The short answer is no. There's a common myth that only certain breeds, like the Lagotto Romagnolo, can hunt truffles. While this breed does have an impressive reputation and the right characteristics, it’s not the only dog capable of finding truffles. Instead of focusing on the breed, it’s more important to consider a dog’s individual traits. Working dogs, for example, might make training easier because they’re naturally inclined to work and follow commands. But almost any dog can learn to identify truffle scent with the right training. Performance in the field—across challenging terrain and over long periods—depends on many factors: training, experience, health, natural abilities, and more. So, the key takeaway is this: you don’t need a specific breed to succeed at truffle hunting. It’s all about the commitment and effort you and your dog put into the training. What are your thoughts? Do you think any dog can become a truffle hunter?
