical time.
We have them for 8 weeks and then the responsibility rests with you to develop the potential of that pup.
Feel free to call or email us if you are doing research on the breeds we keep, as a possible addition to your family unit.

We see merit in showing quite a few dogs & having them titled as well as encouraging & mentoring buyers of our puppies to a variety of dog sports as this we believe, shows the diversity we offer to our chosen breeds in Australia.
It's important for prospective Lagotto and Spanish Water Dogs owners to  understand that these breeds really are 'working' dogs, require time, effort and ongoing training. They are NOT lap dogs & are NOT low maintenance dogs. 
​We suggest to you that the most important considerations when looking for a Lagotto pup or a SWD pup to join your family, is not the colour of the pup, but the temperament and character. Please bear this in mind.
They need ongoing 'balanced' training & NOT 'positive only' training and the training does not stop at  puppy preschool graduation.
You need time & commitment & if you don't have the skill set, then we can recommend professional dog trainers using balanced training methods, to you. 
​​UTD information is usually available on our FaceBook pages - Incavale Lagottos and on www.leatherworksfordogs.com or the LeatherWorksForDogs FB page.
