We had kept German Shepherds for quite a few years & Judith started looking for a smaller breed of dog in 2000 realising that as we got older the Shepherds would become a significant physical strain on us.
Judith did a lot of research on breeds. We wanted a breed that was intelligent, easy to train & preferably non shedding & as we both had ANKC gun dogs at various stages of our lives, Lagottos ticked the boxes for us.
Judith made contact with Margaret Giles, a veterinarian who introduced the breed to Australia and over time we bought a number of Lagottos from Margaret & that was the start of our journey with this great breed.
We now keep females and male dogs, Judith takes a European trip every other year with the objective of purchasing quality Lagottos to widen the gene pool in Australia.
We have imported dogs from the Netherlands, Finland and Italy and recognition of our breeding programme has resulted in older pups being purchased by overseas breeders, trainers and some pet owners.
Our Lagottos have homes in Europe, the Middle East, USA, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and of course in every State in Australia.
