ABOUT US<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Negro Tesoro: A Family-Run Kennel with a Clear Purpose<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Negro Tesoro was established in 2011 as a natural continuation of our life with dogs, our love for them and our belief that a dog is truly part of the family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

OUR STORY<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How Negro Tesoro Began<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Negro Tesoro began when our long-standing love of dogs developed into a desire to devote ourselves seriously to responsible breeding, leading to the establishment of our kennel in 2011.<\/p>\n

The name Negro Tesoro means \u201cBlack Treasure\u201d. For us, it will always be associated with Lara, our black Labrador Retriever, who held an exceptional place in our family. She was where our story began \u2014 our treasure, and one of the reasons our bond with dogs became such an important part of our lives.<\/p>\n

Through Lara and the dogs who followed, the philosophy that still guides Negro Tesoro gradually took shape: to value each dog for its temperament, trust, relationship with people and ability to live naturally as part of the family.<\/p>\n

As Lara reached the later years of her life, the Lagotto Romagnolo gradually became part of our family. Lara lived to the remarkable age of 15 and remained a symbol of loyalty, family bonds and the beginning of Negro Tesoro. From that personal story, a clear breeding direction centred on the Lagotto Romagnolo gradually emerged.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

OUR PHILOSOPHY<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Italian Bloodlines at the Core<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our aim is to work with high-quality Italian Lagotto Romagnolo bloodlines. Both Emily and Melissa were bred in Italy and were selected for our breeding programme for their pedigrees, breed type, temperament and documented health results.<\/p>\n

We apply the same principles when selecting stud dogs. We do not simply choose the nearest or most convenient option; we look for a mating that makes genuine breeding sense in terms of pedigree, health, temperament and breed type.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

WHY THE LAGOTTO<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A Breed That Reflects What We Value<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Lagotto Romagnolo appealed to us for its intelligence, people-oriented nature, working heritage and Italian roots. It is a breed that thrives on close contact with its family, activity, mental stimulation and clear, consistent guidance.<\/p>\n

Another characteristic that drew us to the breed is its distinctive dense, curly coat of woolly texture. Lagotti tend to shed very little, which may make them easier to live with for some people who are sensitive to dog hair. However, no breed can be considered completely hypoallergenic and individual reactions vary, so we always recommend spending time with the breed before making a decision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

FAMILY-RAISED<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our Puppies Are Raised as Part of the Family<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Our puppies are not raised separately from everyday family life. From their earliest days, they are part of our home environment, experiencing human contact, normal household sounds and daily routines, with gradual, age-appropriate exposure to new situations as part of their early socialisation and habituation.<\/p>\n

We observe their development, temperament and responses to different situations. Our aim is not simply to raise attractive puppies, but to give each one the best possible foundations for becoming a well-balanced dog able to settle confidently into its new family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
