An unexpected beginning

We found the breed we didn't know we were looking for.

What began as a search for a clean, healthy, non-shedding family dog became a lasting commitment to the Lagotto Romagnolo.

Their intelligence, warm spirit and versatility won us over. Laodicea grew from a desire to thoughtfully introduce more families to this remarkable ancient Italian breed—while helping it develop with confidence, sound health and wonderful temperaments.

How we raise our dogs

At home, never in a kennel

A unique breeding program

A family home for every chapter.

We believe dogs do best when they are known, loved and included as members of a family. That is why our breeding dogs live in dedicated guardian homes rather than a traditional kennel.

They spend their lives with one family, returning to Laodicea only for whelping and the early weeks of raising puppies. Guardian families stay closely involved throughout—an approach that supports mom, puppies and the people who love them.

One dog. One family. A lifetime of belonging.

Meet the Lagotto

A big-hearted working dog in a wonderfully curly coat.

Ancient water retriever, celebrated truffle hunter and deeply loyal companion—the Lagotto is happiest when body, nose and mind all have something meaningful to do.

Bright by nature

Lagotti are focused, eager learners who thrive when their minds have a job to do.

Devoted companions

Affectionate and loyal, they want to be close to their people and part of everyday life.

Made to move

A sporting breed with natural agility, a remarkable nose, and a love for purposeful play.

The first weeks matter

Raised in the rhythm of real family life.

Puppies begin life in our home, handled from an early age and gently introduced to the sounds, people and experiences that help build a confident companion.
