We decided to add a second four legged friend to our family today. Meet Enzo. He’s a Lagotto Romagnolo.

THAT'S a cute pup! Just curious, do they shed hair less than most breeds?

They really don’t shed at all. They are hypoallergenic

Very cute. I've never heard of the breed

Nice!! The older I get the more I like puppies and hate people! Ours is just out of the chewing phase so now we get to replace all the couches!

Very cute.
Never heard of that breed. Is it a new breed?

Not new, just pretty rare I suppose. They are from Italy. Hundreds of years ago they were water fowl retrievers, then the area they were native to drained all the marsh land. So they were repurposed to find/dig up truffles. They are basically the original water dog and now primarily used for truffle hunting. In the 1970’s they got down to around 30 left in the world due to people cross breeding them for their nose. Efforts were made to bring them back in the past few decades but they still aren’t really popular. Our vet has never seen one in 40 years of being a vet.

Cute dog. I've seen a ton of poodle based dogs people are getting lately. I assume, it's the shedding deal.

We’re getting another Pastore Abbruzzese pup at the end of the month, also an Italian breed. We’ve had Thor for about 8 years. His little sister is being flown in to either New York, or Newark.
