About Amico Roma

Amico (“Friend”) Roma (“Rome”) is a premier breeder of Lagotto Romagnolo puppies run by Carly and Kevin. Established in 2015, Amico Roma is family-owned and operated, located in McMinnville, Oregon—just outside of Portland. All of the Lagotto Romagnolo in Amico Roma’s breeding program are from Italy and have a range of pedigrees, which includes AKC, ENCI, NAPR and APRI.

How it Started

Carly and Kevin’s lifelong love of Lagotti started at first sight while dining at a restaurant in Oregon’s wine country. They had never seen nor heard of a Lagotto before but were completely enamored by its adorable appearance and acquired taste for truffles. It was not long before the couple found themselves on a plane to Italy to meet and welcome the newest member of their family, who hunts truffles with them in the Pacific Northwest today.

Since then, Carly and Kevin have added three kids and four more Lagotti to their family. Together, they all enjoy the busy farm life and take pride in breeding quality Lagotto puppies. Life is wonderful when you have your family and Lagotti always by your side.
