Any experiences with Lagotto Romagnolo hounds and truffles?

Heard they're pretty good at locating truffles. Guy at work bought one and said the people who owned it before him had it locate roughly $250,000 worth of truffles in the Tennessee hills near Chatanooga / Blackberry Farms.

I would imagine any good working could be trained to locate those.

I've been wondering about how to teach my dog to locate truffles.

I can't see a German shepherd being an efficient truffle hunter to be honest.

You can purchase one of the lagottos from Blackberry Farm. Last time I was there, I think the price tag was around 10K and the wait was roughly 4 to 5 years.

Yeah that's where he got his. That is a little out of my price range though.

It's an investment. You spot me the 10K. I'll quit my day job and find truffles with this Lagotto full time around Asheville. We'll split the profit.

The 10K was just for a puppy... not trained or anything. I have no clue what goes into teaching a dog to dig up truffles. I thought the ones that were worth good money only grew in Italy or something?

Tho, did he thcore thum truffles yet?
Sounds like a small investment for a large return.....

That dog makes more money in a day then you do in 100 consecutive McDonald's shifts.

The only truffles I'm familiar with are the ones on truffle fries and the ones I ate in Amsterdam that were like shitty shrooms.

You're probably thinking of white truffles. They only grow around Alba, Italy and can bring extraordinary prices.
