Apple, also known as Mela, is truly one in a million!

Bred by Marco Nicolai.

Melissa contacted me in 2017 about sending Apple to ON to be finished. Little did we know then what we would accomplish. 

She finished quickly, consistently placing in the group and she never looked back. She went on to win multiple Group 1sts, finish her Grand Championship, and was the first female to win Best in Specialty show in Canada by winning Best of Breed, Best Construction & Movement at the Lagotto Romagnolo Club of Canada National Specialty. She finished the year as the #1 Lagotto in Canada.

I'm grateful to be Apple's retirement home.

In 2021, she became the first Lagotto in Canada to win a Best Veteran in Group.

She's won over hearts across the country and introduced so many people to this wonderful breed.
