She joins Bella, our other Lagotto which was also imported from Australia. Mia's a little cutey (as you can see!) and we had expected Bella to be much more like her when she arrived. Bella is much bigger and nearly adult size (at least twice the size of Mia) despite there being a 9 week difference in age.

I love her face. She looks as if she's just chewed your slipper, and is wondering what you'll do when you find it...

She looks as if she's just chewed your slipper

both her and her 'sister' seem to love redistributing and chewing all of our footwear and also furniture and/or anything within reach really !!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to transport her from Australia?

Thanks

lots !! i think on average is worked out to about $1400 (Australian) for each dog - one from Perth, one from Brisbane

Lagottos were originally bred as water retrievers in Italy many moons ago, nowadays they are used primarily for sniffing out truffles - which is what we intend to use them for ... :yes

(they do have proportianally larger heads, but for this site they seem to have used pictures of the ugliest example!!):)
