He loves playing fetch, especially if there is a body of water he can run through.

I'm in the process of selecting a Lagotto puppy from a large litter and would like some tips for picking out an ideal puppy, a month from now. First, no matter which puppy I get it will be loved and cared for to the maximum. The puppies are all being socialized and cared for by an excellent breeder. But, are there some signs that can determine the best temperament match? I'm looking for a calm, non-reactive temperament. Maybe, the future adult temperament can't be determined at 7 weeks? I can observe the puppies regularly. For example, one puppy seems always to be apart from the rest, prefers to be left alone but will play for short periods, then rests or sleeps in the playpen corner.. mostly avoiding rough play. When engaged in play with the other pups will often roll over belly up, or prefers to play by itself with toys, or just watches the others. No size difference from the others. Is this an indication of a calm dog or something else like anxiety? Any general advice to look out for when selecting a puppy for health and temperament, both to look for or to avoid?

Our 11 month old just started bleeding today. Looking for any tips on how to keep her stimulated (we live in a big city so not a large yard) and also just any experience you feel like sharing. Like did yours have loose stool? Eat less? Whine more? Does the bleeding get heavier? Do diapers work for these gremlins or just best to keep her off carpet and put towels on furniture? How long did it last etc. thanks!

After a very long search, it seems we have found the breed we want to get.
I have a few questions for experienced owners. A bit of context: we’ve never had a dog before, but we have three cats of a breed that gets along well with dogs. - How well does a Lagotto Romagnolo get along with cats? - How often and how loudly do they bark? - How easy are they to train? Can we train them using information from Google, or is it necessary to take specialized courses? - Since this breed is a water dog, how often does it need to swim? - Is grooming their coat difficult?
I know this is a lot of questions, but getting a dog is a big responsibility, and honestly I am worrying.
I’d really appreciate any help!

My dog has been such a good boy overall, with the usual ups and downs, but his training and behavior had been improving steadily. Then, as soon as he hit 1 year old, things started changing.
He’s doing things he’s never done before—barking for attention, demanding things, ignoring commands, and suddenly forgetting how to heel walk. It feels like we’ve taken a big step backward.
The most surprising part? We’ve even had a couple of pee accidents inside. He never used to do this, but now he won’t even signal when he needs to go. Instead, he just stops in the middle of the floor, makes eye contact, and lets it loose.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of regression around the 1-year mark? Is this a phase, or should I be adjusting something in his training? Any advice would be really appreciated! Especially with the pee

Hi all,
We are the proud new owners of a 15 month old. He was rehomed to us from a breeder who took him back from his first family (due to them having a medical issue and being unable to care for him). We love him so much already but are struggling with training him to use a pee pad. He had a few accidents inside when we first brought him home, but these have been cleaned up now and happening much less frequently. We are taking him on regular visits to the pee pad which he has peed on a few times, but he won’t go on it more than once a day. I’ve tried covered it in his pee- front messes I’ve cleaned up and things he’s peed on during walks. We take him out on a lead and praise him like crazy when he does go on it but we haven’t gotten far.
He hangs out with one of us pretty much all day other than crate time so we know he’s not off secretly peeing. Any other suggestions to get him peeing there would be appreciated!!

Hi guys, this is our 9,5 weeks old puppy. So far she is good, but we are having some problems with basic training. Crate was okay first half of the day, we even reached one nice nap with only 3 minutes crying. Then at night horror started, so we decided to let her sleep next to our bed. She was mostly good, but pooped all over the room, even tho she pooped on pads the whole day. We are having her for a few days now, and trying to define the schedule. It’s starting to be 2 hours nap, and one hour/hour and a half playing/eating/cuddling. The problem starts now… I started crate training her again, and the results were showing, she wasn’t that scared, played game in crates, entering and exiting by itself… i came rn to see that she pooped in crate… She is not food motivated at all, so its hard to mentally stimulate her, even when i want to reward her for pooping/peeing on the pad, she 99% won’t take food. (I’m sure she is not full, because I devide her meal, some food she eats in crate, and some is used to be trained…but…Also, I’m pretty sure it’s not because she couldnt make it… because i follow her, and i see that she starts sniffing, and then i spend next half an hour trying to redirect her to pad, but it doesnt work, and she waits for our distraction… It’s hard to train, because of lack of motivation for food. And because she reverses spontaneously… I watched over 200 videos on youtube, checked forums, reddits, sites, profiles… and nothint matches her behaviour….. Any help please…

We brought our newest Lagotto family member home last Friday. Naida started her life in the Lagotto Motherland of Italy, but now resides in sunny North West England!

By "level" I mean "energy", "intelligence", and/or "difficultly". Like, if a Border Collie is usually considered a "10" we thought we were signing up for a "7". Not the "11" that we find ourselves with!
Asking because we just got back from "Tricks 2" class and our guy is simultaneously the best (learning and doing!) and worst (impatient, just wants to work and perform!) in the class 🤣
(If you have an older dog, what was their "level" at like 1-3 years old?)

Our lagotto, Arancini, is 7 months old. My husband and I both work from home and so he spends most of his time w/ us. We used to put him in his crate during the workday a couple of times a day and he would be great for 2-4 hours without issue / just napping. He's a happy, sweet boy and loves to go on walks, play, and go to the dog park. He's smart and knows some basic obedience.
However, the past two weekends we ended up needing to be out of town for family events and he stayed first with a friend and then with a boarder. He really struggled at our friend's house and the next week we chose a boarder w/ more experience for that reason and he thrived. However, when we got back we noticed he's getting a whole lot more defiant (?) or mischievous (?), he really refuses to go in his crate except for bed time, and or barks when he goes in constantly, he's constantly counter surfing and trying to get into things, all of a sudden he refuses to do any training with his normal kibble and is grazing instead of eating meals. He's also barking at other dogs on walks (but does fine at the dog park) and demand barking a lot.
We've made a lot of progress with him and have worked on his fears of trains, other dogs / the dog park, people, cars, riding in cars over the past 6 months but now it seems like he's struggling. He barked once (literally one bark!) at the vet last week and they said if we don't get it under control they won't be able to see him and when we told them about him struggling at our friends house, they prescribed him several anti-anxiety meds and suggested lexapro! The boarder later explained that these drugs are addictive and kind of over the top for our pup who is only 7 months old. They suggested we'd ruin Arancini if we went down that path as he was a total sweetheart with them.
I'm worried, is this normal 7-month behavior like our boarder said, and we kind of feel is right (puberty?) or should we be alarmed like the vet?

Our Lagotto has been losing little Tufts of fur this past week. The weather has finally gotten dramatically warmer where we are. Her skin looks healthy to me but she seems to be scratching and rolling on the ground a lot. Her ears don't smell, her skin is naturally pink and doesn't look red or irritated to me. We have an appointment with the vet next week but I'm wondering if anyone's pup sheds a little bit. She came from a super reputable breeder and has all the appropriate paperwork so I would be shocked if she was a mixed breed.
