I'm the breeder behind Curly Acres Lagotto Romagnolo located in Riverdale, CA. My goal is to provide happy dogs that will become excellent family members! My dogs are health tested and bred for temperament. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond. I look forward to connecting you with your next puppy!
About Sandra
I am a retired nurse. I was lucky to get my Lagotto Romagnolo and am being mentored by her breeder. Sophie has had all of her health testing done, which is very important in my breeding program, along with only breeding dogs with good temperament. Sophie has also earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Novice Trick Dog (TKN) and has been competing in conformation.
What makes Sandra’s program special
I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. Therefore I will be using the Puppy Culture program. I do all health testing prior to breeding, and only breed dogs with good temperaments. The puppies go to their forever homes at 10-12 weeks. They get a veterinarian exam, receive their first puppy shots, are wormed, and get a microchip before they go home.
