In modern times, the Lagotto Romagnolo is being bred more and more for hunting truffles rather than water retrieving.
As a result, some members of the breed possess digging instincts, which can be satisfied by providing them with either a sandbox or someplace similar where they can indulge that particular urge.
For the most part, the Lagotto Romagnolo is a friendly breed, thus making it an excellent choice of canine companion for a lot of families out there.
