    Just wondering if anyone has a Lagotto Romagnolo. If so, what's your verdict?

    if you've got a nice garden , forget it.........they dig everything up! need lots of exercise as a working breed, and make sure parents are hip scored as can be prone to hip dysplasia, epilepsy is a fairly common problem too, aren't many around so finding a breeder will be a problem

    What sort of dog you looking for? Something hypoallergenic?

    Thanks for that Jude. Have you experience with the LR breed?
    sps - we are fans of the Bassett griffon breed but we were wondering if we fancied a change, I had learned of a 16 week old pup that had become available.
    I had read up on them but wondered if anyone had first hand experience.

    I'm a vet nurse had a client with a couple but never owned one myself, lovely happy dogs, as I say so long as you like walking they are fab, pretty uncommon breed, we don't see many

    Thanks for that Jude. Much appreciate the response. We had decided no, but I've just seen pictures of it again.
