Our OttogaL Family
Welcome
Welcome to OttogaL - we are pleased to share with you our dogs and their achievements and to provide information for you to see if a Lagotto is the dog for you. We have six Lagotto Dogs we enjoy participating in Conformation, Agility, Jumping, Obedience, Rally-O, Flyball and we have the first two Lagotti to have undertaken the Endurance Test which allows them to have the title after their name ET. There are also many other sports that are undertaken by the Lagotto such as Tracking, which includes Search and Rescue, Gundog Retreiving and of course what they are bred for, Truffle Hunting.
A new sport recently that the Lagotto has taken to is K9 Nose Works - similar to tracking in that the dog must use its nose without too much interaction from the owner but without having to trek through fields on winter days if that is not your thing.
This is why we truly believe the Lagotto is a dog for all reasons.
They are of course our family pets; sharing our lives and traveling with us and part of our everyday lives. They are easy dogs to live with and the non-shed feature of their coat makes life a lot easier too.
Here are some photos of them taken over the last year.
There are some new photos of them all under their own pages.
A career highlight for us was on my 2012 visit to Bagnara, Italy to visit the "mecca" for Lagotto owners I was amazed, honoured and totally blown away to see my beautiful dogs on all of the presentation trohpies for the Italian Lagotto Club biggest Lagotto Raduno in Europe.
Thankyou to the Italian Lagotto Club for this great honour.
Can you imagine my excitement seeing all these trophies at the biggest Lagotto Club Show in Bagnara Italy. Breathtaking! and such a wonderful compliment to Australian Lagotto Dogs.
