More: Bella is our 1-year-old purebred Lagotto Romagnolo... otherwise referred to as an Italian Water Dog. Bella is a member of an ancient breed, said to be the ancestor of all water dogs. The breed was originally used as a water retrieval dog in the marshes of Romagna, Italy back in Medieval days... and was on the verge of extinction in the 1970’s but revived by a dedicated group of Italian breeders. Today this rare dog breed has turned its nose to hunting truffles and is the only dog breed recognized for the job. This amazing girl is small and muscular, with curly waterproof hair and a great disposition. Just one look into her big eyes and you will quickly realize she is an attentive, loving and enthusiastic dog! We love her so... and hope you will fall in love with her too.
