We travelled to Italy's 'Bagnara di Romagna Lagotto Raduno' in 2012, expanding our breed knowledge and have since invested ample time into truffle work education to Australia, including the promotion of Swiss truffle training expert Denise Stalder (2014) to Bredbo NSW. We're passionately involved with expanding "Truffle Sports Australia" education, with Denise's help. For example, Truffle sports (FB page) will be featured at this years Animal Expo, April 2018. Truffle sports training days are also held at our property. In 2010-2017 we volunteered for the Lagotto club of SA, promoting ample breed curricular activity the past decade. Including showcasing dogs each year Club events (Expo, Carnevale) & our dogs have featured in the DogsNSW Breed feature for 2012) . We do all current testing - HD,EYE, LSD, & BFJE, HUU, COAT & Volhard test only selectively breed toward betterment every few years or so, with a focus on introducing new lines suitable for disability assistance/ truffle/ working and show abilities when requested by family & friends.

The Parity team is a mother/daughter collaboration and we have been involved with the breed since 2008. We were in NSW but are now based in South Australia. We enjoy our lovely dogs as members of the family. Our lines are based on dogs we have been fortunate to import from fantastic kennels overseas. We are always grateful for co-operation with other breeders here in Australia too, it's great to work together toward improvement of the breed. Those dogs that are old enough have been hip and elbow scored with excellent results. Patellas, hearts and eyes are checked. We use MyDogDNA genetic testing for every dog used in breeding to ensure that our dogs are clear of any known issues within our breed. Temperament is of utmost importance. The Lagotto Romagnolo is an intelligent working breed and, despite their cuddly look, they can be quite high energy and definitely require training and boundaries. As with any breed, remember to do your research to ensure a good, long-term match. We do not keep a waiting list, but suggest that those interested keep an eye on our website Available page and/or our Facebook page. When there is a happy announcement to be made, it will be found in those places and we will start to accept expressions of interest via email. Members of The Gundog Club of SA.

Glenstarz is sister kennel to the well known and award winning kennel Glenstar Lagotto Romagnolo in New Zealand, where we breed, show and own the dogs in Australia along side each other. We believe in staying up-to-date with the best breeding practices. Extensive regular health-testing, research, mentoring and ongoing learning are essential Lagottos are a breed with diverse potential and may be suitable for many purposes (including loving pets, assistance dogs, dog sports and so much more!). In order to provide a solid foundation for puppies and owners for all their future endeavours, we are very passionate about raising puppies who are poised to be mentally stable adult dogs. Along with selective breeding, I utilise Puppy Culture and ENS to start puppies on their journey to being confident, resilient and well-rounded adults. Through fostering and maintaining relationships with experts in the breed, I have been lucky to incorporate dogs with incredible lines from around the world. Our dogs pedigrees are packed full of dogs from some of the best kennels worldwide. All our dogs are extensively health tested, including but not limited too: Hip/elbow scores, eye scores, patellas checked and DNA tested.
