    Lagotto Romagnolo is NEVER black. White, orange, brown, roan and combinations of those colors. They are not known for being good watch dogs at all, they have low to mid low vocalists and they’re very affectionate towards people, including strangers.

    The comparison is is just bad. It is almost like comparing a doodle with a doodle. Lagotto is quite a rare breed and expensive. It is extremely hard to get a pure breed Lagotto puppy for under $3000.
