Retired Dogs

The Dogs of Montagna del Mare

Paisley

Montagna del Mare Paisley

Paisley was born July 2019 and is another Stallone/Pancetta girl. She had her first litter of 6 puppies, four males and two females at the end of December 2021.   She is very much like her mother and produced lovely puppies with great temperaments. This one is the clown of the family. She just makes you laugh and has a very cherub like way about her. A bit on the willful side, she lives life her way. She greets new people with a wiggle and is so very sweet. She is clear of all known inherited conditions, has good hips and patella.  Paisley produced two lovely litters but her las labor was a little tough, and she had a c-section for the last birth.  We felt that she was telling us she would rather just be a happy family pet, so she is now spayed, retired. We found the perfect home for her where she is thriving being an only dog to her wonderful human companion.

Armando (aka Tank)

Il Granaio del Malatesta Armando – we couldn’t use Armando, or “Tank” as we called him in our breeding program, so we rehomed him to a wonderful woman in Canada who had a girl from our first litter. He loves his life there.

Marco

Il Granaio dei Malatesta Marco – Marco was retired in 2017 and as he deserved his own family, we made the decision to rehome him. He went to a family in Tacoma, WA. with a great family who loved and spoiled him, and was a constant companion.  Marco began having issues with his back and neck and his owners felt that he was in much pain, and went across the Rainbow Bridge in 2021.

Fendi

LK Fendi for Montagna del Mare – Fendi is a true delight and came to us as a puppy in 2011 with her grandma Tess. She delivered 4 wonderful litters. Her temperament is very sweet and she is wicked smart. After she retired, she went to live with one of her sons in Idaho and enjoyed several years with them.  Unfortunately, her life was cut short by illness, and she passed in 2022.  Memories of her will forever be in our minds and hearts.

Pancetta

Nostryffelns Pancetta – Pancetta came to us in 2011 from Sweden. She was the 10th puppy born in a litter of 10, and has always been the funniest dog with goofy ways. She had wonderful litters with great temperaments. She retired in 2019 from breeding, and lives with us.

Clarice

Montagna del Mare LK Clarice – “Cece” as we called her, just retired in 2020 after her last litter. She always wanted to be the center of attention, so we made the decision that rehoming her would make her happiest. We found the perfect home and she is now living her best life in Seattle.

Faythe

Montagna del Mare Faythe – Faythe is a lovely “patch” girl where the base color is white with brown patches. She is the daughter of Fendi and her daddy is a lovely white boy out of Canada. She gave us 3 stunning litters and we have kept her daughter Ethel Mermaid to carry on the line. Faythe is very special to Therese as she credits her with finding a spot on her breast where cancer was found. This special girl will live out her life with us.

Rizzoli

Montagna del Mare Rizzoli- Sweet Rizzoli is a beautiful orange girl that unfortunately did not meet all breeding requirements. She has a lovely personality and absolutely loves to cuddle. We felt that she deserved her own family where she could be a constant companion and go on lots of hikes.

Via Lattea

Montagna del Mare Via Lattea- Via is half-sister to Faythe and another Fendi daughter. She didn’t meet all breeding standards so could not be used in the breeding program. She is a little shy and prefers to be with her human all day and all night. Finding a retired person who could work with her and spend quality time and needed a companion was a godsend and she now lives in Bellingham and thriving.

Guido

Romakome Lieto Guido – Guido was our first Lagotto and came to us from the Netherlands in 2005. He earned his IABCA Championship years before our breed was fully recognized by AKC. He sired 2 litters, then retired in 2014. His kidneys began to fail and Guido died in March 2019, just one month shy of his 14th birthday. We miss him every day.
