Lagotto Romagnolo Breeders, Christchurch NZ

Glenstar kennels was established in 1978 with our Labradors, in 2010 our first Lagotto Gucci joined us from Australia, she was soon joined by Orsino and Tiziana. Over the years we have been determined to establish a wider gene pool in New Zealand and therefore have imported dogs from Italy, Finland and Australia. Glenstar is the home of New Zealands top winning Lagotto Romagnolo with numerous Best and Reserve In Show awards. We strive to breed healthy dogs with fantastic temperaments. All our breeding dogs are screened for Hip and Elbow dysplasia, patella subluxation, DNA tested for Juvinile epilepsy, Lagotto storage disease, PRA/cataracts and HUU. Our dogs have also have annual eye and heart clearances. Health testing within the breed is evolving as DNA testing becomes available. Our puppies are raised in the home and are well socialised and temperament assessed before going to their new homes. Lagotto bred by Glenstar can be found not only in NZ but internationally in loving family homes as pets, assistance dogs, truffle hunting, agility, scent work and the show ring. Our sister kennel is now based in Australia - Glenstarz Lagotto Romagnolo Facebook: Glenstar NZ & Glenstarz AU
