Sir MONTORO

NAME AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION: Montoro del Bosco is a fully registered AKC (FSS) Lagotto Romagnolo male, born in March 2020 and microchipped for permanent identification. He descends directly from champion Italian bloodlines, making him an outstanding representative of the breed both in structure and temperament.
HEIGHT, WEIGHT, AND PHYSICAL STRUCTURE: Montoro stands 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) at the shoulder and weighs 35 pounds, giving him the ideal medium size expected from a well-built Lagotto male. His body is compact and athletic, with balanced proportions, a sturdy square head, a strong muzzle, and a straight tail carried naturally. His movement is fluid, light, and efficient—traits inherited from generations of working truffle dogs.
COAT COLOR AND TEXTURE: His coat is a rich brown roan (marrone roano), tightly curled, dense, and wooly, offering strong weather resistance. This non-shedding and hypoallergenic coat is characteristic of the breed. The deep chocolate coloration paired with clean white accents on the paws and chest gives Montoro a classic and highly desirable Lagotto appearance.
DESCRIPTION OF TEMPERAMENT: Montoro has an exceptionally balanced temperament. He is affectionate, loyal, and gentle with children, while also being highly intelligent and quick to learn. He demonstrates strong focus during work, yet remains calm and relaxed inside the home. Confident, stable, and friendly, he transitions easily between environments, making him an ideal combination of working capability and family companionship.
RESULTS OF HEALTH TESTING:Montoro is fully health tested and completely clear of hereditary conditions. His OFA evaluations include Excellent hips, Normal elbows, and a clear CAER eye exam. His patellas are normal, and he has undergone a full genetic panel through Embark, confirming that he is free of Lagotto Storage Disease (LSD), Benign Familial Juvenile Epilepsy (BFJE), and all other common breed-specific disorders.
LINEAGE AND BLOODLINES: Montoro comes from prestigious and historic Italian bloodlines, including the well-known Del Bosco line recognized for outstanding truffle-hunting ability, and the Romagnolo Antico Kennel line, celebrated for producing dogs with correct conformation, excellent scenting ability, and stable, family-friendly temperaments. His pedigree includes multiple ENCI and FCI champions across Europe.
WORKING TITLES OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Montoro has earned several titles in AKC scent work, including Novice Container (SCN), Novice Buried (SBN), and Novice Handler Discrimination (SHDN). He also earned a new title ribbon during the 2023 Summerset Scent Detection Trial. His natural scenting ability, focus during work, and strong problem-solving skills make him an outstanding example of the Lagotto’s working heritage.
WHAT HE CONTRIBUTES TO THE LITTER: Montoro consistently passes on exceptional qualities to his puppies. His offspring typically inherit strong scent detection instincts, high intelligence, stable and affectionate temperaments, and excellent coat quality with tight curls and low shedding. Structurally, he passes compact build, good proportions, and balanced movement. Whether for truffle work, scent competition, therapy tasks, or family companionship, Montoro’s genetic influence produces puppies with exceptional potential.
