Received the following post this morn.
If anyone is interested please let me know & I'll put you in contact with the breeder.
Bill Allen.
>You don't know anyone who has always wanted a Lagotto Romagnolo Italian retrieving dog do you? (you never know, so I thought I'd ask). A boy from pure Italian working dog lines, none of your namby pamby domestic pet lines, which is the problem really.
>He is one of the puppies I raised last year, went to a woman in Victoria who is an animal scientist at Monash University, her aim is to breed the perfect companion dog; really!!! (see her website http://www.hevnlee.com.au/Lagotti.htm )
>She asked for a handsome, friendly and outgoing Lagotto boy, but did not specify placid, which it turns out is all important for her breeding aim. Since he is a live-wire he is now excess to requirements, poor boy. I'd bring him back to NZ in a flash if it wasn't going to cost AU$2000 in freight,
>So I'm looking for a good home for him, if perchance you know of such a thing. He's white and brown like his brothers in the attached pic, one of whom I own and the other is owned by a friend. Lovely lively dogs, with personality plus, but not placid, no.
