I'm the breeder behind Yellow Brick Road Lagotto Romagnolo located in Shawnee, KS. I strive to produce beautiful Lagotto puppies that are healthy, social, outgoing, loyal, and at the same time make excellent conformation show prospects! I love sharing my passion for this breed with others who enjoy it just as much as I do and enjoy building relationships with people. I look forward to connecting with you!
About Kimberly
Our Lagottos are a huge part of our day-to-day lives, and we enjoy spending time with them on our little slice of paradise in a small town in Kansas City. I was so excited to establish my breeding program and responsibly share my love and knowledge for this breed with others. It has been a joy of a journey, and I take pride in each and every one of the puppies that I help produce!
What makes Kimberly’s program special
I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Lagotto line. I have spent much of my time, efforts, and attention researching and learning about the breed, and I have been fortunate to receive guidance from a very caring mentor as well! I have welcomed several litters into the world, and am excited to continue sharing this breed with others!

Why Kimberly started breeding
I became interested in the Lagotto in 2010. Because of my long-standing love for Retrievers, I wanted to find a smaller dog but with a Retriever personality. A year after I was introduced to the Lagotto, I found myself in Italy truffle hunting with them! My love for the Lagotto had officially been born, and my life has been Lagotto crazy ever since. I realize how lucky I am to have this wonderful breed of dog as part of my life, and I want to share that same gift with others.
