Thank you for visiting the Valburg Lagotto Heaven’s website!
The Lagotto Romagnolo was love at first sight for us. This breed is a real miracle with their gorgeous and lovely character.
Our goal is to breed healthy Lagottos with excellent character, however, we want
to keep this rustic breed standard.
We hope that Valburg puppies will bring a lot of joy to the new families and we are waiting for new fans of Romagna Water Dog!
Early socialization is very important in our kennel. Personal contact is necessary from birth for pups to become a balanced and happy adult dog. So our newborn babies live and grow up inside the house with our family.

The rustic type Lagotto Romagnolo with their happy character and curly coat make a smile on everyone's face from the first sight. However, this breed is a real working dog specialised in truffle hunting. Thanks to its properties, it still holds its place in many areas today (obedient sports, water hunting, nose work) Likes children? Good sport dog? Hypoallergenic? Visit our FAQ page for an answer.

The Italian Water Dog is a very human-centered breed, it can be a perfect family dog. The breed is extremely intelligent, easy to train and motivate. They are excellent swimmers and feel great in the water as well as in the forest. We recommend the Lagotto Romagnolo to families who spend their free time actively.
Read moreWe became happy owners of Maya in June. Zita was well-minded and helpful from the first contact. We've got an outstandingly balanced puppy with extremely good nervous system, who fitted perfectly in the family from the first day.

We became lucky owners of Leo in June, who has become a real part of the family. We brought an extremely good-natured, curious, and friendly puppy from Zita and her family. Although we were prepared for the initial difficulties, Leo took every obstacle in his stride, and from the first moment, he's learnt everything very quickly. In Zita we got to know a kind and competent breeder. From the first contact, until today, she always takes the time to answer our questions and help us in everything she can.
I can honestly recommend this kennel to everyone, who wants to get a puppy from a trustable place.

Will Turner, alias Dió, who got this name because of his beautiful color and big eyes, moved to me to the 10th floor when he was 10 weeks old. It was a sharp shift for him, because at the breeder, he could spend the whole day on the yard with his brothers. Nonetheless, the familiarisation went quite easy. At the breeder, the puppies were sleeping in dog crates, so it wasn’t strange for Dió. There weren’t serious dramas, only on the 1st 2 nights, we had to speak to him until he fell asleep, but then, he slept like a log. The dog crate works for us, it’s always open during the day, he often goes inside for sleeping or playing. The room cleanliness also went quickly, after a week, he pooped only on the yard, and peed on the diaper or on the yard. I spared him for 2 months of climbing stairs. For the 2nd time, he jumped into the bag which I brought him up and down the stairs. Dió is 5 months old now, he’s an extraordinary docile, and has a stable nervous system, who denies lots of lagotto-fears. He’s not barking unnecessarily, isn’t gnawing the furnitures, and hasn't been afraid of anything since he was a puppy. He’s interested in following the hoover, listening to the washing-machine, coming there, if anything falls down, he’s listening to the siren on the street, or a louder car, but never gets scared. Even his fear of big dogs went away when he became 4 months old. We often go to the dog nursery, to many dogs, he’s playing bravely with them. To be honest, life is easy with him 🙂 Of course it’s a serious challenge not to eat everything, but when I see what he picked out on the street, a “gross” is enough for him to let it go. It’s not easy to make him want to sleep on his own blanket, and not to want to be with me all the time, but these are handleable and loveable problems. Compared that he’s just 5 months, he’s an extremely well-socialised dog, which I think I can thank for the great bases, and he is basically a very balanced dog. I needed pansion for him for a few days, I could count on the Valburg Lagotto Heaven Kennel on this also, they took care of Dió while I was out of the country.

It was the best decision to choose Zita's from the breeders. Our baby, Pamacs is one of the most intelligent, balanced puppies we've ever seen. He has very good nervous system, and the socialisation he got from the breeder can be easily seen: in 1 day, he became the member of our family, got used to our cat, and our dogs we've already had.
I believe that the Valburg Lagotto Heaven Kennel is the best kennel in Hungary.

Next to 2 family dogs, we searched for a puppy who would be happy to take part on various sport activities, mostly in mantrailing. We let Zita chose our puppy, who, based on a preliminary discussion, very empathicly assessed our demands, she tried to get to known to the envirement where the baby would live. That's how Jack came to us, who settled in the team very quickly.
It can be seen that how much effort did Zita put on the early socialisation, Jack is very kind and interested both in people and dogs, he has a very good nervous system, happy all the time, and learns very easily. When he was 4 months, we started the mantrailing, and it cannot be felt that he's just a puppy. Thank you very much! We can recommend this kennel with calm heart.

From the first moment we contacted Zita, she was very kind, helpful, and patient. It was very important for us to have the trust between the breeder and our family, and luckily, that's exactly what happened. 😀 We bought Manga next to our child, and they love each other very much. The Valburg kennel was a great choice, Manga is 1,5 years soon, and she's a successful examined dog, whose hobby is the mantrailing.

Thank you for our super puppy! In addition to two small children, you chose a dog for us that fit perfectly into the life of the family. We also received a lot of useful advice and can ask questions at any time, which is a huge help. Thank you 🤗

Next to children, we wanted a real family dog. The breed was a love at first sight. We searched for a trustable breeder in Hungary, and we found it 💞 We've got a balanced, clever and healthy puppy who instantly fitted into our family's daily routine. We believe that the socialisation basically determines the dog's future life. The Valburg kennel, Zita and her family started Suzy with the perfect basics on her way. We gratefully thank to them for our miracle! We can recommend them with calm heart to every family who would like happy life with dog.
Regards, Fekete family
