Del Piccolo Diavolo - Selection, health and character
When you think of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier kennel, do you imagine tidy boxes and identical puppies? With us it's different. Every dog has a name, a story, a character. We don't breed in series: we cultivate relationships, memories and unforgettable moments.
Genetic Testing - ENCI Pedigree - Since 2013
One litter a year, sometimes none
With us those numbers are already public. On the page of our females you will find the microchip and studbook number of every brood bitch, in plain sight. Anyone can take that data and check on the ENCI website who owns the dog, who bred it and what its pedigree says — without asking us anything. Alongside those numbers you will find the genetic test reports as PDFs, downloadable by anyone, with the dog's name and microchip readable. Puppies are placed with an ENCI pedigree, the document recognised by the FCI across all member countries.
«About eight months ago I decided I wanted a Staffy as my companion in adventures, and I started reading up so I could turn to the most reliable kennel possible. […] Now I have my own little devil, thanks to this wonderful family I will never stop thanking.»

How a litter comes about, from choosing the parents to placement
Why choose a Del Piccolo Diavolo puppy
Because here you're not a number. We tell you everything about the parents, we welcome you into our home, we accompany you even after adoption. If you want, you can choose your puppy's name together with us.
At the Kennel: Health comes first
Each dog is followed by trusted veterinarians, with regular checkups and genetic tests. We prefer few litters, followed with care, to guarantee quality and well-being.
The Staffy: a true companion
The Staffy is strong, affectionate, playful. He loves children and bonds deeply with the family. If you're looking for a sincere friend who follows you everywhere and makes you smile every day, you're in the right place.
