Jun 1200:23:43Tap to summarizeJim Sanford is a renowned trainer and breeder of Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, known for their intelligence and truffle-hunting abilities. His unconventional career began with two decades of elephant training across the globe before he settled in Tennessee. At Blackberry Farm, a luxury resort, Jim initially contributed to fly fishing and horseback riding programs. His career took a new direction in 2007 when he was asked to train a Lagotto Romagnolo to find truffles—despite not knowing what a truffle was at the time. This challenge led to the development of a breeding program, importing dogs from Italy and training them for truffle work. Over the years, Jim has delivered more than 300 Lagotto puppies to owners, emphasizing that proper training and ongoing involvement are essential. The dogs, beloved for their curly hypoallergenic coats and affectionate personalities, have become a signature part of the Blackberry Farm experience. Jim now also leads truffle-hunting tours in Italy and organizes events like Il Raduno, a springtime reunion for Lagotto owners at the farm. His work reflects not only a deep love for animals but also a talent for building personal connections and experiences through his unique skill set.
