Health in the Lagotto Romagnolo is about more than genetic testing. It begins with responsible selection of the parents and continues with appropriate exercise, good nutrition, mental stimulation and regular care throughout the dog's life.<\/span><\/p>\n

This page provides an overview of health screening relevant to the breed and the basic care needs every prospective owner should understand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

RESPONSIBLE BREEDING<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Health Begins Before a Puppy Is Born<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The foundation of a healthy litter is laid when the parents are selected. It is not enough for dogs to look healthy and show no obvious problems. Responsible breeding requires appropriate orthopaedic and eye examinations, genetic testing relevant to the breed and an understanding of the health profile behind the pedigree.<\/span><\/p>\n

No result should be considered in isolation. When planning a mating, the health of both parents should be considered alongside pedigree, temperament, conformation, genetic compatibility and any known risks within the lines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
