Absolutely: the Lagotto Romagnolo is one of the breeds best suited to living with children. Thanks to its sweet, balanced, and playful nature, it is capable of establishing a close bond with little ones, becoming a true friend and playmate.

An affectionate and patient dog

The Lagotto has a marked sensitivity and a great ability to adapt, making it particularly tolerant and patient even with the liveliest children. It is not aggressive or intrusive, and respects the space and time of the people it lives with.

An excellent ally in growth

Growing up with a Lagotto means teaching children respect, care, and responsibility toward animals. It is a dog that loves to play but also knows how to calm down in quiet moments, naturally following the family's rhythm.

Sociable... if well-trained

Regarding its relationship with children, the Lagotto tends to be very docile and non-aggressive. However, like many sensitive breeds, it can show a certain insecurity or shyness in new situations or around unfamiliar people.
This fear of the unknown can turn into aggressive behavior if a child attacks the dog, even with good intentions. It's therefore also important to "educate" children to approach the newcomer with closeness and progressive affection.

This is why it's essential to choose a breeder that carefully focuses on early socialization. A Lagotto who is well-socialized from puppyhood will be able to calmly face any context: the park, the shopping mall, a walk in the city, or an encounter with other dogs.

It all starts there: a dog with a good personality and well-prepared to face the world will always be a pleasure to take along, in any situation and with anyone.

Easy to handle, even for parents

Being an intelligent and receptive breed, the Lagotto is easy to train, even for those with little experience with dogs. They respond well to recall, are not prone to escape or hunting, and are naturally cooperative: characteristics that make them confident, manageable, and perfect for family life.

The Lagotto Romagnolo is an ideal dog for families with children: affectionate, balanced, playful, and—if properly raised—extremely sociable with other animals and people. Choosing a Lagotto from a reputable breeder means laying the foundation for a peaceful, stable, and happy coexistence.
