Why Canada Is Our Closest International Destination

Most international puppy shipments require a flight. Canada is different and that difference matters enormously for your puppy’s wellbeing.

From our home in Maple Valley, WA, the Douglas Border Crossing (BC/WA) is approximately 3 hours by road. This means that for Canadian families, particularly those in British Columbia and Alberta — our VIP door-to-door van service is a genuine alternative to air transport. Your puppy never enters a cargo hold. They travel in a climate-controlled, comfortable vehicle with a dedicated handler who monitors their comfort every mile of the journey.

For families in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, or the Maritime provinces, we offer our premium in-cabin pet nanny service via direct flights from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) into major Canadian airports — a calm, supervised cabin experience that remains far superior to standard air cargo.

VIP Van Delivery to Canada — A Route for Every Province

Our ground van service crosses into Canada at the Peace Arch / Douglas Border Crossing in Surrey, BC. From there, we serve every major Canadian province with a dedicated route. Your puppy travels in a climate-controlled vehicle with scheduled rest stops, regular playtime, and feeding at every stage of the journey.

Families in the Maritime provinces — New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland are not covered by our van routes given the distance involved. For these families, our in-cabin pet nanny service detailed in the air delivery section below is the ideal and most comfortable option. Contact us to discuss your specific location and we will put together a personalized delivery plan that works for you.

In-Cabin Pet Nanny (Recommended)

Our preferred air delivery method for Canadian families is the in-cabin pet nanny service. A dedicated, experienced escort accompanies your puppy in the passenger cabin for the entire flight — never in cargo. Your puppy is supervised from the moment they board in Seattle to the moment they are handed directly to you upon landing at your Canadian airport. This is the gold standard of air pet transport and the option we recommend for every Canadian family choosing to fly.

Specialized Air Cargo

We also offer delivery via IATA-compliant specialized air cargo for families on a tighter budget. We work exclusively with airlines and handlers that follow the strictest animal welfare standards. Your puppy travels in an airline-approved, ventilated, comfortable crate and is checked at every transit point. Contact us to discuss whether this option is right for your location and timing.

Importing a Lagotto Romagnolo Puppy into Canada — What You Need to Know

Canada has clear and manageable requirements for importing a dog from the United States. As an experienced exporter, we handle the preparation of all required documentation on your behalf. Here is a full overview of what is required and what we provide.

CFIA Requirements for Importing a Dog from the USA to Canada

Age requirement: Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old at the time of entry into Canada.
Rabies vaccination: Required for puppies 3 months of age or older. We ensure all puppies entering Canada meet this requirement with documented proof of vaccination.
Veterinary health certificate: A certificate issued and signed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian within 10 days of the date of entry into Canada. This is standard practice for all our exports and is prepared well in advance of travel.
No CFIA endorsement required for dogs from the USA (unlike many other countries) — this simplifies and accelerates the process significantly.
No quarantine period for dogs arriving from the United States into Canada.
AKC registration paperwork is provided with every puppy — recognized internationally and compatible with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) registration process.

Provincial Considerations

While federal CFIA requirements govern the border crossing, some provinces have additional animal import bylaws. Quebec in particular requires specific provincial documentation. We are familiar with these requirements and ensure every puppy’s paperwork is complete for their specific destination province.

Border Crossing — Van Deliveries

For our VIP van deliveries, we cross into Canada at the Peace Arch / Douglas border crossing in Surrey, BC — one of the most efficient and well-staffed crossings on the US-Canada border. Our handler presents all documentation directly to Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers. This process typically takes 15 to 30 minutes when documentation is complete, which ours always is.

Health-Tested Lagotto Puppies — AKC & FCI Compatible Standards

Every Golden Truffle Lagotto puppy exported to Canada comes from parent dogs that have completed the full OFA health testing protocol: hips, elbows, eyes, patellas, and a comprehensive Lagotto-specific DNA panel including LSD (Lagotto Storage Disease), HUU, and PRCD-PRA. All results are documented and provided to you as part of your puppy package.

Our puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). AKC registration is fully transferable and compatible with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), meaning your puppy can be registered in Canada without restriction upon arrival.

Our breeding program is rooted in authentic Italian bloodlines — dogs imported or descended from ENCI-registered stock in Italy, the country of origin of the Lagotto Romagnolo. The FCI standard, which governs Lagotto breeding in Europe and internationally, informs every pairing we make.

