About

Hugh & Kim

We have always been dog lovers, but upon meeting this breed of dog, something made us want to share our love and passion for this breed with others. It is an honor and privilege to be an advocate and ambassador for this rare breed here in the US. We were lucky to have been mentored by some well respected, smart breeders that have helped us every step of the way in this amazing journey. Puppies are raised in our home using puppy culture and lots of socialization. All of our breeding dogs are fully health tested for all issues prevalent in our breed and those that don’t meet the standards are not used, they are retired and spayed or neutered. We show our dogs in conformation and most of our breeding dogs are championed or grand championed by the time they are used in our breeding program. We love the time we spend getting to know each and every puppy we raise, but the icing on the cake is is helping families find the perfect dog for their family and seeing their joy on the day they pickup their new puppy. It makes all of the hard work so fulfilling. Our relationships with our families don’t end on the day they pickup their puppies, it continues as long as the family wants it to. We love being there for questions, seeing pictures, helping with referrals, etc. To further that goal, we have established a meet up group open to all Lagotti owners in the greater Chicagoland area. Our first get together was in July of 2022 and was considered a great success. Everyone enjoyed showing off their dogs with their fellow Lagotti owners.
