One of the most common questions we receive from prospective puppy owners is what color their puppy will be as an adult. The answer is not always straightforward, as the coat color of a Lagotto Romagnolo often changes over time. In many cases, the puppy coat is only a starting point, and the final color gradually develops during the first few years of life.

On this page, we use examples from our own dogs and puppies to illustrate the most common color changes seen in the breed. Our goal is to provide a realistic expectation of how a Lagotto's coat may evolve as it matures.
