Welcome to our professional Lagotto Romagnolo kennel, specialized in the selection of exceptional dogs for truffle hunting. We are professional breeders, not hobby breeders, and this makes the difference for those seeking a reliable, balanced working companion with strong potential.

A Professional Breeding Program: The Key Differences

Unlike hobby breeding, the Cacao Meravigliao kennel operates as a registered facility fully compliant with all industry regulations. This means:

Rigorous Selection Programs:
We select our breeding dogs based on genetic testing, health screening, and working ability, ensuring puppies are suited for truffle hunting and free from hereditary diseases.

Certified Veterinary Care:
Both puppies and adults are followed by experienced veterinarians and undergo regular health checks, including screening for hip dysplasia and other genetic conditions.

Stimulating Growth Environment:
Puppies are born and raised in suitable spaces, within a structured yet family-oriented environment. They follow socialization and sensory stimulation programs designed to develop a balanced temperament and readiness for work.

Professional Support and Guidance:
We provide ongoing consultation and support to future handlers, with specific guidance on truffle hunting training and dog management.

Selection for Work and Health

Our professional kennel is distinguished by a targeted selection of breeding dogs. We rely on bloodlines with proven working ability, ensuring puppies with a natural aptitude for scent work and a cooperative temperament. All our dogs are officially registered in the canine registry and come with an ENCI pedigree, a guarantee of transparency and seriousness in our breeding program.

Breeding and Early Training

Our puppies are gradually introduced to the stimuli and situations typical of working environments. This developmental path is essential to refine their scenting abilities and build confidence in the field—essential qualities for a professional truffle dog.

Tradition and Passion for Truffles

The Lagotto Romagnolo is the ideal companion for those who experience truffle hunting as both an art and a tradition. In our professional kennel, we select and raise puppies that best embody the spirit and potential of this extraordinary breed.
