The Lagotto Romagnolo is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 11–16 kg as an adult. Originally a water retriever from Italy's Romagna region, the Lagotto's dense, curly, non-shedding coat and exceptional nose later made it the breed of choice for hunting truffles.
What this means for your Lagotto Romagnolo
A rare inherited neurological condition called benign familial juvenile epilepsy has been identified in the breed, typically affecting puppies rather than adults. Hip dysplasia is also worth screening for, and reputable breeders now test for the epilepsy gene.
The dense, curly, non-shedding coat needs regular clipping and grooming rather than natural shedding, so consistent grooming routines matter throughout life.
When is a Lagotto Romagnolo considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Lagotto Romagnolo are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
