Lagotto Romagnolo

The Lagotto Romagnolo, whose name means “water dog,” are gun dogs with an Italian origin. They are water retrievers that can bring back an animal to a hunter without killing them. This dog breed comes with a rustic appearance, and they have a strong bone structure.

They have a wool-like coat, for their hair is tightly curled. The Lagotto Romagnolo is often off-white, solid brown, or solid orange. They can have brown or orange patches as well. Their lifespans average 15 years, and such a breed can develop idiopathic epilepsy and cerebellar abiotrophy.
