Pesca is now 8 months old.  She has a lot of orange in her coat now.  Her white areas are a creamy color and no longer white.

Here is her color along her back and head, right after a bath and trim.

People sometimes ask if the Lagotto likes to dig.   If allowed, they usually do.  Here are photos of some of my dogs having a grand time in the space we have designated as their "sandbox".  These photos were taken over the period of a couple of years since we created this space for them to dig. 







At the top is Ginna in the process of shooting dirt out at a mad pace to get to some unknown target.





Middle photo is of Pesca in the giant hole they all dug.  She is able to go in and turn around.  She hides from the others when the frisbee is coming her way.


Bottom photo is of Vando.  Ginna has the frisbee.

Occasionally John fills in the holes so they get to start all over again.  Having this space keeps them from digging all over the yard.

I was going to take Ginevra and Pesca to the shows in Flagstaff in June but decided to sit this one out.  Ginna and her puppy play together all the time and the puppy has managed to chew off a lot of Ginna's headpiece so she looks somewhat ragged.  Ginna is very patient and lets her puppy chew on her hair.  I will have to do some "redirecting of activity" so we can grow the hair back so we can get back to showing.

My white puppy is turning orange!  These photos are from mid-April bath.  She is a bit over 4.5 months and the large amounts of orange are more apparent when she is wet.  When she is dry, she is a soft orange over most of her coat.  I suppose it will all fade eventually but she gets darker with each haircut at this time.  I am getting her and Ginevra's coats ready for shows in mid-June.  Pesca will be old enough to enter AKC shows after May 21 when she turns 6 mo.

Here is a photo of Massimo (Apollon X Ginevra), litter mate to Pesca.  He graduated from his puppy obedience class with honors of "most improved".

Here is the photo of Ginna the day she won her first point in AKC Miscellaneous Class.

We made a short video of the dogs playing frisbee and of Pesca jumping in a hole to hide from the incoming frisbee and the big dogs in pursuit.  She is pretty funny!
