More: This is a breed that dates back to the 13th century. https://g.co/kgs/mDtQuA My dogs are often mistaken for recently bred dogs such as the goldendoodles or the labradoodles or any kind of doodle. Also my dogs are occasionally mistaken for poodles which are only about 150 years old whereas my dog's date back over 600 years. These particular fellas come from a letter that has pedigree going back 26 generations. And the breeder went to Northern Italy to bring back a puppy of the original stock that dates back again several hundred years.
