We aren't properly a "kennel": our dogs are our pets first (well, and my father's hunting dogs too - yes, IGs can hunt!), so I breed a litter only when I'm interested in keeping something for me.
Since 2002, I bred only one litter and for the second one I have to thank Mimi's co-owners Massimo and Roberta Pusceddu, who bred the litter under my name. And the 3rd litter, only one male puppy, well... it wasn't exactly "planned" (never leave a male who can open any door/cage/lock near a bitch in season!!!)
From the 4th litter, the first with my registered kennel name (from Harlekino of Devils Doves x A Large Ion Collider Experiment), I have kept two seal females, Fate and Nox, both in co-ownership.
Now, after having passed patellas and eye checks, I plan to breed Fate - end of 2017 or beginning of 2018, not sure yet, so: stay tuned!A litter ("The CERN trio")

The CERN trio Our first litter was born on August 11th, 2008, when our Mimě (Anghelu Ruju Melissa) gave birth to three wonderful puppies, 2 males and one female, also know as "the CERN trio".
So I'm proud to introduce to you:
Apparatus For LEP Physics ("ALEPH")
Fawn male
A Large Ion Collider Experiment ("ALICE")
Blue female
A Toroidal LHC Apparatus ("ATLAS")
Fawn male
Owned by Mrs Liga Strazdina ("Astra Bravissimo" kennel) & Mrs Ieva Stapane ("Verismo" kennel)The father of the litter is the wonderful Texas Roadrunner For Caveja, imported from the USA and owned by breeder-judge Gilberto Grandi (kennel "della Caveja"). Tex, who's perfectly healthy, is the father of BISS IT AUT CH Italo della Caveja (my favourite dog!) and of BISS Isis della Caveja, owned by Sobers kennel.
The pedigree of the litter is a TOTAL OUTCROSS: 10-Generation COI is about 0,2% and the first ancestor in common, the mythical CH Dasa's King of the Mountain, appears only in 7th generation.
Mimi's pedigree is a very classical and OLD european one: it presents a linebreeding 4 x 3 on the french CH Fidelio du Manoir des Ombreuses.
Mimi's father Osvaldo is a son of CH Efenisio della Caveja (Gris-Gris de Shirkan x CH Sobers Emperia) and of Myricae (daughter of the german CH Adrian vom Wetterstein and of Hilda dei Piccoli Veltri, whose pedigree is a "mix" of first Vertragus dogs and old San Siro and Calcione dogs).
Mimi's mother Isolina comes from CH Bartali (CH Fidelio du Manoir des Ombreuses x CH Vertragus Luna) and above all from a PURE CALCIONE BITCH, Aura (out from Volo and Zula del Calcione, dogs born in two of the late litters bred by Maria Luisa Incontri).
It isn't easy today to find a pedigree with pure Calcione dogs only in 2nd generation!!
Mimě is full sister of Brasia (mother of Multi CH Adelchi Sirio), and of Bachisio (father of CH Nico).
PS Perhaps someone has noticed the "odd" names I gave to my puppies: they are all named after CERN high energy physics experiments. In particular, ALICE was the argument of my graduation thesis. Yes, we nuclear physicists have a "strange" sense of humor!!!

I'd like to thanks here all the people who have make my CERN litter possible: thanks to Gilberto Grandi, my mentor and owner of Tex; thanks to my friend Elettra Grassi (Tessaiga Shibas), for being my first "supporter", and thanks to her "Shiba staff", Massimo Cozzi and Dr. Domenico Bevilacqua: simply because without you this litter would have never been born.
I'd like also to thank Roberta Mereu and Massimo Pusceddu (Mimi's & Caos' co-owners), who bred the B-litter under my name.
