mission statement
The Association exists for the benefit of its Members and the Committee aims to promote participation in the training, showing, working, breeding and other canine activities as well as encouraging good health management for the breed.
The Lagotto Romagnolo was originally bred as a water retriever and is used as a truffle hunter in some European countries. These characteristics should be preserved and developed. Advice on any topic related to the Lagotto is freely available to members at all times.
Membership is open to Lagotto enthusiasts wherever they live, upon payment of an annual membership subscription (TBA).
