A Very Special Lagotto Romagnolo Litter Has Arrived!!!

July 12, 2026

 




With great joy and pride, we are delighted to welcome a very special Lagotto Romagnolo litter at Totegnac.

This litter means a great deal to us. It represents years of dedication to the breed, careful selection, trusted relationships with some of the most respected breeders in the world, and above all, our wish to raise healthy, stable, beautiful Lagotti with the temperament and qualities that make this breed so exceptional.

The mother of our puppies is our beloved Barbarella di Totegnac — European Hope, Croatian Junior Champion and Croatian Champion, and third in a strong Junior Class at Crufts. Beyond her achievements in the show ring, Barbarella is everything we value in a Lagotto Romagnolo: intelligent, affectionate, balanced, full of character and unmistakably typical of the breed.

The sire is the outstanding World Winner and AKC Grand Champion Kan Trace The Lightning Strike “Mark” — a remarkable male whose quality, health, temperament and breed type represent some of the very best the Lagotto Romagnolo world has to offer.

This combination brings together two exceptional bloodlines, but for us, a pedigree is only the beginning. Our goal has always been to breed Lagotti who are not only beautiful and successful, but above all healthy, confident, intelligent and devoted companions.

Both parents have excellent health results:

HUU Clear

Furnishing FF
Full Scissor Bite

And now, after all the planning, anticipation and hopes behind this litter, they are finally here.

Tiny curls, little noses, peaceful moments beside their mother — and completely new personalities that we are only beginning to discover. Each of these puppies has a story still waiting to be written. One day, they may become a cherished family member, an inseparable companion, a show dog, a working partner, or simply someone’s very best friend.

For now, our job is to give them the best possible beginning: plenty of care, thoughtful socialisation, individual attention and, most importantly, love.

We are incredibly excited to watch them grow and to see what the future holds for this very special generation of Totegnac Lagotto Romagnolos.

Welcome to the world, little ones. Your story has just begun.

Totegnac – Titled, Trusted & Tested.

Puppies are born!

October 22, 2024



An extraordinary litter of Lagotto Romagnolo puppies was born in the registered Croatian kennel Totegnac! The mother of the puppies is a multiple beauty champion who took second place in her class at the largest and oldest dog show in the world (Crufts in Birmingham, England), and the father of the puppies is Croatia's youth champion in beauty. Both parents have genetic tests from leading European laboratories, which guarantee that the puppies will not suffer from hereditary diseases, and perfect scans of the hips and elbows from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb. The mother is also an excellent working dog, as she finds truffles with ease.
We are a kennel with rich experience in breeding two other dog breeds, all our dogs are carefully socialized and trained to easily adapt to a new environment. All puppies have pedigrees from the Croatian Kennel Club, EU veterinary passports with all vaccinations and anti-parasite treatments, and with them the new owners also receive detailed written instructions on feeding, keeping and training dogs, based on our many years of practice of breeding dogs that have been declared the most beautiful in dog shows, but they are also used in the rescue services of European countries and the Croatian police as search dogs.

Puppies of this breed must be well socialized

May 26, 2023




Socialization of puppies at an early stage is extremely important for this breed. Therefore, do not buy puppies from breeders who are not in constant contact with the puppies and keep them separated in kennels. Puppies must grow up in a natural environment, be in contact with children and other people, gradually get used to all sounds, movements, beings and objects.

It’s a generally healthy breed

March 05, 2018

Lagotto Romagnolos are robust working dogs. They do not easily get injured or sick. The only health issues, which occur rarely and are simply a result of poor breeding, are hip dysplasia or the abnormal growth of the hip bone, which at its worst can cripple the dog but can be corrected through surgery, and juvenile epilepsy, which breeders are currently working to breed out.
If your puppy is from a good line, there is a good chance he or she will live for up to 16 years or more, which is longer than other dogs of the same size.

It requires a lot of stimulation

March 05, 2018

As a working dog, the Lagotto Romagnolo needs plenty of exercise. It will enjoy a spacious yard to roam around in and long walks outside. Apart from having an active body, it also has an active mind so in addition to physical exercise, mental stimulation is required. You can try hiding toys and treats and letting your dog look for them or you can play hide-and-seek with your dog, too, or come up with some creative games on your own. Just remember to let your Lagotto Romagnolo to use his or her brain. Otherwise, he or she will become bored and unhappy or worse, mischievous and destructive in an effort to find amusement and stimulation.

It is easy to train

March 05, 2018


Thankfully, the Lagotto Romagnolo is easy to train, though you should start from puppyhood. It is intelligent and eager to please, a great combination which has allowed it to win various obedience trials in dog shows. When training, just remember to be firm, calm and consistent and you shouldn’t have any problems getting your Lagotto Romagnolo to obey you.

It loves to dig

March 05, 2018

Probably the only bad thing about the Lagotto Romagnolo is its digging habit. When looking for truffles, this is a good thing but if you don’t have any in your yard, you’ll want to either curb this habit or give your Lagotto Romagnolo his or her own sandbox or digging area. You’ll want to keep the flowers fenced, too.

It is a good watchdog

March 05, 2018


The Lagotto Romagnolo is not just a good family dog but an excellent watchdog. After all, the peasants used to leave their households in this dog’s care. It has sharp hearing, so much so that some believe it sleeps with one ear open, and will quickly alert the family of any intruder. When it comes to guests, they will bark and be wary but will not show any aggression. In time, they may even learn to trust those they see often, giving them a warm welcome into your home.

It is a good family dog

March 05, 2018


The Lagotto Romagnolo is described as gentle and affectionate, craving but not demanding human companionship. It is especially good with children and can behave well inside the house with proper training. With sufficient socialization, it can also get along well with other dogs and pets, even smaller ones, as its hunting instinct has already been bred out. Otherwise, it might be shy.
