Tuscany Lagottos: Heritage, Health, and Heart

Our Italian Legacy

At Tuscany Lagottos, we are dedicated to preserving the ancient traditions of the Romagna region right here in New Fairfield, Connecticut. Our mission is to produce Lagotto Romagnolos that aren't just world-class truffle hunters, but devoted, healthy family companions. We believe in a holistic approach to breeding, focusing on the "whole dog"—mind, body, and spirit.

The Tuscany Standard

What makes a Tuscany Lagotto unique? It’s our commitment to transparency and excellence.

  • Elite Health Screening: Every sire and dam in our program undergoes extensive testing for hips, elbows, and eyes (OFA/CERF).

  • Genetic Integrity: We run full DNA panels to ensure our puppies are clear of juvenile epilepsy (BFJE) and storage disease (LSD).

  • Home-Raised Excellence: Our pups are never raised in kennels. They are born and socialized in our home, ensuring they are ready for the hustle and bustle of life in Danbury and beyond.

A Holistic Start for a Lifetime Bond

We follow the Puppy Culture protocol, a gold-standard developmental program that introduces puppies to new sounds, textures, and people during their most formative weeks. This "bio-sensor" training creates resilient, confident dogs who transition seamlessly into their new homes.

When you take home a Tuscany Lagotto, you receive:

  • A comprehensive New Owner’s Guide featuring our favorite holistic products.

  • A "Scent Blanket" from Mom to ease the transition.

  • A lifetime of support from our family to yours.

The Tuscany Foster Program

High-Quality Companionship, Local Connection

To maintain the highest standards for our breeding program while ensuring every one of our dogs lives as a pampered pet, we offer a Foster Family Program. If you live within 60 miles of New Fairfield, CT, you may be eligible to host one of our "pick of the litter" puppies.

You provide the love, training, and daily care; we retain breeding rights for a limited time and cover all breeding-related medical expenses. It is the perfect way to welcome a premier Lagotto into your home with a community of experts behind you.

Why Choose the Lagotto Romagnolo?

Often called the "Italian Water Dog," the Lagotto is famous for its:

  • Hypoallergenic Coat: A thick, woolly double-coat that sheds minimally.

  • Intuitive Intelligence: They are "thinking dogs" who love to solve puzzles.

  • Versatile Energy: Equally happy hiking the CT trails or curling up for a movie night.
