From that day I studied, traveled, met other breeders and lived every day with these extraordinary dogs. Every choice comes from experience and the desire to offer the best. ### Daily life in our kennel Every morning begins with greetings, runs in the meadow and cuddles with the puppies. Our Staffys live with us, in the house and garden, learning to know different sounds, smells and people. They grow up serene, in an environment full of stimuli and affection. ## 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. ## What to know before getting a Staffy Everything you need to know before and after your puppy arrives.

No. With serious character selection, early socialization and responsible owners, the Staffy is an affectionate and stable dog. After over 12 years breeding this breed, I can guarantee that aggression depends on genetics, education and environment, not the breed. Is the Staffy good with children? Absolutely yes. Traditionally called "nanny dog" for its extraordinary patience with children. Our Staffies grow up in contact with children, naturally developing gentleness and protection. What genetic tests do you perform? All our breeding dogs are tested for: L2HGA, HC (Hereditary Cataract) and PHPV. Tests are essential for producing healthy puppies. Each puppy comes with certificates of the parents' tests. Can I visit the kennel? Absolutely yes, in fact I highly recommend it. At our kennel in Ostellato (Ferrara, Italy) I welcome visitors by appointment. You will see the adult dogs, how the puppies live, and verify documentation and pedigree.

I was immediately fascinated by these muscular and affectionate puppies, who won me over like true miniature Rottweilers. Having already experience with Rottweilers, I discovered a new world: made of determination, intelligence and unconditional love. ## Get in touch to meet our Staffies in person Call us for a no-obligation chat.
