The Lagotto Romagnolo is a small to medium-sized, muscular water retriever and truffle hunter with curly hair and a great disposition. The triangular ears have rounded tips, and the large, round eyes are dark yellow or brown depending on the coat color. The waterproof double coat has thick, curly hair and hardly sheds. Many consider the breed to be hypoallergenic. Coat colors can include more than one color of brown, roan, off white, white or orange.
