The Lagotto Romagnolo (Pronunciation - Low-got-tow Ro-man-yow-low) with its teddy-bear-like appearance and undemanding personality is not your typical sporting breed. While the Lagotti were originally bred as water retrievers, it was discovered that they had a more impressive talent they would become known for. Their keen sense of smell made them the ultimate truffle hunter who could sniff out these delicacies while roaming the Italian countryside.
