Perfetto Lagotto

Perfetto Lagotto raises lagotto Romagnolo in Winchester, KY, in the Bluegrass region near Lexington. Andrea Shaffer has bred lagotto Romagnolo for more than ten years with American Kennel Club registration and regular health clearances for hips and eyes.

Perfetto Lagotto maintains active membership in the Lagotto Romagnolo Club of America and follows its guidelines for temperament and soundness. Puppies are socialized from day one, splitting time between gentle handling by family members and supervised outdoor play on our rural property. Andrea draws on traditional Italian truffle-hunting techniques to guide early training, encouraging the breed’s natural tracking instincts in calm, structured sessions.

Each litter undergoes comprehensive veterinary checks and receives age-appropriate vaccinations before joining new homes. One family recently commented on a puppy’s calm confidence and eagerness to learn in a busy household. Our kennel philosophy centers on balanced health, gentle socialization, and respect for each dog’s individual pace.
