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

They really don’t shed at all. They are hypoallergenicTHAT'S a cute pup! Just curious, do they shed hair less than most breeds?
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.Very cute.
Never heard of that breed. Is it a new breed?
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.Not new, just pretty rare I suppose. They are from Italy.

Yea the doodle trend is really popular right now. This guys not any part poodle though. Just looks similar.Cute dog. I've seen a ton of poodle based dogs people are getting lately. I assume, it's the shedding deal.
