At the Del Piccolo Diavolo kennel, a particularly awaited litter has arrived: on August 1, 2026 our Bilquis Goddess Diabhal — Italian Show Champion (ENCI) and 4th at the 2024 World Dog Show in Zagreb — became a mother. A carefully planned mating that combines the pedigree of Bilquis Goddess Diabhal, daughter of Skilful-dogs Nora, with the solid Italian lines of the sire Black Jack Di Casa Giacalone, son of the 2023 World Champion Quash Marvelous Hagler de Stafflorence.
The newborn puppies
At thirty days
On 31 August the puppies turned one month old. Their eyes have been open for weeks, their legs hold them up, and the period begins in which a puppy learns what is normal and what is frightening: voices, hands picking him up, the sounds of the house.
A puppy from this litter at thirty days, in the house.
The puppies grow up indoors with us. Italian law forbids placing a puppy before sixty days: here they stay with their mother up to seventy.

Why this litter is special
The dam: a Champion born from Champions
Bilquis is not just a brood bitch: she is an Italian Show Champion (ENCI), placed 4th at the 2024 World Dog Show in Zagreb in one of the toughest competitions in the world. And she carries a pedigree that speaks for itself: she is the daughter of Skilful-dogs Nora, already the mother of two Italian Champions (Bilquis herself and Lothar Matthäus). Type, structure and temperament passed down from generation to generation.
The sire: Black Jack Di Casa Giacalone
Black Jack is a young black male (born April 2025) with a top-level pedigree: his father is Quash Marvelous Hagler de Stafflorence, 2023 World Champion in Geneva, from the renowned de Stafflorence line. His mother is Ultima Di Casa Giacalone, Italian Junior Champion, from the Di Casa Giacalone and Staffystar kennels, rich in Italian and International Champions. Compact, typey structure, full scissor bite.
Genetic tests
The parents are tested for the main genetic conditions of the breed:
| Test | Black Jack | Bilquis |
|---|---|---|
| L2HGA (L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria) | Free by parents* | Clear (N/N) |
| HC (Hereditary Cataract) | Free by parents* | Clear (N/N) |
| Bite | Full scissor | Full scissor |
* Clear by parentage: both of Black Jack's parents are tested Clear for L2HGA and HC, so the offspring cannot be genetically affected. The certificates are detailed below. Black Jack is a young male: individual official tests are scheduled.
Black Jack’s parents: the certificates
Quash Marvelous Hagler de Stafflorence
Male, born 26/02/2021 — microchip 380260160176743
Antagene (La Tour de Salvagny, France) — report A00046270, validated 08/09/2023
- L2HGA (L2HGDH): Clear (N/N)
- HC (HSF4): Clear (N/N)
- Hyperuricosuria (SLC2A9): Clear (N/N)
- MDR1: Clear (N/N)
Ultima Di Casa Giacalone
Female — microchip 380260044680718, pedigree LO2313633
EVG Molekularna Diagnostika (Maribor, Slovenia) — reference 2026-083880/01, 27/08/2026
- L2HGA (L2HGDH): Clear (WT/WT)
- HC (HSF4): Clear (WT/WT)
Both parents are normal homozygous for L2HGA and hereditary cataract: neither carries the defective allele, so Black Jack cannot have inherited it. Hyperuricosuria and MDR1 are tested on the sire only, so for those two the offspring cannot be declared clear by parentage.
