We are happy parents :)

Azza and I have been wanting to have a dog since before we moved in to our new house in 2015. But, we were not ready that time because our house just wasn't ready for the dog, as we just finished built it and there were some stuffs that needed to be done. We didn't even have proper backyard and fences. In the beginning of this year, finally all the jobs done. We have nice backyard with grass, and we also have beautiful fences that Azza made himself. So we were thinking that it is time to have fur baby.
We (mostly Azza, lol) were doing some serious research for the perfect fur baby for us. I want the one that cute and doesn't drop hair because our house already full with my freaking hair everywhere, I'm so sick looking at it, lol. And Azza wants relatively big dog that could run with him and could guard the house from unwelcome creatures. So we came into conclusion that it would be poodle crossed something fairly big. We googled googled and googled and we found someone posted an ad on Gumtree that she'll be selling some pups of poodle crossed staffy. We thought that would be perfect combination. But, the thing is, the pup would not come until 18 weeks at that time, so we had to wait.

During our waiting period, Azza still kept on searching. And finally he found someone that was ready to sell her pup, but the breed was Lagotto Romagnolo. We weren't sure because the breed wasn't common. But, when Azza showed me the pic of the pup, I fell in love straight away. In my heart I knew that he was the one. But Azza wasn't sure and he was doing proper research about this type of breed. I sort of pushing Azza to give the owner a call just to get more information about this pup. Luckily he listened to me, thank god! The more he researched about this breed the more he liked it.

So, on 25 Janury 2017, on Australia Day, we decided to drive to Ipswich to get the pup. When we arrived there and looked at the pup, we were so happy because he's such a super cute pup and the family that had him was a very nice family. We took the pup home and we named him Rollo. We took the name from the series Vikings.

We introduced Rollo to Azza's family, and they also fell in love with him straight away because he's super duper cute.
Lagotto Romagnolo is dog breed originally from Italy. It is a working dog and a water dog. People in Italy use them for truffle hunting. And they also love to swim. Lagotto is a medium sized dog with fluffy wool which is perfect for us. We really got what we wanted.

Rollo is such a good pup, he likes to be with you but he's not demanding. He's very independent dog. He could entertain himself if he sees us busy or resting or sleeping. Rollo is also very smart dog, he learns very quickly and understands us as well. We take him to pup school every Tuesday and Saturday. We have him for almost 3 months now, and he already grown so much. We love him very much.
