Truffle Dog Handling
The collection of the truffle may not be realized without the friendship: that of the dog with the truffle-hunter.
The dog is the main architect of the collection of white truffle and it is necessary to go to truffle even once to see that.

The dog leds the research, the truffle hunter follows him, often in silence, sometimes urging the dog to work: it could be made up of words, sounds, gestures or looks, but the dialogue between the truffle-hunter and his dog is never interrupted.
The truffle-dogs can be dogs of breeds predisposed to search for truffles or mestizos, but always the result of crosses between truffle-dogs; they are docile, intelligent and very expressive animals.
Each truffle-hunter knows the meaning of every movement of his dog, from a sudden rush of a particular way to sniff the air or the ground to many other small details.
See a truffle-hunter and his dog suddenly dig a small hole in the ground to draw from a truffle, that could be small or big, broken or perfect, round or flattened, is how to participate each time in the
discovery of a treasure.
Very young Gianluca Palmerini started to look for truffles, and immediately started to train his second dog. He took the decision to start to train and breed truffle-dogs.

Breeding and training truffle-dogs
In our breeding we train and breed dogs for the search of white truffle.The breeds we prefer are Lagotto, Bracco, Pointer and any intersections.
Dogs of San Bernardino are all puppies of truffle-champions with high pedigree. Only the puppies that have a greater propensity to search for truffles are choosen and any defects are corrected during the training.
Our strength
Those who choose our dogs know our seriousness, and that a dog of San Bernardino is the son of selected truffle-champion. Who chooses us knows that having truffle-reserves inside the estate allows us to train dogs in the woods with certainly better results rather than other scenario.To book your puppy or adult dog contact us
