## Our Story

### From Crufts to Ostellato

The passion began in 2005 at Crufts. I was looking for a dog with strong but manageable character: the Staffy appeared to me as a "miniature Rottweiler" — powerful, determined, incredibly affectionate.

Since then I've studied the standard, traveled to UK and Ireland, met experienced breeders.

### Why Elitebull and Lackyle

**Elitebull** (UK): typical head, compact structure, stable temperament. Show winners but above all balanced dogs.

**Lackyle** (Ireland): athletic, excellent bone structure, sociable character. Perfect for families with children.

## Breeding Philosophy

### Quality, Not Quantity

1-2 litters per year. Every pairing is planned: we study pedigrees, evaluate genetic compatibility, wait for the right moment.

### Character Selection

Before including a dog in our program, we observe it for months: behavior at home, with strangers, other dogs, children. It must be confident, balanced, sociable.

### What You Receive With Our Puppy

- ENCI Pedigree — FCI certificate recognized worldwide

- Microchip registered with canine registry

- Health booklet with vaccinations and deworming

- L2HGA and HC genetic test certificates of parents

- Sales contract with guarantees

- Puppy kit: food, blanket with mom's scent, toy

- Our number — Support for the dog's entire life

## We're Not Sellers, We're Guardians

We don't breed for profit. Each litter costs thousands of euros in tests, veterinary care, quality food. You'll never find our puppies on classified ads. We also select the owners.