Each puppy leaves Maple Valley with:

USDA-endorsed veterinary health certificate (Canada-compliant)
Proof of age-appropriate vaccinations including rabies (where applicable by age)
Full deworming records
AKC registration paperwork (CKC-transferable)
OFA and DNA health test results for both parents
Written health guarantee
Comprehensive puppy care guide
Ongoing breeder support — for the life of your dog

Why the Lagotto Romagnolo Is an Exceptional Choice for Canadian Families

Canada’s landscape and lifestyle are a natural fit for the Lagotto Romagnolo — a breed built for varied terrain, changing seasons, and close family bonds.

Cold-weather resilience: The Lagotto’s dense, curly double coat provides natural insulation in cold Canadian winters — ideal for families in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario who want an outdoor companion year-round.
Hypoallergenic coat: For Canadian families dealing with allergies, the Lagotto’s low-shedding, non-allergenic coat is a significant practical advantage — especially in the enclosed environments of Canadian winters.
Outdoor adventure companion: Whether it’s hiking the Rockies in Banff, exploring the trails of BC’s Interior, or running through the forests of Quebec, the Lagotto’s stamina and love of exploration make them outstanding outdoor companions.
Urban adaptability: Lagottos adapt well to city living in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal — as long as they receive consistent mental stimulation and daily exercise.
Truffle potential in Canada: Canada has a growing artisanal truffle industry, particularly in British Columbia and Ontario. Several Canadian families have successfully used their Golden Truffle Lagottos in recreational and professional truffle hunting.
Family temperament: Gentle, loyal, and deeply people-oriented, Lagottos thrive in the family-centered culture of Canadian households — wonderful with children of all ages and gentle with seniors.

Canadian Families Who Chose Golden Truffle Lagotto

“We were based in Vancouver and honestly didn’t expect van delivery to be possible from a US breeder. Golden Truffle Lagotto made it happen seamlessly — our puppy crossed the border calm and happy, and the WhatsApp updates during the drive were such a nice touch. The documentation was perfectly prepared and the border crossing was completely smooth. We couldn’t be happier.”
— Vancouver, BC family

We have placed Lagotto Romagnolo puppies with families throughout British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. Each export has been handled with the same meticulous attention to documentation, comfort, and communication that defines every Golden Truffle experience.

Frequently Asked Questions — Importing a Lagotto Puppy to Canada

Can you deliver a Lagotto puppy to Canada by van?

Yes — and this is one of our most popular options for Canadian buyers. From our home in Maple Valley, WA, the Peace Arch border crossing into British Columbia is approximately 3 hours by road. We regularly deliver to Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and the Fraser Valley by ground van. For Alberta families, we offer an extended van route through the Rockies with overnight stops. This door-to-door van service is the least stressful delivery method for your puppy — no cargo holds, no unfamiliar airports.

What documents are required to bring a dog from the USA to Canada?

The core requirements are: a rabies vaccination certificate (for puppies 3 months or older), and a veterinary health certificate issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian within 10 days of travel. No CFIA endorsement is required for US-origin dogs, and there is no quarantine period. We prepare all documentation well in advance and ensure everything is border-ready.

Is there a quarantine period for dogs entering Canada from the USA?

No. Dogs imported from the United States are not subject to a quarantine period upon entering Canada, provided all documentation requirements are met. This is one of the significant advantages of purchasing from a US-based breeder close to the Canadian border.

Can I register my AKC puppy with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)?

Yes. AKC registration is transferable to the CKC. We provide full AKC registration paperwork with every puppy. Upon arrival in Canada, you can initiate the CKC transfer registration process directly with the Canadian Kennel Club using the AKC documents we provide.

How long does air delivery to Toronto or Montreal take?

Our in-cabin pet nanny service from Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) to Toronto Pearson (YYZ) involves one connecting flight, typically via Vancouver (YVR). Total travel time including layover is usually 6 to 8 hours. For Montreal (YUL), routing is similar. Your puppy travels in the passenger cabin under the constant supervision of a dedicated escort — never in cargo.

Do you serve all Canadian provinces?

Yes. We deliver to all Canadian provinces. Western Canada (BC, Alberta) is served primarily by our VIP van service or direct flights from SEA. Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, and the Atlantic provinces) is served via connecting flights with our in-cabin pet nanny service.

What is the price of a Lagotto Romagnolo puppy delivered to Canada?

Puppy pricing reflects the investment in ethical, health-tested breeding from authentic Italian bloodlines. Delivery costs vary by province and chosen transport method. Please contact us for a complete, transparent quote with no hidden fees.

Does the Lagotto Romagnolo do well in cold Canadian winters?

Absolutely. The Lagotto’s dense, curly coat provides natural insulation and the breed has excellent cold-weather tolerance. They were originally bred in northern Italy and are accustomed to varied, demanding terrain and climate. Many of our Canadian families report their Lagottos thrive in winter — loving the snow and outdoor exercise even in sub-zero temperatures.
