Moka & puppies
The super-mother Moka (Lagotto Romagnolo)
The Lagotto Romagnolo is the only breed defined as a truffle hunter and it started as a duck retriever in the marshes of north-east Italy. After those marshes were drained in the late 19th century, the dogs were put to new use. One of their particular advantages, is that all urge to chase game has been bred out of them. His Italian name "Lagotto" is derived from "lago", meaning a lake; Romagnolo refers to the northern Italian district where he originated.
