Bellavalle Kennels

Karen S.

Certified Breeder of Lagotti Romagnoli

  • Deatsville, AL

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Bellavalle Kennels located in Deatsville, AL. We are a small home based kennel. Our dogs live in the house with us and are treated as part of the family. Our puppies are raised in our house where they receive love and attention daily. They are exposed to every day household noises and socialized in a way that makes them be ready to go into their new homes with very little adjustment. We have over 35 years of breeding experience. We are proud members of the Lagotto Romagnolo Club of America and the International Association of Canine Professionals. We find so much fulfillment in helping families find their next four-legged family member.

    Verified owner · June 2023

    We had such a wonderful experience getting our beautiful puppy from Bellavelle. Karen and her wonderful husband went above and beyond to help us not only get our new family member Sophie, but also have given us outstanding support and advice as we teach our children how to welcome Sophie into our family. I couldn't recommend a better breeder for your puppy and for the life of your dog than Karen at Bellavalle. They are only a phone call away if we have any questions or need advice on how to help our family or our little Sophie as we grow together. She is the perfect family pup and family member. We adore her! Also our Vet is so impressed with Sophie's health and temperament. They have not had much experience with Lagattos but they love her too!
