What does Truffle mean?
/ˈtɹʌf.l̩/

Truffle refers to the rare, aromatic fungus prized in cooking, a word that reached English from French truffe, ultimately from Latin tuber, meaning "lump" or "swelling" - the same root behind the word "tuber." Truffles grow underground and are famously sniffed out by trained dogs and pigs.

Earthy and a little bit luxurious, Truffle suits a dog with a rich, dark coat or a nose for finding trouble - and treats.
