About me
I came across the Lagotto Romagnolo in 2003. I was looking for another agility dog and already had a Bichon Frise. A Crufts agility finalist, my Bichon Disney had got me hooked on this activity.
I did however want to look at a slightly bigger dog but stay with a non-moulting breed due to my allergies. In 2004 I brought home my lovely Lagotto Cia.
Cia achieved both top showing and agility awards, including being a finalist at Crufts in both activities!
She has been a tremendous asset to the breed in promoting the Lagotto within the UK . Her descendants have gone on to achieve great things in both the show world and canine sports. Sadly Cia died in August 2020 having reached the grand old age of !6 years. She is very much missed but has certainly left a legacy.
I am now completely hooked on the breed and am passionate about ensuring they remain a healthy, happy breed by careful breeding and selection of dog owners!
I have got to know and love the Lagotto and have trained my dogs in a variety of dog sports incuding scentwork, hoopers and Rally with my main sport being Dog Agility.
I am an Agility Club Approved Instructor (1st Class) and ran my own Dog Agility club in Berkshire for several years. Having recently relocated to Scotland, I have set up another agility club along with a fellow agility trainer. I enjoy grooming my dogs for show and have run several grooming workshops for the Lagotto Romagnolo Association. I also organise and teach various dog training workshops for the Lagotto Romagnolo Association.
I am a founder member and committee member of the Lagotto Romagnolo Association (UK) and have recently become involved with the Lagotto Romagnolo Foundation, an international group of breed enthusiasts whose aim is to encourage good breeding practices, further research and understanding of health and temperament issues and educating owners of the particular nuances and training requirements of the Lagotto.
As a Kennel Club Assured breeder, I breed occasionally and welcome enquiries. Please see my contact page.
