They look like they can do the job. Any breeders in Washington?

A truffle hunting duck dog? Sure why not. Supposedly the ancestor of the waterdogs anyway.

Get the right breeder and shazam.

Maybe next time if I am still hunting in 20 years.

Seen them in a few hunting magazines. Talked as if they were the greatest thing ever. Was curiouse if anyone has experience with them.

Never heard of them before your post.

$1500.00 and up for a pup.

1500 plus you need a stylist ... and if you are going to get it styled you will need product.  I would talk to the Lagotto Lady and have one shipped!!

You can probably get a better dog out of one of the more common breeds and pay less doing so.

I don't know anything about this particular breed. However I've read plenty of articles espousing how great the author's breed is and why somebody should think about getting one.
Heck, just look at the discourse that goes on in this site anytime somebody asks one of those "what's the best breed for me" type questions.

Many of us could make a strong case why our particular breed of dog is one of the greatest to be had. We do it because we love our dogs, have invested huge amounts of time and money and it's often "mostly" the breed we know.

Of course another source of information might the AKC if the breed's recognized by them that is. You might be able to track down some breeders through them.

I noticed this website with a forum of 900 owners. Maybe they might have more insight for you?

If you get an off-breed a couple suggestions;

You become a Pro-dog trainer and your wife becomes a vet.

It will be cheaper in the long run in most cases.

Lol, sorry, can't see avatars very well on the phone because I zoom in unless, you didn't have one when I posted...either way making excuses. haha

Watched a young couple I know breed a Boston Terrier. They were shocked it had to have a C-section, then shocked about the price, then shocked they only had two living pups to sell...

I sound like a flaming ass to many people I'm sure but, some folks just won't listen when it comes to breeding and the responsibilities it carries. Not to mention spreading bad genes around because they just want 100% of the profit from pups instead of spending a couple hundred bucks to test the parents for problems common to the breeds.
